| Do you use fresh or frozen veg?? We tend to use a combination of both, we only food shop every 2 weeks, so we use fresh veg when we have just been shopping and like tonight for example when were near food shop day we are having frozen veg. xx |

| We use both, for the same reason as Siobhan. I think using frozen is fine I find it really good for ellie as I can just cook a bit to go with whatever she's having. There are some frozen veggies which are shite though (cauliflower). |

| We have frozen pea's and sweetcorn. Sometimes Dave gets the steam bags but I don't like them. Don't know why but they don't taste the same to me |

| bit of both really - we used to live near a good organic grocer so fresh from there was pricey but lovely. i find if you get fresh (ahem 'fresh') from tesco etc it has been in transit for days, kicked around, squished by different people, in lorries etc so it isn't great quality and nutrition-wise it isn't fantastic. the advantage of frozen is it is usually frozen very quickly after being picked and is then more protected in transit - plus you don't lose nutrients by it sitting around for days hmm that was a bit of an essay on a pretty simple question |

| I buy all mine fresh, part cook it then freeze it into mixed portions, then steam it to reheat it, that way I never waste any, it's cheaper than buying frozen and really quick to prepare |

| We use a bit of both too. Mash has to be mash..none of this frozen crap. I hate frozen cabbage and carrots..but anything else i'd do frozen. I steam my veg and they still taste as yummy |

| Mostly frozen. Oh and I hate most veg so only really get peas &sweetcorn. We try and get carrots and some other fresh veg for Immi to try but she seems to have developed our dislike for it too. |

| 90% of the time frozen or tinned (eg peas, sweetcorn). Me and OH dont eat as much veg as we should either and fresh veg has been wasted too often here. I always have tins and frozen mixed veg so that I can quickly micro a small portion to go with Caitlins dinner. If I was doing a sunday dinner/having pie and mash though Id have fresh with it. |
