Which Ditch Bridge Troll Doesn't Want This
Never been big on squash. Like whenever there is a squash casserole at Thanksgiving I either skip it or take the smallest spoonful.
Zucchini is great, though. Yummy on its own, roasted, or you can make boats, or you can spiralize that shit and have zucchini noodles.
Zucchini is also great in a baked pasta dish. We had one last night with zucchini, onions, red peppers, and spinach (and ground turkey and pepperoni and mozzarella, but those aren’t relevant to this discussion). One of my favorite ways to get a bunch of vegetables in a meal.
I also love yellow squash and zucchini seasoned and sautéed up together as a side.

i love yellow/summer squash and zucchini can be good. i'm not a big butternut guy though. butternut squash is part of a rare category of foods that sometimes i'm fine with but sometimes make me feel slightly nauseous:
1. butternut squash 2. baked salmon (raw or smoked salmon is fine) 3. baked sweet potato (mashed / fries are fine)
Carrots are kinda boring to me these days and they don't really play well with others. Carrots and lettuce excite me the least out of everything here.
i've actually only recently come around on carrots. they are a cool veg, the most naturally sweet of this list i think. so i get more excited about them than i used to, but also agree with you they don't have as much utility as many of the other veggies on this list.

Carrots are one of the few vegetables I like raw. We get the little bitty petite carrots, and I eat them as a side with sandwiches or wraps. And we always have them when we do chicken wings.
I also love them cooked up with honey and brown sugar.

Yeah, I think lettuce is getting overlooked, here. It can be a good compliment to other things or as part of a salad, but unlike everything else on the list, you're rarely just going to eat a bunch of lettuce.

Yeah lettuce is just like salads and a burger/sandwich topping. It can go whenever.
Salads and burgers and BLTs and many other things that include lettuce are pretty essential and popular, and lettuce is essential to them. There are plenty of vegetables that don't meet even that standard on here, and that also aren't so great on their own that they're more important or better than lettuce.

I'm not mad at any of this. I'm not a huge desert guy though, and the honey / brown sugar style you mentioned is close to how I'm usually seeing carrots these days. And it feels like a desert intruding in the middle of my main meal. And I'm sure thats great for most people. But if I'm really running through a big meal with a bunch of sides and shit... I have to take a little pause before approaching the carrots. They aren't very "crushable" to me. Given that I eat all my meals in about 45 seconds, thats an important variable.

Name names. I don't see anything worse than lettuce on its own. Lettuce is a good vehicle and I do appreciate how it adds a refreshing, watery pop to any sandwich, but these days I'm feeling like the tomato can take care of that role on it's own.
Zucchini is great, though. Yummy on its own, roasted, or you can make boats, or you can spiralize that shit and have zucchini noodles.
Zucchini is also great in a baked pasta dish. We had one last night with zucchini, onions, red peppers, and spinach (and ground turkey and pepperoni and mozzarella, but those aren’t relevant to this discussion). One of my favorite ways to get a bunch of vegetables in a meal.

I've already said cauliflower a million times lol. I don't care that it's a flavor sponge. Get your own flavor.
You said there are plenty. Cauli has way more flavor than lettuce though.
Not really.
I'd also say that eggplant isn't super essential, though I like it. Don't think squash is that essential to many dishes. Green beans are basically the same tier as peas and we already got rid of those.

oh wait I misread and thought you were originally saying the taste on its own. Lettuce is definitely essential and versatile.

got a recipe for that bad boy?
Not really. My husband made it just throwing stuff together.
He browned a pound of ground turkey; cut the pepperoni into strips; and diced up a yellow onion, a red pepper, a couple of zucchini (bigger chop on those than the other vegetables), and a couple handfuls of baby spinach. Sautéed the vegetables in some olive oil and minced garlic (we use the jars of preminced garlic because we are lazy).
Mixed all of it together with some tri-color rotini (I usually cook the pasta first, but he threw it in uncooked and it worked fine), a jar of marinara, and a little more than a bag of Sargento mozzarella. Put that into a baking dish. Melted a half stick of butter, mixed that with some panko breadcrumbs, and topped the whole thing with that, plus sprinkled a little asiago on top. Salt and pepper was added at various steps along the way, but I don’t think he used other seasonings. Baked it on 350 for 40 minutes or so.
Lettuce isn’t even the best leafy veg for a salad. Spinach or (not appearing in this Survivor) kale are better.
changed my answer from eggplant to lettuce bc you’re absolutely right. it’s 99% water anyway!!!
Yeah lettuce doesn't really offer the most in terms of nutritional value so I don't really get the whole argument of it being essential or important or whatever.

pretty sure I can just leave the noodles out of that and have an easy keto dinner, thanks!
