For me it is runner beans. I live in France and you can't get classic English runner beans, not even the seeds. The only ones I've seen are grown as an ornamental climber for the flowers at vast expense in a pot in the GC!
Followed by peas, French frozen peas are like bullets and there is nothing like a fresh raw pea straight from the garden.
3rd choice is sweet corn, by the time it gets to the supermarket it's already too old, straight from garden to pan is best, before the starch dries out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Swiss Chard "bright lights" for the vivid colour and great taste - plus you can't really buy it in the shops!
What a lovely question! This is my first year growing vegetables so I'm really not sure yet!

Mini cucumbers, love them.
Peas & white radishes.
scroggin I'll have a look which seeds I have & yes the white ones are more peppery and have a bit of a kick to them.
