You have a friend down the street you need to introduce to vegetables. His fear of irrational fear of broccoli iand all other things green, is only surpassed by his fear of squirrels. :lol:

Baby steps.... baby steps.

Took a while, but I got him to try Indian and Middle Eastern food. I don't want him to get skittish and revert. :lol:

Let's pray that there are no such things as green squirrels.

Only the Irish ones on St. Patrick's day.

Hot, fresh biscuits and honey...pretty much nothing better in the world. Everytime I eat them, I'm transported back to my childhood and my grandmother's kitchen. In my mind I'm 6 years old again.

 

I used to think I hated brussels sprouts. But a couple years ago I tried some fresh brussels sprouts sauteed, then seared and tossed with walnuts and gorgonzola cheese. I like brussels sprouts now.

 

Way back in the day my (then future) wife and I went with one of her roomies to Jamboree, Kentucky. For those of you still in the dark, that's a part of the Phelps greater metropolitan area in Pike County.

 

First morning there a plate of steaming biscuits was served, along with a big bowl of really dark brown unidentifiable stuff. Turns out it was chocolate gravy. Never had had it before, never had it since; but it was evidently a staple in that household.

Liver is repulsive and I can't handle coconut.

Spaghetti and meatloaf

 

 

Your supposed to have spaghetti and meatballs, not meatloaf.

Cheese

Do I have "normal" foods I don't like? Not really.

 

*This next part is specifically for Randy.*

 

I really enjoy just about everything and the simple fact that I have such varied and delicious foods available to me daily makes me exceedingly happy.

 

:laugh:

Not even bean soup, french onion, crab or lobster bisque?

 

No way.

I've seen liver and Brussels sprouts mentioned a few too many times. Nobody eats that nasty stuff any more, and it definitely doesn't qualify as "normal." As I've gotten older I can tolerate Brussels sprouts, but that garbage my mom tried to tell me about "it tastes just like broccoli" was a load of hooey. Broccoli's good; Brussels sprouts not so much. Liver is awful.

 

Olives, on the other hand, are a common addition to pizzas, and they are freakin' disgusting, with a way of making everything they touch taste like olives. Yuk. I honestly feel like I've missed nothing by having never tasted a martini.

Brussel Sprouts......good.

Beef Liver......very good.

Chicken Liver......okay.

Olives......fantastic.

I do not like any green vegetables or any condiments. There are only a couple of vegetables I like. And only a few fruits I like. By the way, my cholesterol, blood pressure and every blood count is normal. I admit my taste buds are weird. I wish they were different, it would make life a little easier.

I have to wonder how regular some of you folks are who eschew vegetables. Once a week? Every 10 days?

Not sure what vegetables have to do with it. Never been a problem. I just do not like vegetables.

Cilantro

 

Yeah right! Cilantro makes Mexican food taste incredible!
