Vegetables of Last Resort

We have to eat vegetables.  Otherwise we’d probably get scurvy, or piles or both. Vegetables of Last Resort are not necessarily unpleasant vegetables, but they are those that are only eaten when you have completely run out of fresh veg and are trying to avoid going shopping again until after pay day.  For me, frozen peas and tinned sweetcorn are my standard vegetables of last resort. Pickled beetroot is the ultimate final resort. It isn’t horrible, it’s just that it wouldn’t occur to me to eat it unless the fresh vegetables had run out.
