How about this using the shell select internal

Code:
listofitems="beans rice carrots radishes rutabaga spinach"
MU=( $listofitems Quit )

while true
do
    echo "Please enter the veg you like from"
    select opt in "${MU[@]}"
    do

        if [ "$opt" != "" ]
        then
            echo "You selected $opt"
            break 3
        fi
        # Check REPLY against the array:
        for opt in ${MU[@]}
        do
           if [ $REPLY = "$opt" ]
           then
               echo "You selected $opt"
               break 3
           fi
        done
        echo "Illegal selection"
        break
    done
done
