    I guess this is unpopular...but I make rice all the time in various forms.

    I like plain basmati rice with a spicy Thai or Indian dish.
    I like a seasoned wild rice with grilled fish.
    I like a Japanese-style fried rice with chicken as a nice lunch.
    I like Mexican-style rice and beans with my tacos.
    I like risotto as a side dish with just about anything!

    Yes. Plain rice is something I'd not eat if other food were available or unless it was the only thing I could get down because of illness, and I usually tend to have a smaller rice portion so as not to waste calories on the least interesting bit of the dish, but there are definitely dishes/meals where the rice adds something as part of a combination.

    Greens are great! Collard, Mustard, Turnip, Rutabaga, Kale...oh and let's not forget their roots too. "A sip of pot liquor is the cure for what ails you".

    Don't forget brussel sprouts. - I love them, even did as kid. Most others in my life seem to hate them and I just don't know why.

    it is all about preparation! I think most kids have soggy, frozen brussels which is a bad impression

    I think that marketing those Quaker chewy bars and Nutrigrain bars, etc. as "health" foods should be a crime.

    so agreed! that goes for most of protein 'healthy' bars on the market too (it's as if slapping the word 'protein' on something makes the rest of the crap ingredients not matter...)

    My husband calls it a f---ing roadside weed that a badger or dog probably pissed on. And a few other choice remarks.

    my husband calls it the brillo pad for the GI tract

    Personally, I think Cool Whip tastes awful, and has a revolting texture. Usually, it ruins any recipe it's added to, too, for me; there's an occasional recipe exception.

    I get that others really like it, but I've never understood why. (I was 11 years old when it was introduced. It was immediately and immensely popular. Part of the reason was convenience, but a lot of people liked it. Originally, in my social set, people would still make actual whipped cream for holidays and special occasions as a topping, using Cool Whip in the more routine cases. Gradually, it replaced whipped cream on special occasions, too.)

    I did as a kid but not now at all. I prefer thick home made coconut whipped if any.
