I literally CAN'T STAND vegetables

Literally? Did you line up a bunch of carrots and they fell time and time again?
Carrots are the worst fcking soldiers. Lazy bastids.

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.

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

Um. Eat more fruit?

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.

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.

I really wish I was. Literally.

*facepalm*

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.

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 nice
