Vanessa45's thread about peelers had me thinking how years ago I used to peel pretty much everything (standard learned response from mother and society) but nowadays peel pretty much nothing - just a scrub instead. I peel potatoes if I'm doing mash. I peel onions and prefer to peel garlic.
What do others do and think?

I'm still a peeler, unless it's baked or microwaved whole potato or kumera, pumpkin doesn't get peeled unless mashed. Carrots, parsnips, also get a peeling from me. I think it's imbedded in my brain to do just as my Mother did! Dad grew all our vegetables and there was a good healthy imput of cow patties added to the soil, hence my mother would never have not peeled veges!

Im with you J1, I dont peel much mainly out of laziness and also figure there is nutrition in the skin (hopefully)
I never peel pumpkin/squash or cucumber ( I eat the seeds too) and only occasionally peel carrots.
Onions and potatoes would be the only things that get peeled.
I used to date someone who peeled mushrooms - the madness! He also didn't like Parmesan cheese - clearly not a relationship that was ever going to work.

Not anymore, Irene - I used to though. It's one of those things I do because my mother always did it. Now, when I eat broccoli that hasn't been peeled I notice the skin and don't particularly like it. That doesn't stop me from eating unpeeled broccoli though.
About the only other things that get peeled are potatoes (depending on what I'm doing with them) and beetroot.
