What vegatables do you absolutely hate and will not eat, maybe not even be willing to pick it out of the food that was prepared.

I pretty much will eat a vegatable if it's prepared and sunk into my meal somehow.

I don't reallly care fro water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots, but I'll eat them.

But my most hated vegetable... Canned peas. WILL NOT EAT.

I love peas, but canned ones????? Yuck!

Oh, I LOVE water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, especially in curries!!!

However, I have always, always disliked fresh onions. I can eat them in cooked food, but otherwise I dislike them. I know, that makes me a little weird.

Overall, I don't have anything against most vegetables... I just don't eat them enough, with my Americanized carb-and-meat-overloaded diet. I don't hate 'em... I just don't love 'em. Ktsp grew up eating tons of vegetables in the Mediterranean, and "not eating vegetables" was simply never an option. He chows down on them like a rabbit, any time he gets the chance. I hope we can instill the same love for veggies in our kids, because I don't want them to eat like I do when they're almost 30!!!

I don't like peas unless they are cooked into something else (soup, stew, etc.). I also can't stand brussels sprouts.. which sucks for Crompsin because they're one of his favorite vegetables. I like most of the other vegetables I have encountered.

My dad eats canned peas religiously. One of his favorite things to eat is canned peas, boiled potatoes, and beef gravy all mixed together. I think it's disgusting. I won't eat canned peas.

However, I'll eat just about every other vegetable in existence. I can't think of a vegetable I don't like. I love Brussels sprouts, I love cabbage, I love beets, etc. Eggplant is bad if it's cooked wrong, but if it's cooked right I like it. I adore lima beans; I have fond childhood memories of eating lima beans in the succotash with my hot lunch in elementary school. I love bamboo shoots sliced thinly in hot and sour soup. Yum.

I am not really selective when it comes to food and I like to try anything new. I don't particularly care for peppers in my food, but I can deal with picking them out if I had to. I don't really like any canned veggies. I prefer them fresh, but live with frozen due to the convenience.

Beets I can deal with, though not my favorite. Borscht, though? YeccchhhH!

Love all the rest with one exception. I can't stand celery. I'll use it to make a soup base, but that's all. Not with chicken wings, not with peanut butter. And don't think about chopping it into my tuna or dicing it into my salad.

And no canned veggies, please.

I love Beets!

Canned beans are disgusting. They are all mushy and pale sickly green. I can stand the aversion to canned peas, the texture is just so mushy. nastyness.

Vegetables are good . Like Abaya says, I chow down on them like a rabbit .
However, there are a few that I don't like. Green peas, and eggplant. I think the eggplant thing is due to some repressed childhood food trauma.. That's too bad because it prevents me from eating a bunch of things like Baba Ganoush.

And yeah. Don't diss radishes!

jorgelito

I love vegetables which is funny cause I am a hardcore meat eater. But maybe I'm just laid back and open minded.

Ooh, yeah, water chestnuts I am not too fond of unless they are finely chopped. But I can't think of any other veggies I don't like.

I've broadened my horizons this year, and absolutely love some stuff that I wouldn't touch before... peppers, broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms, to name a few.

I still can't stand beets, onions, and brussels sprouts, though. Yech.

A lot of vegetables I find are not my favorite until I try them. Like brussel sprouts. They taste like salty chewy green, if that makes sense.

Broccoli is not my favorite unless in a sauce (and then really I prefer the taste of the sauce). Cauliflower is disgusting though a sauce can ameliorate it as well. Beets are unknown to me, but I avoid them like the plague for some reason. Beans aren't my favorite. I dunno what a radish tastes like but I'll try it (I love potatoes?). Never had alfafa sprouts. Peas are kinda gross but if they're mixed with rice and a meat or something I guess they're ok (sweet onions do a lot to help out peas). Water chestnuts aren't the best but there's a place for them in chinese food. I've never even heard of bamboo shoots, and lima beans are awful to the nth degree.

Raw carrots aren't the best but cooked ones are yum~. As far as I know every other veggie is fair game

Charlatan

Growing up I wouldn't eat vegetables... I would only eat peas, corn and potatoes. That was it.

I started eating vegetables in University and now I eat just about everything. The only one I haven't conquored is brussel sprouts. They are just three kinds of foul.

Does coconut count? Also, cooked carrots. A mushy, stringy, too-sweet lump of nasty. And kale, all leathery and bitter.

Any canned vegetable, beets, turnips and kale are about the only ones I won't eat.

I love vegetables...for the most part. I an't stand beets (disgusting) and canned peas!!! I like peas...but they have to be fresh. I can't think of anything else that I don't like...I think anything in a can is sketchy....if you pour the veggies or fruit out of the can there is this erodescent film in the juice....it's nasty. I'm sure it's something that causes cancer...haha...like everything else!

Charlatan

For those who hate beets... have you ever tried roasted beets? They are so much better than boiled and pickled.

jicama.
Granted, I will eat it if hungry and nothing else is available, but I will leave them to the side if given other options. Luckily my husband can't get enough of this crispy white-fleshed root.

I don't really have much of an opinion on beets and some other vegetables because I have honestly only had them a few times that I can remember.

I enjoy many vegetables, but water chestnuts.....

asbolutely.

fucking.

disgusting.

I used to hate brussel sprouts as well because my mom used to only boil or steam them and they were just so nasty bitter.

However, we went to a dinner party once and the hostess prepared brussell sprouts and they were really good. What she did was cut them in to halves and fried them in a bit of butter and olive oil with chopped bacon and onion. No bitterness at all and they were really yummy. We eat them all the time now but only like this.

For beets I am posting an awesome, awesome recipe on another thread. I can not reiterate how awesome this recipe is.

So what you're saying is that Terry Shaivo's parents should have contacted you as a last resort?

And lima beans have always made me gag, regardless of how they're prepared.

I still remind my mom of her failed experiment with "cajun broccoli" in 1987. But I do like the stuff otherwise.
