Favourite Foods
Yeah, because of work I only do veggies once a day (dinner). If I have time and the weather cooperates, I try to do some forages in the afternoon as well.
My pigs HATE cherry tomatoes!
For fruits, Daisy and Maus both enjoy strawberries, mango, grapes (especially), apple, cantaloupe..there aren't very many fruits they don't enjoy. Watermelon and banana they don't really like.
Veggies are romaine lettuce, yellow pepper, celery, broccoli, snap/sugar peas...they don't always eat the veggie part of the cauliflower, sometimes only the leaves. They'll pretty much eat whatever. Haven't tried them with any spices/herbs, though.
Pigs recently have stopped liking red pepper. It gets forgotten in the feeding frenzy.

Bethb I'd ditch the broccoli stems. I'd use it as a very rare treat once a week treat, or leave it out all together.

Cilantro my Robin Piggie loves cilantro. Also green leaf lettuce, and 1 baby carrot per pig a day.

Our foster Cornelius LOVES watermelon rind. He was busy eatting broccoli when I put the watermelon rind in and he quickly ran, grabbed the rind and pulled it into his igloo. He obviosly also likes broccoli :-) he loves apples, cucumbers and he dislikes bananas.
My staples are red leaf, green leaf, green pepper, and cucumber. They love parsley but I don't buy it specifically for the pigs because Jeeves is a stone pig. They aren't really wild about other greens and I hesitate to push the issue with Jeeves' stone-brewing bladder when we're in a routine that is going ok for him. They LOVE bananas and get little bites when I have one. They can smell a peeled banana from across the room and squeal like there has never been anything more exciting in the world.
My pigs love green leaf lettuce, red pepper, and carrots.
Dandelion especially loves tomato, but burr won't touch the stuff.
They are NOT fans of the more bitter greens. Oh! And the both love Dandelion greens!
