    Strangely I like chopping onions!! Always really proud of myself if I can chop it neatly despite the blurry teary eyes!

  30. Eleanor Beavan says

    For some strange reason I love chopping mushrooms, the knife just glides through and they look so good chopped up !

  104. freya knudsen says

    I did a cookery course in thailand and learnt to make carrots into flowers for decoration. So probably them, looked impressive but now only have some cheap knives.

  113. Louise A says

    Wood (seriously I enjoy making kindling..lol) in the kitchen though I love chopping veg especially onions and mushrooms

  125. debbie smith says

    hello fab blog and giveaway i love to chop anything really as long as i’ve a good knife its quite relaxing chopping away at random vedges lol x

  149. Charlotte Hooley says

    Chocolate! I love chopping chocolate up when making chocolate mouse or ganache, it goes everywhere but smells ace!

  187. Kumba says

    carrots? haha not really sure not particularly keen on chopping anything, usually leave that job to the fiance! hehe

  192. Jay Scales says

    Onions! I think I’ve become immune over the years, so they don’t make me cry, and I love to chop them up superfine for curries, or pretty half moons for something like a stir fry 🙂

  222. Jane Willis says

    Carrots – because I allow myself to steal and eat any slice that escapes from the chopping board

  230. Pam Lawrence says

    Onions – I like to chop them properly, and I love how a few carefully-placed slits and chops instantly converts to a huge pile of onion snow!! It reminds me of being at catering college, and Chef poking through them to make sure they’re all proper even little dice, not odd shapes!!!

  238. Hilda Hazel Wright says

    Peppers as I’ve found a new way of doing it and feeling rather pleased with myself as its brilliant!

  256. Beverley Cousins says

    Mine is plunt and i really miss a good sharp chopping knife, it makes life a lot easier.

  257. Lucy Ward says

    Tomatoes – a good knife makes cutting them an absolute breeze, but a bad knife (such as I have at the moment!) just mashes the skin and drags the seeds everywhere!

  267. Kayleigh Watkins says

    I like to chop vegetables on a Sunday for a homemade roast, always chopping mushrooms and onions making casseroles, Bolognese and curries etc, I do get a bit teary though, it all gets a bit much lol xxx

  276. Ellen Sheppard says

    Erm, is it ok to say nothing? I hate chopping, it is such a chore! Maybe easier with these knives though? 🙂

  280. Sandra Lane says

    Usually my fingers as I’m very clumsy but apart from that I like to chop carrots and onions

  322. Gary Topley says

    Vegetables to put in a stew so I can have it on a cold evening to keep me warm. x

  327. Mark Barlow says

    I love to chop carrots, but they don’t always make it into the intended meal! 🙂

  329. Helen Swales says

    Wood for our log burner; it’s a great workout and is cheaper than the gym too!

  333. mel brolly says

    I quite like chopping onions but I need to do it quick and that’s hard with blunt knives

  361. Rachel Ray says

    Carrots because I can do them fast. And mozzarella because I love the way the knife slices through smoothly.

  385. debbie davies says

    carrots – i love to pretend that im a really good chef and do it like they do on the telly but as my knives are so blunt it really is quite dangerous!

  386. Alison Johnson says

    I don’t do the chopping in our house as I’m very accident prone! But Hubby has been coveting a new knife block for a while. He is very good at cooking & is always experimenting with new foods & recipes. His favourite thing to chop are carots which he perfectly batons every time.

  392. Lili Hurst says

    I love chopping white cabbage for my homemade coleslaw. It always slices very nicely and satisyingly!!!

  393. Sam Furniss says

    Great question! I like to chop cucumber, I find it so satisfying if I manage to slice it really thinly.

  395. Linda Thorn says

    It’s got to be salad that I chop, chop, and chop
    So I can have salad to put in my cob
    onions as i chop make my cry
    so my family comfort me as they walk bye,

  403. Steve Weaver says

    Onions, as I love to imagine myself as some professional chef chopping and dicing away quickly and effortlessly as you see them doing on the TV. When in actuality it’s more a case of: eyes watering from the fumes, nicking my finger nails as I get too close, sending the pieces flying all over the place as I hack wildly and then giving up in frustration and going back to cheese on toast!

  409. Amanda Mallows says

    I love chopping mushrooms. I like how the knife glides through them with very little resistance.

  414. stuart hatton says

    i would like to cut large roasts and uncut bread, but you do nee a decent knife for this

  462. Rishona Taylor says

    onions lol I like to see how long it takes before i’m turned into a blubbering wreck lol

  465. Pamela M says

    Would use them mostly for chopping veg. I really need a new set of knives so this would be a great prize for me!

  489. Rachel Edney says

    Apart from the fact that some make me cry, I love the way the root of the onion holds everything together while you chop it, so I’d say onions.

  496. Emily G says

    I love chopping the tougher stuff like fresh swede but with a really sharp knife its so easy

  497. Andy Hayes says

    I love to chop veg for a stir fry …. maily because it means there is a stir fry coming

  499. Laura Baker says

    Chopping mushrooms is quite fun – can’t stand chopping onions though – makes me weep every time!

  503. Amelia Avossa says

    Onions! They always kick up a good joke and i end up crying for some reason with laughter 😛

  530. Lucy Taylor says

    There is something very satisfying about chopping cucumber and fruit to go in a jug of Pimm’s.

  556. Neil Hutchings says

    Onions, when you make the cuts first and then the final cuts result in all those lovely uniform pieces… bad if i cry tho 🙂
