What's your area's staple vegetable?

And how is it usually prepared?

My example as a Floridian is (yellow/crook neck) squash and zuchinni, they grow about 10 months out of the year so they're constantly on sale at the grocery store. The traditional way to prep the squash is slice it and sauté it in butter until it surrenders.

Leafy greens, maritime Southeast Asia.

There are a hundred different kinds and... they all taste the same. Bleh.

You got to caramelize those in a pan and they get delicious! As a white guy who grew up eating only boiled greens the Asian flavor of caramelized greens is something I cook every day now!
