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.

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

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!

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 |

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

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.
