Favorite is butternut squash. Most hated 
okra
okra
Lima beans. Haven't eaten them in over 50 years but I remember as a kid mom would sometimes fix mixed frozen vegetables. Of course I picked out all the lima beans and put them on my younger brother's plate so he would have to eat them.
I have seen zucchini blossoms done a lot on cooking shows. Seems like they are usually fried and sometimes stuffed.
favorites are beets, and fresh homegrown tomatoes.
least favorites are lima beans, rutabegas, and corn.
i really like eggplant! but like some others have said, it must be prepared breaded and then fried until crispy.
i do like okra, but the only way i like it is sliced into rings, dipped in egg, then into breadcrumbs. lay it out on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven until done/crispy.
the okra is not slimy at all that way.

carrots, celery, pickles, zucchini, black olives, eggplant, peppers, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes are my favorite. I hate peas by themselves. In the pod taste better.
We used to call dandelions wet-the-beds when we were kids. We told each other if you picked them you'd pee yourself at night.
I don't know where we got that idea from, but I hear dandelions are a diuretic. Did your younger brother ever......um....notice that effect?
I can’t pick a favorite being I have so many.
But I will not eat okra, beets or turnips.

I've always liked Lima beans 
. They have a nice buttery taste. I like beets, too, especially pickled.
I won't eat celery sticks (stringy, ugh), but it's OK sauteed and used for flavor. I don't like big chunks though. And I don't like cooked green peppers. It makes them bitter and slimy. Raw green peppers are yummy. And I like pickled okra, but not cooked okra. It's slimy too.
Texture can be more important than taste for me. Nothing slimy. Or too smooth. Like butternut squash---I like it, but if I get the frozen mashed kind that has a smooth texture, it makes me gag. It needs to be in chunks or mashed with some chunks in it. My mom says she couldn't feed me baby food when I was an infant because it all made me gag!

Tomatoes, Broccoli, Corn, Spinach and Potatoes.
Can enjoy celery and carrots too, especially with a nice dip.
Technically tomatoes are a fruit but oh well!
Least favourite...cauliflower, radishes, string beans, onions, kale.

Okra is good if it's breaded and fried until crispy.
Not that I know of but I think he'd just pick one and eat it and it wasn't a frequent thing.We used to call dandelions wet-the-beds when we were kids. We told each other if you picked them you'd pee yourself at night.

I don't really have a favorite or a least favorite. I love all vegetables. My favorite way to cook most fresh vegetables is slice them up, put them in a bowl with a bit of canola oil and garlic salt. Then stir them around, put them in a skillet on low heat and let them pan fry just a little, just to crisp tender. Maybe sweet potato is my favorite now that I think about it a bit. They are a root vegetable. I like them hot. I like them cold. I eat one just about every day. Yep, that one is probably the favorite.
