Fenugreek leaves are used as a vegetable sometimes but they have much, much lower concentrations of phytoestrogens than the seeds.
Fenugreek can be both a spice and the dish which is seasoned with other spices. Here is one:

When I Googled it I found more recipes than I could count with fenugreek seeds as the main part. The above link has 5,740 ratings. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen such a popular recipe. Average is 5 stars. It has 1 tbsp. fenugreek seeds per serving. The lunch they suggest has 4 dishes including this one for around 10,000 mg fenugreek (whole seed not extract), 9,000 mg dry spices and a very large amount of fresh herbs. In India this is just called food.
