I'm not huge on scallions but overall I think I like most fruits and vegetables. What don't you guys like?

Brussel Sprouts taste  
pjcas18 : 10/27/2014 11:46 am : link
like aspirin, can't even eat them with cheese sauce.

I don't like baked potatoes (if those count), but I like mashed and french fries, so maybe that's just my weirdness.

I don't like beets, peas, turnips, squash, zucchini, some beans like lima beans,

the only fruits I don't like are

limes (can't stand anything with limes, if at a bar they accidentally put a lime in my vodka and club soda (if that's what I'm drinking) it has to go back,

and tomatoes. I can eat tomato-based sauces, just don't like tomatoes in a salad.

They eat all kind of weird, random plants they find while wandering through the woods. I'm surprised they're not dead yet.
I'd rather eat

eggs, steak, and lobster all day, but I want to live to see 50 (at least), so I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I can't say I really dislike any of them, but if health was not a factor, I wouldn't eat them nearly as much. I'm eating my lunch of black beans, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and a handful of almonds right now (with a apple for dessert). Yum? :(

Those fuckers are everywhere now, and the fact that we haven't heard of a mass poisoning is surprising to me too.

Right on the service road to the BQE there's a ton of weeds growing on the ramp. There are signs - 'do not consume', signs for rat poison warnings, etc. - doesn't stop people from picking them constantly (and making the occasional inadvertent target for those exiting the BQE).

I like things cooked in onions (so it's onion-flavored), but not the onions themselves. And it's just the opposite with bananas. I like bananas, but don't like things that are banana-flavored.
And I like both celery and lettuce...  
Milton : 10/27/2014 12:55 pm : link
But I think they should switch names, because celery looks like something that should be called lettuce and lettuce looks like something that should be called celery.

Tomatoes (although I do like sundried tomatoes and tomato sauce)

Yellow Squash/Zucchini if steamed. Grilled with oil/balsamic I have no problem but when steamed it tastes way too sour for me
lima beans, waxed means, beets and the like

Yep. Somehow I wouldn't put my life at the mercy of my ability to accurately identify unfamiliar wild plants with a field guide, but that's just me.

They had a pat argument about eating how the Indians ate, but cmon - the Indians ate that way for hundreds of years spending their entire lives knowing which plants were edible. A couple of patchouli-soaked aging hippies have no such experience.
oh my god - so many good veggies lister here its unbelievable  
mattlawson : 10/27/2014 3:53 pm : link
kale, spinach, chard - any kind of leafy greens you dont like, try this.

bring large fry pan to medium-high. oil bottom with olive oil. add sliced garlic and crushed red pepper for 15 seconds. remove the garlic.

saute greens for 2-3 minutes, add plenty of salt and pepper.

finish by adding a splash or two of warm water to deglaze pan and finish the greens with a nice quick blanch.

plate, garnish with the garlic. drizzle EXtra virgin olive oil on top.

serve

Ha, and some of these guys are complaining about bananas!

I'd bet they never smelled fucking Durian.

I like just about everything except Durian. Raw cucumbers, the big fat American ones, are pretty nasty. The small and slender "Persian" or middle eastern ones are OK but pretty neutral.

Does anyone like raw celery? I mean without ranch or blue cheese dressing, or bagna cauda dip...
I like raw celery  
buford : 10/27/2014 6:44 pm : link
you have to peel the outer 'strings' and then maybe put some salt or peanut butter on it. But I find it refreshing.
Yeah I meant to put the disclaimer  
BlueLou : 10/27/2014 6:53 pm : link
"not with peanut butter on it" either.

That's pretty good, but it's not plain raw celery...
Celery root is 100x  
BlueLou : 10/27/2014 6:55 pm : link
better than the ribs and leaves.

Cooked celery, BTW, I like. Cream of celery soup is great.
ok, but I do like it raw without anything. As long as it's fresh.

not as much cooked.

I think someone needs to try some good eggplant parmesan, but I do agree if not cooked well it isn't very forgiving.

Not a fan of raw garlic or onion but I like them cooked.

When a person eats a lot of sugar it changes that person's brain chemistry. When a person gives up sugar for a few weeks the brain chemistry starts to change back. When that happen you start to like fruit and veggies that you previously hated.
