Burro, I am STILL laughing at your posts! THANK YOU!!!! and those little green smelly balls of pure evil are one of the most revolting items on the planet...followed closely behind by cauliflower, broccoli, gym socks, litter boxes, halitosis, arm pit odor, schweddy-you-know-whats, and other inglorious scents. Keep up the good work, Burro!0

I totally understand the vegetable-you-just-can't-eat thing, mine is eggplant. Try as I might, it just tastes bitter to me no matter how it's cooked or what it's in. I keep trying if there's something I haven't had, because I like to think I could be discovering my next favorite food that way (it's happened before), but, yeah......no. I still havent found an eggplant dish I like, lol.
Having said that...
I used to h a t e Brussels sprouts, because I'd never had them prepared any other way but boiled or steamed to within an inch of their lives, and forcing myself to eat those lukewarm, greyish-greenish (seriously, what color IS THAT when you overcook vegetables), waterlogged, mushy, tasteless things was beyond gross. Then one day out of curiosity, because my table mate was raving about how delicious it was, I had a bite of a salad made with sauteed, well-caramelized sprouts that had been cooked with a little proscuitto, and mercy, I couldn't believe how good it was. And it wasn't the proscuitto that did it, either (altho I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, lol), it was the method of cooking. Sauteeing to caramelization brings out a sweetness and a richness of flavor that is completely missing from boiled or steamed sprouts. I now make this dish all the time during Brussels sprouts season, adding different vegetables and meats sometimes (like Italian turkey sausage and multi-colored bell pepper slices), and serve it by itself as a main dish. Even the sprouts alone sauteed with red pepper flakes are delicious, imo. If you ever get a chance, try a bite of it, who knows.0 -
3-4 Days?0

We had "brussels sprouts" a few days ago. But it's not as often since the kids were born.0

I feel like anyone who says they dn't like them and haven't eaten them in years and years wasn't eating them correctly.
I hated them growing up because they were those boiled kind. Now that i'm a chef I can name 101 better ways to eat them.
I had them roasted with Egyptian spices for dinner tonight.0 -

When I was in high school I had a biology teacher who said that there was a gene where some people just can't detect bitter flavors. (I am an old, so at the time the discussion was about the soft drink "Tab," which for you young'uns out there was a very early diet soda that had a weird aftertaste).
This documentary explains how "super tasters" tongues are more sensitive to taste than others and helps explain some peoples aversions to foods that others think are normal... Its quite interesting watch:
