New Zealanders hate their sprouts but love their spuds, which narrowly squeaked past tomatoes to take the No 1 spot in a survey to find the country's favourite veggies.
A New Zealand Gardener magazine readers' survey found Kiwis also love broccoli, beans (except broad beans), carrot, pumpkin and peas.
Silverbeet and spinach were the only vegetables to make it into both the 10 most-liked and most-disliked lists.
The least popular vegetable was, by a large margin, the Brussels sprout which received twice as many votes as its nearest rival, the broad bean.
While popular in Southland, the hardy swede was the third least popular vegetable in the country, followed by cabbage, turnip, silverbeet, spinach, globe artichoke, parsnip, eggplant, zucchini and marrow.
The nationwide survey had more than 2000 respondents.
