I was force fed those as a child, most disgusting thing ever. They are not allowed in my house. My kids can try them, when they are older and move out!

LOL also a hater of raw kale.
But I actually have a BIG DISLIKE of cooked carrots. Can eat raw ones just fine. But that mushy texture of a fat cooked carrot is just....
If I am going to cook them....i will grate them so they hide in soups or sauces. Thats the only way they can be eaten.

Maca. Tastes like rancid mushrooms and the taste never goes away!0

Haha any eating plan that tells me to eat celery, asparagus, tuna. I skip.0

For me it's avocado. I know it's good for me but I just can't stomach it at all.2

Maybe because I got burnt out on the whole30, but for me it's coconut products. Coconut milk, coconut oil… It all tastes like freaking coconut... which is fine if you want that flavor (I like the flavor in a dessert) but not if you're trying to cook scrambled eggs in it. 7

Both tasted alright to me even as a first timer, I was even impressed with the cooked because it wasn't quite as fragile as spinach so I could do whatever I wanted to it. When raw it tasted like a green, that "chlorophyll" aftertaste which I don't mind. Is that what people are finding unpleasant? What is it about kale that people find so off putting?
I think it is that it's so much less fragile and can be tough. I like it in an omelet or soup, but you have to keep in mind that it will cook down much less than spinach or chard (or turnip greens or many others), and not use to much or you can overdo it and feel like you are choking on it. I've always enjoyed it raw in salads when buying them at a restaurant, but don't eat it raw much at home.
I think the person who said it's better with something high acid is right too. I like it with lemon, and am thinking it would be a delightful substitute for collards (which are great!) in this dish I like with bacon and ACV. Plus, perfect MFP dish, kale, ACV, and bacon. ;-)3 -

I prefer lemon juice as my acid as you stated since I think vinegar is disgusting and go with lots of garlic instead of bacon since I'm a vegetarian. I love kale and liked it before it was the newest superfood.
In fact, the lemon juice/garlic combo is pretty much how I like all my greens.
Except Swiss Chard. I can't stand it. Because it tastes like beets. Which are vile.0 -

Lettuce. Specifically iceberg lettuce, ever since I found part of a beastie in it. I dread to think where the other part of said beastie ended up (now I feel sick).
Onion. Gives my stomach a hard time.1 -

I just bought 2 boxes of Quest bars and literally can not get them down. Not only is the texture horrible they are so dry and heavy I'm afraid I'll choak. And I can eat anything. Can't return them so had to through $50.00 in the trash!1

The only two foods I've ever tried that I didn't really enjoy are creamed corn and beets although I'll still eat them if someone serves them at a dinner. Other than that I've never found a food I didn't like.2
