I love pinakbet too. Are you from the north? A native ilocano? I am from Pangasinan and I love cooking pinakbet too. Do you use fish paste? or shrimp paste?
I was raised up in the province and my grandmother always tells me to eat plenty of vegetables. She always she it's good for the body and helps you be alert all day. That's why I am used to eating such up to now. I do prefer vegetables more than that of meat. It is really so nutritious and I'm glad my grandma had thought me to love eating vegetables.

My parents had taught me well not to leave any leftover food on my plate even if that includes the not so tasty to eat like veggies. Eventually over time, I had grown to love vegetables as much as other food like pork, chicken and beef. Broccoli is my favorite of them all.

I am not a vegetarian, but I certainly prefer eating vegetables to meat. I believe in the herbal values of veggies. When I go to a restaurant where buffet is served, my choices are more on the vegetables side. I take some sea-food preparations, but I seldom take the meat dishes. I would also very much like drinking fruit juices.

I love Pinakbet, it's all veggies and the bagoong in it makes it special! I also enjoy eating veggies and my fav is broccoli and cauli flowers plus squash flower and fruit. I also enjoy eating ampalaya and eggplant special when it's broiled or fried with crunchy bread crumbs!

Vegetables are really good for our health. However, kids are really picky when it comes to food they eat so most of the time they would choose and prefer fried chicken over chopsuey or other vegetable dishes. But as we grow old, we realize how important the value of vegetables are in our body. So sometimes, even if bitter melon (ampalaya) does not taste good, psychologically, we like to eat it because we know its health benefits and we are already aware that we HAVE TO eat vegetables.
