What is the meaning of this, you ask? Veggies and Fruits are friends, not foes, right?
WRONG! In the grand tradition of NCAA basketball and Jezebel, I bring to you a brand new bracket. A fight for glory. Veggies vs. Fruits.
The winner takes all!
Throughout the month I want you guys to vote each day, for each round. At the end of the month, we’ll be left with one final question: Veg or Fruit?
Are you ready?
Today’s match is a double header, to start things off right.
For our veggies, I give you:
Asparagus vs. Green Beans
In the fruit fight (say that fast):
Mango vs. Pineapple
In case the suspense is killing you, here is the entire bracket, something to look forward to! Click to enlarge!
Alright, there you have it! Welcome to food month. Sit, stay awhile, and place your votes for round one!

I love this month's theme! I'm gonna say- green beans wins for me and I'm not so sure about the fruit…. not a big fan of either. Tie? 🙂
you are funny, wonderful idea 🙂
Asparagus (a personal favorite) for veggies but it was a toss up, Mango for fruit
LOVE this theme!
For veggies Im going to go with Asparagus. And fruit. Man this is tough! I love both, but I think I will go with pineapple!
I never eat veggies or fruits… Im really bad!

This is so fun! I'm gonna go with asparagus and Mango!!
I love this them! That bracket cracked me up!
Veggies basically hands down asparagus for me. I just had some about 30 minutes ago for dinner. Fruit I also have a hands down pineapple vote. I actually actively dislike mango. I love the scent but hate the actual taste. Randomly I like dried mango quite a bit. Just not fresh mango
This is hilarious. I could eat asparagus all day long. Mango vs. pineapple is a tough one.. but if I had to choose, I'd say pineapple!
Asparagus and Pineaple!
Love this theme! Excited to see what wins!
I'm not sure I can choose! Man oh man. Green beans and mango.. I suppose.
Going to the walk tomorrow morning? I can't decide. Depends on how baby sleeps, I think!
Most definitely asparagus. The fruit was tough but I'm going pineapple!
I'm excited for all your foodie posts!
Ooo, I love it! When veggies and fruits don't play nice . . . .
I love asparagus, but I eat green beans more, plus I can grow them in my garden. So my vote goes to green beans and pineapple.
My vote is asparagus and mangoes! Yum!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! Your blog is great, and I can't wait to catch up on some of your older posts!
I vote for asparagus and pinapple. But I still love my green beans! : )

Green Beans win for me! And on mango or pineapple, I'd have to say pineapple fresh and juiced, but I do love me some dried mango!
BEST IDEA EV>ER. !!!
Only problem is that I'll have a tough time with the veggies I just know it.
Ok…round 1:
Asparagus & Pineapple 🙂
thanks so much for the blog visit! your photography looks great! i love the flower ones especially :). looking forward to your posts too!
how fun!!
this was a toughy, but I have to go with my childhood fave on the veggie front.
GREEEN BEANS!
and for the fruits, Mango. fa sho. 🙂 Mango is my fave, fave, favorite!
Oh my gosh! What a great idea! Hmm. I actually love all for our these foods! But I think I would go with
Green Beans for veggies and pineapple for fruit. 🙂

Great idea meres. I'm goin for green beans and pineapple although I love asparagus! Been on a green bean kick for several months and I think they have both vitamins and fiber going for them in extra quantities. Correct me if I'm wrong. Veggies over fruit for me most days except for my blueberries every morning in massive amounts.
I'm a veggie girl all the way. I like them any way too. Raw, steamed, fried, sauteed. I probably go through a pound of fresh spinach every week. YUM.
Hugs!

CUTE IDEA!!
Pineapple and green beans 🙂
So cute. Love the brackets.
My vote: asparagus and mango.
But very tough to decide!
I'd have to say green beans and pineapple (but I adore asparagus)
Ha! I LOVE this idea! So cute…
As for my vote – Green Beans and Mango are my choices! Let the battles begin!
Such a cute idea! I'm going for asparagus and pineapple!
Asparagus and Mango! I could eat a mango all day. One problem I have, Meri, is how to tell a good mango from a bad one in the produce section. Do you have any tips? Currently, it's a complete hit-or-miss situation for me. Color, firmness and smell have all decieved me on one occasion or another.
Also, this seems like a safe place to talk about asparagus pee. What's up with that scent?
asparagus and pineapple!!!
not a fan of asparagus but I loathe beans!
Asparagus and mango!
Thanks for all of the nice feedback guys! I'm very excited about this month too. I actually read on another blog that it's national nutrition month, as well, so very fitting!
Myche- of the different ways to choose a mango, I've heard the three you mentioned and usually firmness is my best bet. I avoid ones that look like they've been handled a lot, with the bruises, but I'm usually too impatient to wait for them to ripen on their own. I've had pretty good luck so far with them though.
As for pineapple, I still don't know a better way to tell ripeness than smelling them.
And asparagus pee? Well, I've heard only people with a certain gene have asparagus pee. I have it, it always surprises me though because I guess I don't eat asparagus frequently enough to remember. I get coffee pee too. TMI? eh, deal with it.
how adorable!! i like the pear <3 he's cute!!
Haha! This is a great idea. I love that you made a bracket to find an ultimate winner. I totally over-thought this and was trying to figure out which one I ate more of or cooked more with. Then I simply decided I should just answer it based on which one I LIKE more. I eat both in both categories, so I'm going to go with Asparagus (though I eat green beens more, simply because poorly cooked asparagus is gross and I've never learned, so I just eat them when someone else makes them).
And Mango wins for me.
And BTW the way to tell if a pineapple is ripe is to pull one of the leaves from the centre. If it comes easily, it's ripe. Never failed me yet.
This is such a cute idea! I can't wait to see which fruit/veg wins. I choose asparagus & pineapple.
Haha this is such a cute idea! My picks are asparagus and mango. I like pineapple, but the existence of pineapple on pizza brought it down a notch 😉
ASPARAGUS AND MANGO!
Asparagus and Pineapple!
What a cute idea! 🙂 And these are hard ones to pick…I love each veggie/fruit equally! Yikes! Ummmm…
I will go with asparagus and pineapple!
I will go for asparagus and mango
My vote is aspargus and mango! By the way thanks for visiting!:)

Again, I'm late on this but I don't care that my opinion doesn't matter in the bracket sense ;). I have no strong feelings about mango vs. pineapple…but I HATE HATE HATE green beans and I LOVE LOVE LOVE asparagus!!!
