Which vegetable you just hate no matter what?

“Great Question” (5

)

What vegetable is on your “I hate” list? Me it is mostly leafy green ones like spinach, collard greens, and such, makes me feel as if I was some cow of horse grazing in a field. But okra, squash, black eyed peas, and such are not much better. If there is a good vegetable it would have to be the potato which I love or corn, carrots are good too if steamed right. Some hated a certain vegetable when they were young but now love it. Had you made peace with any of your “I hate” list vegatables?

Okra. We grew it in our garden when I was a child. I hated picking it off the plant. I hated washing it. I hated cutting it. I hated dredging it in cornmeal. I hated frying it.

And more than anything, I hated eating it, and still do.

Over the years I’ve grown to really like vegetables, but I’m not very fond of cauliflower, peas, celery or carrots. I absolute loathe sauerkraut which I believe is made from cabbage.

I pan fry asparagus, squash, zucchini, peppers and broccoli all the time.
I also really like artichoke.

Fuckin’ cauliflower. Those abstinence only folks in middle school made me swear it off forever.

@hawaii_jake & @Hypocrisy_Central I don’t like Okra either.

Man, I love okra. I find it interesting. :) But another vegetable I don’t like is a raw tomato. Tomatoes are excellent and go well in many different foods, but to just bite into a raw tomato like my dad does? Gross. Don’t like that flavor at all.

Also, I don’t particularly “hate” spinach or those leafy-green ones, I just find them boring as all get out. I’ll still eat them for the health factor, though. Brussels sprouts are also just as bad as most cartoons made them seem.

I love fresh veggies, but canned. Nasty. I love fresh spinach. I absolutely hate canned spinach, and it reeks.

I was going to say jalapeño, but I just found out it is a fruit.

In that case I’ll go with artichoke. Not that I don’t like them, really, but they are just too much trouble to eat.

@jjmah You’ll have to try it and report back. I like it in gumbo or if it is battered and fried, but when it is just steamed, it’s very slimy. Ick.

Onions! They are the devil in veggie form. I absolutely hate them. I hate the smell, the taste, the crunch… ugh, I’m gagging just thinking about it. There’s not much I hate in this world more than onions.
I also dislike Brussels sprouts, raw carrots (though I love steamed or stewed carrots), cauliflower, and steamed spinach (but I like fresh spinach leaves in salads).

Beets and gobs of cooked spinache. Blech!

I love raw spinache salad and spinache (sp) dip, spinache quiche, spinache in soups, but not just a pile of slimey cooked spinache. lol

Beets are just nasty, maybe raw, but pickled, or in anything else…yuck!

Other than these two I love all my veggies!

Celery & those crunchy bean sprouts (that are always in my damn pad thai)... I feel like every kid hates brussel sprouts and I suddenly started to love them a few years ago. I was eating brussel sprout everything. Someone suggested that Whole Foods made an amazing prepared dish with these lil green suckers so naturally, I ran to WF and got it. I got soooo sick, I haven’t touched a brussel sprout since :(

MoxieGal (361

@MoxieGal @wundayatta The texture of eggplant is a big part of why I don’t like it. I had this szechuan tofu dish that had eggplant in it. The eggplant was just this gooey gross crap that I just ending up picking out. Who would want that? It has no redeeming qualities. :) Peppers and tomatoes are much better Solanum fruit.

eggplant ‘giggle’. You guys have a strange name for the Aubergine.

Die Aubergine sounds better. I hate eggs, so I why would I want it in fruit form? lol

DominicX (28808

@DominicX – for me it’s the smell of it while it’s cooking (and the taste). I have to leave the room.

@ragingloli – “A rose by another other name.. would still stink!” LOL

Actually, I’d rather call it Aubergine. :)

There is only one vegetable I cannot bear and that’s Okra. Nasty slimy stuff. I’m not keen on peas either, but I’ll eat them if they’re on my plate. Everyhing else, I love, Even brussels sprouts.

peppers, not so much or eggplant peppers give me heartburn, the mayor next door makes some awesome eggplant parm.
I dont love green beans. That’s probably the worst.

I love okra, beets, brussel sprouts, bean sprouts, limas, peas, red cabbage. garbanzos.

@jjmah you can do okra, by boiling adding, salt, butter and hot sauce.

I never would have figured people hate onions almost as much as okra and even with cauliflower and more than beets and Brussels sprouts. Onions make a whole lot of things taste better, I am with @NaturallyMe how can anyone hate onions? The count seems to be:

Okra 6
Onions & cauliflower 5
Celery & eggplant 4
Lima beans, peas, Brussels sprouts, and beets 3 Who would have thought them worse than spinach?

I have to be almost totally with @mowens all vegetables are the top of evil. However, there are those one can accept like onions, potatoes God gift of vegetables, corn, carrots if steamed, and yams or sweet potatoes.

But it can most universally be seen that canned veggies are not as good as fresh, taste or condition wise better get out your cash for the Farmer’s Market.

Lesson learned? Dump the rabbit food and go for a big juice burger with cheese, mayo, and grilled onions only.

I dig spinach as an ingredient in other things, or uncooked as a salad, but I hate the feeling of eating a plateful of boiled leaves. Yuck.
