Answers:
I would suggest keep trying new foods and vegetables!. When I first went vegetarian I hated all vegetables besides, corn, broccoli and carrots!. Over time my tastes changed and I began to like more veggies!.
I also found that I like most vegetables cooked a certain way(lightly steamed), and if they are over cooked I do not like the taste!. You should see if you like your veggies cooked a certain way!.
Some times it takes me eating the same vegetable numerous times before I actually like it!. Most recently I found out I like zucchini, which I had tried before a few times and hated it!. Taste change over time, so keep trying!.
Vegetables and other foods I have added to my favorite list since becoming vegetarian!.!.!. cauliflower, green beans, chickpeas, spinach, squash, mushrooms, peppers, onions, watermelon, cantaloupe, red grapes, etc!. All these foods I didn't like and it took a few times and different ways of preparing to finally enjoy them!. Now it is not uncommon for me to eat green beans, or cauliflower as a snack!.
You may be a picky eater, but you should put that aside and at what you need to stay healthy!. You may find that you are not as picky as you think and it is just that you are unwilling to try new things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have been veggie for 26 years and started out really picky - over the years I have gradually tried different foods - starting out by chopping them really small and slowly increasing their size!.
I hate anything that is trying to be meat - tofu, fake meat etc but enjoy a wide range of vegetables which I have plain, as a curry, stir fry, casserole, mexican, chilli!.
It really is a case of trial and error and perserverance - do not think of yourself as picky - just someone who has not tried the things that they like yet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well cooked vegetables would be pretty much everything you can eat unless you want to survive on a raw diet, bread and pulses!. maybe try different styles of cooking like frying, grilling etc!. and try to find spices you like!. vegetables can be quite disgusting when overcooked so try to cook or roast or whatever you do with the vegetables for the minimum required time!. i'm sure there are thing you'll love!. you probably just haven't discovered them yet!. (i really hope so for you:) have a look at italian and mexican vegetable recipes, also thai and chinese vegetable dishes are tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Vegetables: try steaming them!. Every vegetable I've eaten tastes better steamed than any other method!. I can eat almost any vegetable that way without the need for seasoning!.
Tofu: Make a smoothie with it!. My favorite blend: 1 cup OJ, 1/4 block of tofu, 1 banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal!. Nutritious and delicious!.
Tempeh: It has a firmer texture than tofu!.
Experiment with seasonings and find some you like!. Go away from the "norm" and you should be able to find something that satisfies you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
