Have you tried something simpler, like tomatoes?
I have to weed them out of my compost pile because they grow so fast and heavy they eventually collapse on themselves. In my small, Paris garden I've managed to grow tomatoes, sweet peppers, and potatoes.
Not enough to be sustainable but it does create interesting conversation when friends are over and they see me reach out the window and grab a few veggies for the salad.

Until food becomes a lot more expensive, most people probably won't take up growing it. (Not disagreeing that the tomatoes aren't better and it wouldn't be all around the healthy thing to do...)
