Celery is fantastic in soups. Or chopped up in other dishes for a good crunch. But standalone? Eeeeeh. Axe the celery, it's the worst in this tray 🪓

Who the fuck actually wants to eat raw cauliflower? Or raw broccoli, for that matter? How about some pea pods or sliced bell peppers or something? Why are broccoli and cauliflower always on these trays?

Cauliflower is magic. It can act as a substitute for nearly anything you can think of. Chicken wings? Try Buffalo cauliflower wings. Pizza? Make the crust out of cauliflower. Rice? Rice that shit. Tater Tots? Cauliflower tots are also bomb.
I've never had cauliflower that didn't immediately turn into a lump of dry, mealy nastiness. How does a vegetable that probably contains some portion of water make your mouth so dry? It's like trying to chew a handful of quinoa after eating a bunch of saltines, but tastes worse than that.

It's the cucumber. Sliced cucumber ages the worst out of all of them, and you can guarantee that thing has been sitting out for several days.

Tomatoes or sliced cucumber.

Normally would rate those much higher than most, but in those sorts of packs, those are the first thing to go. They get gross pretty quick and it's very rare that people bring 100% fresh veggie trays.

I'm amazed cucumber isn't winning (losing?) I'm guessing it's by virtue of its mediocrity and it being tasteless, textureless makes it inofensive but I hate it, it has no point whatsoever in existing in any plate or salad that I know of.

Cucumber.

I'm not saying that cucumber is bad - it's great when freshly sliced. However, in a prepared tray it dries out, fast.

The broccoli and cauliflower in those things are the saddest, because they're always way worse than their equivalents purchased separately.

But the tomatoes are objectively the worst. They don't go with the dip at all, there's no reason for them to be in there.

I love steamed broccoli but I can't stand it raw. I don't think I've ever had raw cauliflower, but that sounds bad too.

it's the fucking tomatoes you clowns. Every other part of the tray is delicious and crunchy, the tomatoes are either unripe and bitter or overripe and soggy, there is no middle - tomatoes in the veggie tray are the worst thing. Give me a big ol beefsteak tomato with a little salt any day, but fuck those little dipshit grape wannabes

I'm gonna lose that little fuckin disgrace for a fruit in the ranch dip, or the ranch is going to slide right off its textureless sphere of a body.

Absolute waste of space ass fruit.

It's celery you heathens.

I was gonna go celery but thinking of it, the brocco is always really bad in these trays. The way it squeaks between your teeth and the leafy bits are like green gravel.

Don't get me wrong, I like all these vegetables normally but these trays bring out the worst aspects of all of them and I feel broccoli takes the hardest hit.

Even though I'm not a fan of cucumbers, I'd say tomato. All those veggies are made for dipping, but no so much with the tomato. The mini tomatoes are there to just burst in your mouth and that's it. They serve zero purpose with that dip unless you're eating them with a fork like a crazy person.

I absolutely hate the taste of cucumber. The taste of it is actually revolting to me.

Gag reflex level with the way it tastes.

I literally can't eat a salad if somebody puts it in it, or if I request it without it and it ends up being in it.

It's one of the few foods I won't eat, and I'll eat almost anything.

Cauliflower, broccoli, and celery all kind of suck raw, though cauliflower is the worst and celery at least has a fresh crunch. All of them are good in various cooked applications, though.

I can't believe people don't like cauliflower and broccoli. That stuff is good with ranch. Now the tomatoes, those I don't like.

I voted cauli, if I could vote broc as well I would. But the whole store bought veg tray is a wack item to bring, if you're pressed for time or budget at least get the meat and cheese tray (dietary preferences aside, of course.)

Oh you know as soon as you go to the bathroom, everyone will talk mad shit about you if you come to Thanksgiving with a veggie tray. It will be the one thing your hippie aunt and MAGA uncle will agree on: You don't deserve to be woken up for pie.

3. 🥕
4. Cauliflower
5. Celery
6. 🥦

Celery. It's fine for a mirepoix or a sofrito or whatever for soup or stews but by its complete shit as a raw vegetable, especially with so many superior veggies on the platter.

I never liked celery. It's kind of tolerable with ranch or whatever dip, but it truly lacks flavor. It's best mixed with other stuff, doesn't stand on it own at all.

Everything else is fine. I actually love cauliflower, it tastes great if you cook it right. It's OK raw too. Broccoli as well. Cucumbers are kind of lame actually, I'd rather eat pickles, which are delicious. Carrots and tomatoes are perfect in every form, even juiced.

It's definitely celery. Texture of dental floss surrounded by crunchy, rancid water.
