even if you don’t like asparagus you gotta admit it’s neat that it makes your pee pungent. how many other foods can do that?
It's like cilantro in that not everyone gets that effect. Same goes with burping and cucumbers that aren't bred burpless. Yes, this is a thing except cucumbers are fruits whereas asparagus is a vegetable.

Asparagus is top 5. Routinely choose it as a side at restaurants. It's the only thing here along with brussels and mushrooms where I feel like I am in for a real treat when I order it.
Thought about bell peppers because the raw version is so boring and so common. It's weird its simultaneously boring but absolutely not a non-factor. It manages to spread its boredom across the rest of the plate / dish. Thinking of pizza and salads first here. But the cooked version is bangin.
So peas are good to go. Celery is also a bottom feeder. It does provide a refreshing burst to some seafood salads / chicken salads and I'm thinking black eyed peas don't really count.
Peas? Really? That's so fucking weak. I'll bet many of you have invented "texture issues" with other foods too. Oh but I'm going to eat me some fruit rollups!
Peas aren't just green peas. He didn't say "green peas." Green peas are fucking awesome. Petit Pois are the best, but I'll do English ones if they're shelled. You couldn't have shit like Chicken Clemenceau or Pasta Carbonara without peas. You couldn't have peas and carrots. You can't even have fucking microgreens since they are pea shoots. WTF. This is dumb.
Also forget about sugar snap peas in your stir-fry.
But here's the thing. Lots of what we call peas are actually beans - except when they're dried out. They are still a bean seed thing but I'll leave them for the beans discussion.
Also I don't care what anyone thinks about celery. But if you don't cook with it, might as well continue to enjoy that baloney and ketchup sandwich or that pepperoni only pizza.

Bell peppers are also part of the holy trinity and critical for seasoning your food properly. I don't really care about them raw. I'll eat a few of them. Pizzas without them are more boring. Also stuffed bell peppers are one of the greatest dishes ever. I'm not talking about shitty ground meat and cheese. I'm talking real [tm] stuffing with shrimp and breadcrumbs. Critical.

Some good points here. I think I'll switch to celery. I like everything on the list, but we have to take out something and peas are generally low impact.

Bell peppers are a great container for that other awesome food in that dish, I agree. Pizzas without them are so much better holy shit.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that many of these are actually fruits.
I got trashed for that earlier in the year and am likely the only motherfucker here that ever took a 300 level college course called Vegetables 301. I get where people lump cooking ingredients into "vegetables" and sweet things as fruits. But vegetables by nature are vegetative where a plant or part of a plant used as food. Unless I'm off,
Tomatoes - Fruit Onions - Root but aka a bulb vegetable Corn - Fruit Squash - Fruit Potatoes - Tuber Broccoli - I think a cruciferous vegetable but it's technically a Flower Bud Eggplant - Berry or possibly a fruit Spinach - Vegetable Lettuce - Vegetable Cauliflower - See Broccoli Cabbage - Vegetable Mushrooms - Fungi Carrots - Root Vegetable Celery - Vegetable Bell Peppers - Fruit Cucumbers - Fruit Brussels Sprouts - Vegetable Peas - Fruit Green Beans - Fruit Asparagus - Vegetable
So this survivor isn't really that much of a vegetable survivor. It's what Americans consider to be vegetables. The caveat on that is Americans are fucking dumb - not so much relative to botanical classifications, just dumb in general.
I went into reading about it once, and as Americans do, we created different definitions and classifications for things using the same words. I was refreshing my knowledge to say something about tomatoes today, and the most common reference I saw was that tomatoes are a fruit in a botanical sense due to it fitting the definition but a vegetable in a culinary/commercial sense due to how it is used. The US Supreme Court actually ruled on it in 1893 in Nix v. Hedden because that was apparently a big deal at some point.

I'm kind of there with you except I don't like cauliflower in any form (including processed into pizza crust). I'm going to give them a look. It's hard to rank without some type of caveat as whether they are an ingredient, a seasoning or a main side dish. I could change from day to day, but it's today. So I'm going to rank them:

peppers are in the trinity they can't go.
Finding out the trinity is boring . 2 of the 3 elements have been called out for being boring.

The brussels that you ordered for us at that bar in NOLA were absolutely among the best 20-30 appetizers I've ever had. There are only one or two others on this list that could be the base food for a dish of that quality. Granted they were seasoned into oblivion, but still. I value something being the actually star of the show more than being the supporting cast.
Meat, potatoes, peas. That's a meal. And we know who the stars of the holy trinity and mire poix are. It's not celery.
Celery is a key ingredient for both vegetable seasoning bases. One overlooked fact is that how good would a bloody mary be without celery salt? Not sure how many people have had celeriac. But it's the root of the celery plant and can be eaten raw or cooked.

I voted peas simply bc I've never had something that I felt peas made the dish/drink. Looking down the list, I can think of that for pretty much every other thing on the list.

do we not have any Italians on the board to call this out?

They aren't essential components, but unless someone is cooking it themselves, they probably got peas with their pasta. They don't typically use a lot of them.
