I really wish I was. Literally.
Except the definition of literally changed last month so it now means both literally and the complete opposite of literally.
It made me die inside.
Tell me you're joking. Literally tell me you're joking.

Roast veggies. And if you truly hate them, then puree the roasted veggies and mix the puree into soup, or pasta sauce, or even chocolate cake.
Think of the ways you would work veggies into a kid's diet if they were picky eaters. Then use those same techniques on yourself!
There's a cookbook out there that I just found via google, called "Deceptively Delicious". Might help. Might not. Maybe worth a look!0 -
Try em' fried and breaded thats the only way I can get my picky, supertaster fiance to eat them.

Have you thought about adding vegetables to your baked goods to get more nutrients? You can find a lot of recepies online for sneaking vegetables into baked good and other meals (mostly meant for picky children, but adults can be picky too!)
I made some AMAZING chocolate zucchini muffins last week that were way better than any cupcake or muffin I've had before, and they were about 200 cal/muffin (a lot less than any store bought muffin, and a LOT moister and denser due to the zucchini). Even chopping up some vegetables really fine and adding them to recepies can help, and then you won't taste them as much.
There is SO MUCH you can do with vegetables it's almost insane. Look up some recepies and if you find something you may like, try it! I thought I disliked vegetables too (I would only eat a plan ceasar salad and celery for the longest time because I thought I didn't like anything else) until I started cooking them instead of eating them raw. A lot of them taste much better that way (especially if you add some spices to excentuate their flavours)0 -
I have the exact same problem. For stews, soups, and sauces I saute veggies and then pulverize them in my blender. I also drink the V8 Fusion drinks that have veggies and fruit in them.0

I like mine grilled with a high quality balsamic drizzled. I also like them many other ways but that's my favourite. And what's wrong with getting your veggies in the form of leafy greens? What about adding some onions and cut peppers to your salad? I sprinkle parmesan on my salads too. I don't think you need to eat vegetables you hate to get your micros.0

Check out Deceptively Delicious. She takes vegetable purees and adds them to more "junky" food like macaroni and cheese or even brownies! You can't even tell they are there. That would be a good way to get the nutrition while you're working on acquiring a taste for vegetables.0 -
Literally? It's easy! Find their center of gravity, and use THAT point as their base. You can then prop them up into a standing position for all of your still life needs.
I really don't appreciate it when someone is first in on word play and takes all the credit0 -
Literally? Did you line up a bunch of carrots and they fell time and time again?
Carrots are the worst fcking soldiers. Lazy bastids.0 -
I'm the same but find I can stomach lots of Broccoli.0

I really think its all in how you make them. Most people steam or boil the crap out of their veggies and all the nutrients are gone. For carrots you can make a light brown sugar glaze and for others you can add onion or garlic. Veggies can taste better if you know what to pair them up with. You might need just a tad bit of salt or some cheese.
As a cook, I have found creative ways to make veggies more edible. Hit me up if you want some more ideas.0 -
do an internet search for hiding vegetables in food for kids. Zucchini brownies, beets in chocolate cake, etc. Lots of great ideas out there.0

I will admit that I am not a good veggie eater either. But, I have found a great way of implementing them into my way of life in a healthy, whole food kind of way. I found a great site, Incredible Smoothies, that has wonderful recipes for putting our veggies and just the right fresh fruit blend into a blender and mixing it in a way that will be more appealing to our palat. I am amazed at how blending an apple and some fresh fruit can enhance the taste of throwing in some fresh baby spinach leaves etc. Not sure if this will help or not, but if you have a blender and don't mind experimenting with some fresh veggies and fruits, I am loving it. I just started it. I am a horrible veggie eater except for the starchy not so great kind, so mixing fresh carrots, baby spinach, kale, etc with some sweet fruit is a great option for me. She has so many great blender recipes on there for us veggie rebels

If you REALLY hate them that much, try blending them and add to soup...until last Christmas I HATED brocolli.....I tried it again and now it's my most favourite veggie.0

Um. Eat more fruit?0

Stand. Noun. An attitude toward a particular issue. Verb. To be able to endure an issue.
I literally cannot endure vegetables.
Seems correct to me!0 -
Add veggies to meals like casseroles, macaroni and cheese, pasta, soups, chili, etc. Also I like to roast them in the oven with olive oil and spices, and also sauté them on the stove. You can find TONS of really yummy recipes online. Over time your taste buds will change and start to like them if you just start eating them. Also raw veggies dipped in ranch or hummus can be really yummy too.0

Finely shred things like carrots and zucchini and you can add them to anything. I add them to ground meat during cooking and you can't even tell. Add them to soups, stews, and casseroles0

If you like things like stew, jambalaya, curry or soup, you might consider making veggies a large part of these dishes, with (like someone else said) the liberal application of spicing. Don't overcook the vegetables (you don't say what your consistency issue is...you don't like "squishy" foods? you don't like hard/crunchy?) but experiment to find which cooking methods get the vegetables to the consistency you prefer.
I also like making skewers with meat and vegetables and sometimes fruit. Peaches barbeque really well and might prove a distraction for your taste buds! A zesty barbeque sauce might help with flavour issues also.
I have a spouse with food consistency issues and a friend who doesn't eat veggies...I've tried a lot of things when making meals! Sometimes it just takes trial and error, unfortunately. Best of luck.
It's kind of a weird consistency issue and it's kind of broad. Squishy I definitely don't like. Any kind of Puree isn't good for me. Yogurt makes me gag. I don't really know where I picked up this issue from.0 -
I have the same problem with fruit. Can't stand the texture of any of them. I absolutely love vegetables, but the only fruits I can eat are apples and *sometimes* grapes. I like the taste of oranges and strawberries, but the texture makes me gag, so I usually don't eat them. I don't know why, I just can't help it. Don't know where it came from, but it's plenty annoying because to me, fruits do look really delicious and smell so good, but once I try to eat them...blehk. I just eat what fruits I know I like and stick to vitamins for anything else I may miss.0

Maybe try grating veggies. I used to hate veggies too but now I quite like them in stir fry.
Try grating carrots and sprinkle them over things. Stir fry some white cabbage finely shredded.
As others have said casseroles...sometimes trying different ways to eat foods can change your opinions of them.
To the poster that does not like fruit, sometimes changing the meal such as chicken and grated apple is nice0
