what is a veggie that you don't like? (G)

I eat nothing I dislike. Why would I?

Apart from avocado, which I hate and don't go anywhere near, I like most other veggies a lot and like to have lot's of mixed veg dishes.

Have you ever had a whole coconut where you can drink the juice? or what about where you eat the white inside? I like coconut but not coconut candies.

Growing up, there were only two things I didn't like...raw onions and Brussels sprouts, which my mom tried to force upon me almost every. single. day. Hubby and I trade the cucumbers and sliced onions when we're served side salads prepared with them.

About 10-12 years ago, we went out to eat at a place that serves small plates. Their best-seller was the Brussels sprouts. I figured, there must be a reason for that, so I decided to give them a try...they were wonderful! Since then, I've made salads out of them (raw) and roasted them. I gave them a try when a restaurant offered them up, deep-fried, as an appetizer.

I guess, my palate matured. I'm gaining an appreciation for Brussels sprouts, but I still don't like raw onions...though I don't have a cow if a slice finds its way on a burger or sandwich.

Lima beans, they're just too big.

Brussel sprouts.... peas... lentils..

I can be okay with even the ones I don't like if they are hidden really well or smothered in a sauce that takes over their flavors, but I still tend to avoid them, and I will not cook with them... but I won't fully avoid them if they happen to be in something else I'm willing to try. For example, Shepard's pie.. many recipes have peas in it, and I'll still eat it because I like everything else lol

I don't like raw celery but love my home made celery soup, and like it to add flavour to vegetable dishes.

I am also not keen on cooked spinach. It's too mushy. I eat lots of raw spinach though.

A salad without cucumber? Get serious.


Beets? Perhaps one of nature's errors.

my dad looooooo loved beets. Not me, I wanna gag. But I love cucumber, I can eat that junk raw all day.

It's funny you mention mushrooms. Growing up, one of my favorite soups was Campbell's Cream of Mushroom. Now, I dislike it. I don't know whether they changed the recipe or my palate matured. I do enjoy the Cream of Mushroom Soup prepared at The French Kitchen here and often buy a frozen quart. Hubby doesn't like mushrooms, so it's all mine! LOL
