potatoes, beans, more beans, even more beans would be my staples,

fresh peas taste amazing, even if they're a pain to shell,

and i would second squash as a good option - i'm a rubbish gardener and yet have found it pretty easy to grow, and the really dense ones - Anna Schwartz, Crown Prince being the best I've grown - are a revelation in terms of taste.

Also purple sprouting broccoli, although it takes a long time, and a fair number of things seem to like eating it, tastes grrrreat.
