I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

Brussel sprouts. Lots of people hate them because they got them overcooked as children but they are so pretty and so delicious if prepared properly.
Fun fact: Brussel sprouts taste better now because the bitterness was intentionally selectively bred out of them in the '90s. They were, apparently, only bitter for a period of time because the ones that were easiest to mechanically harvest were bitter. Pre-mechanical harvesting, less bitter varieties were more popular.

Dang. That answers a question I didn't even know how to ask. Thanks!
Went to a friend's house one day, she put salt and pepper on a tray of brussel sprouts, put in broiler for a short time. Changed my mind forever, delicious.
My dad used to sautee them with bits of bacon or prosciutto. I don't eat pork anymore, but god damn do I miss those Brussels sprouts.
