Top 5 Vegetables Starting With the Letter "C"
This is a list of vegetables in the culinary sense.
1. Celery
2. Carrot
3. Cucumber
4. Cabbage
5. Chickpea
I have Celery as #1 because it is good with Peanut Butter. Cabbage is just ahead of the Chickpea because I like Coleslaw better than hummus.

Chickpeas are legumes, but that's beside the point.
Chard
Cilantro (yeah, it's an herb, but if we're allowed to use legumes...)
Corn (yeah, it's a grain/grass, but see above...)
Carrot
Coffee (shhhh)

Note that Tim's list was qualified with the phrase 'in a culinary sense'. In that context, chickpeas are a vegetable. Not unlike the tomato, which for culinary purposes is a vegetable... but scientifically is a fruit.
EDIT: Cilantro won't cut it, but corn is a culinary vegetable.

Matt, you are mostly correct. According to Wiki, corn is a cereal and not a culinary vegetable. Otherwise, it would have been in my list.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_corn_a_grain_or_a_vegetable
Corn seed is actually a vegetable, a grain, and a fruit.
Corn seed is a vegetable because it is harvested for eating. (Usually sweet corn when grain is harvested at the milk stage.)
Corn seed is a grain because it is a dry seed of a grass species. (Usually field corn when harvested after the grain is relatively dry.)
Corn seed is a fruit because that is the botanical definition.
More details follow.
Corn (Zea mays) is sometimes called a vegetable grain. Corn is a monocotyledon with only one seed leaf like grasses. The easily identified "grains" (or cereal plants/grasses) such as wheat, oats, and barley are also monocots. A grain is defined as the harvested dry seeds or fruit of a cereal grass, or the term can refer to the cereal grasses collectively.
Field corn that is harvested when the seeds are dry would thus be considered a grain. Sweet corn when harvested before maturity is usually considered a vegetable. It is grown to be eaten fresh as a tender vegetable rather than as a dried grain suitable for grinding into flour or meal. A vegetable is defined as a plant cultivated for an edible part or parts such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, or seeds/fruit.
If you want to be very precise, all cereal grains could be called vegetables, but by convention we separate the cereal grains from the rest of the "vegetables" such as peas, lettuce, potatoes, cabbage, etc.

I thought corn was a steel since it's intact coming out.

Re: Top 5 Vegetables Starting With the Letter "C"
In Tennessee, corn is a national treasure, especially if you have ever heard 'Rocky Top'.
It's an animal, vegetable, and a mineral. It's breakfast, lunch and dinner. More importantly, given 120 minutes of distillation, one could re-tie this thread into the beer and spirits thread.
And then we could stop with the 5 favorite threads for awhile.
