The Salvation Cafe in Newport, RI served deep fried spinach.
They dropped a bunch in the fryer and it would come out extremely crispy, then they would put some sea salt on it and serve.
Man was it good!

Interesting. I have a recipe where you mix chopped spinach with some flour and milk and cheese (salt to taste) and make a sticky mess. Then you use a tablespoon to drop it in a deep fryer. And cook thoroughly. Remains one of my favorite meals.

That sounds a lot like spinach pakoras, which would use spiced chickpea powder. My goodness, those are good.

Ooh potatoes, obviously. Mushrooms, leeks, sweetcorn... Plus it's clearly salad.

Potatoes don’t count. Mushrooms are decidedly not vegetables, they’re fungi. Leeks are good. Corn is good. But spinach is the best.

They can be really awful sometimes, though. They need to be done right.

Why not?!

They're a starch. That's not to say they don't have good nutritional value, but even your own government doesn't consider potatoes a vegetable:

"Potatoes are botanically classified as a vegetable, but they are classified nutritionally as a starchy food," says a DoH spokesperson. "This is because when eaten as part of a meal, they are generally used in place of other starchy carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta or rice."

Waffles are a vegetable, right?

Waffles are fruit, they grow on the tree's here in Belgium

The last oranges from our tree this season. We have had fresh juice by the litre for the last few months. Sometime in February the next batch starts ripening up nicely.
