I really did not think there was such a thing, as far as I was concerned , I LOVE ALL FRUITS/VEGTABLES or at least I thought I did . My sweet daughter came up to visit and brought me some Mangos, never had any before, they looked ok, smelled , not like anything else I could remember, and tasted like #@!&*#!??#*. I could not get the taste out of my mouth awful, so My daughter tasted mine just to make sure it was'nt my piece of fruit, and she says "Thats the way they are supposed to taste", OMG, I ate a mouthfull of extra hot horsradish to kill the taste, and it was still there, I tried everything and was ready to try dirt, when my d-in-law handed me a nasty throat lozenger, and that finally worked. Well this really suprised me, cause I AM NOT PICKY and I will eat pretty much anything. So stupid me said, maybe I should give it another chance, so my daughter cut up another one, I took another bite and immediatly ran to the trash can and spit it out, now I gotta get that taste out again, OMG, another very nasty throat lozenger. Never, ever again will I try another piece of mango, or maybe no other "exotic" fruit period, LOL.

Okra does seem to be an unpopular choice I would have to agree with!

Raised by Depression-era parents, who survived the dust bowl, our family table during my growing - up years was always blessed with Mama's wisdom that every garden vegetable tastes good if you've lived knowing the only other option was to go to bed hungry. She praised and appreciated everything our family garden gave us & prepared it with love, even if it was a meal of roots fancied up with her best homemade rolls on the side. I find it so easy to see food through her eyes & example.

I shudder at asparagus!! BBBRRRRR. Love sprouts and most other veggies, but asparagus YIKES
Fruits, I am more a summer fruit eater, like berries(ALL of them), grapes, pineapple, melon, yellow Kiwi,s (not the green ones)etc. Not a fan of apples, only in pies and icecream lol. My mom LOVED apples, she ate them core and all lol

Never have much cared for brusselsprouts either.
They are kind of bitter to me, even with lost of butter.
Lima beans and peas...it's a gritty pasty texture thing, so I swallow them whole, and only if they have been drown in lots of butter and a little salt.
Don't much care for figs
Like mango if it comes out of a can, but then it just tasts like the sweet syrupy metal can
Try passion fruit or papaya. Those are a little sweeter
Red seedless grapes taste like dirt to me
Everything else is pretty much fair game.
And I love, love, love broccoli in all forms, but it gives me such a rip roaring belly ache. I CAN eat it if it's young and cut and steamed right there, but otherwise. Nope  Just can't tolerate it |

Only thing I don't like is papaya. I love everything else =)
I used to not like okra until I grew up and learned how to cook it right, same with eggplant!

Love to death: Tomatoes but I loath tomato juice! (weird)
Also, give me any and all fruits!
Hate: rhubarb, beets, squash and sweet potatoes.
Love now but used to hate: brussel sprouts (learned to cook them with garlic and bacon...yummy!), spinach (daycare tramatized me with the crazy wilted tin canned stuff!) and onions (still can't do raw, but I love the flavor in just about anything.) ~Stacey

This is such a fun thread...so funny to see when someone really doesn't like something the next farmgirl loves it! Mine is eggplant. I will most certainly eat it if you serve it to me at your dinner table, but you won't see me cooking it in my kitchen.
I can still picture that little bowl of eggplant sitting next to my plate that wouldn't let me leave the table until I ate it all. Funny thing is, I can't remember who won that one. Probably my mom since I am not so fond of it now.

Now that IS a taste sensation, Diane!!! How funny! Mom always had canned beets--it took me forever to realize they weren't REALLY that texture (or shape) in real life, and canned, limp, strangely colored asparagus with the packet mix of "hollondaise" sauce. My dad (only to me) said more than once, "your mother should have been a cook at an old folks home! But, it was the 70's and 80's and all that stuff was in your grocery and marketers pushed instant, instant, instant.
Bless her--when I think how quickly it took me to make dinner last night (even with digging for the fingerling potatoes, cutting green beans, picking fresh basil, blanching, peeling and seeding the tomato for the fish sauce)--only took me 40 minutes from garden to plate to put a healthy, wonderful meal down for my husband and I.
I'm trying to think of some others that I hate, but it's difficult. I LOVE food!

I love okra, but I have had all my life and that might make a difference. The same with black eye peas. |

I have to add my two-cents about OKRA! I've tried and tried and tried to eat it...even cooked by friends in Alabama who know how to cook it...still can't do it. I used to hate lima beans, but even those are pretty good with butter and salt. I even got used to "mushy peas" when I lived in England (think canned, boiled peas mashed and mixed with salt and vinegar). But okra...no go!

I guess I was very sheltered as a kid, I have never ate store bought canned veggys or fruit, always fresh or home canned.

It's so funny reading these. Now, I like Okra (if it's cooked well...and there are some BAD cooks of Okra out there!). I also like parsnips--there is this great little restaurant in Louisville that makes "parsnip fries". Like french fries, only parsnips. And they toss em' with a little bit of cajun spice and YUM. Sweet/spicy goodness.
I also think we hate certain vegetables because of the method in which we have been given them. My poor, sweet, well intentioned mother always used frozen or canned veges and wouldn't know what to do with a fresh vege if it bit her (you should SEE her turn down all the green beans and other yummies I grow). I always thought green beans needed to be boiled to death, to the point that they're just mush, but now I know differently :) My mother always hated brussel sprouts until she had them at the restaurant my husband works at...when prepared appropriately, they're the best thing ever.
