Yeah, grapefruit is too sour! :p

One veggie I can think of that I didn't like was okra . I had it once and didn't really care for it. :p

Yum!! Broccoli, I could eat that every day! ;) I love the smell of celery, and how crunchy it is. I can't have tuna without it! :)

That is three of us so far that aren't fans of grapefruit! :p

Corn is yummy , I loved it as a kid. But I think I know what you are saying. As I'm getting older corn is harder to digest!!! :D

I didn't like vegetables as a kid and I still don't,except for carrots.
Oranges are my favorite fruit but I can't find good ones in my state. The only ones they have should be thrown in the trash and they still want 1.50 for each one.

I love escarole, kale, mushrooms, asparagus, onions, mushrooms, celery, potatoes, corn.... those are my favorite vegetables.

Grapefruit is delicious only if you section it, sprinkle some sugar on it and splash some red wine over it... :cool: :D

^^^ Yes, I almost forgot about eggplant. Eggplant is delicious when it's breaded and fried in olive oil. Yummy...:)

Oh man!!! Eggplant Parmigiana ROCKS!!!! Heck , any thing made with fresh eggplant is good!!! :)


Have any of you tried the different varieties of cauliflower? Besides the white, there is the green brocco flower which is a hybrid broccoli and cauliflower DELICIOUS!!!;) And also purple cauliflower that is delicious! Like a purple cabbage! ;) And an orange/yellow cauliflower which to me doesn't taste any different than the white! :)

I love green bell peppers. They add so much flavor to foods! And make the dish look colorful and pretty!

I don't have any favorites. I can't eat grapefruit because of my cholesterol medicine. I like other citrus fruits however, and I really like grapes.

I probably like grapes best. Occasionally pears and peaches. I also like to eat avocado with crackers. I like raisins and figs too.

I have a peach tree, but when it produces fruit, the squirrels won't leave it alone. I used to have the same problem with a pear tree I later had to take down, and 2 nectarine trees -- also now gone (storm damage).

As side dishes I like tomatoes and baked potatoes (with peel!). I keep some frozen veggies on hand, like peas, corn, and green beans, to add to other stuff. I like to add green pepper pieces to scrambled eggs (also from frozen).

I LOVE avocado! Esp. made into guacamole ! Served with tortilla chips!! Or at a Mexican restaurant guacamole and sour cream on the food. OMG it is SO GOOD,;) but so many calories. :(

I wish we had a peach tree. I love peaches. We have lemon trees in our yard! :)

Have you tried any of the colored cauliflower? The green hybrid broccoflower, or the orange or purple? I just bought some of the purple yesterday. It is delicious. I think it is a hybrid of cauliflower and purple cabbage maybe. ;)

mushrooms are a fungi or something like that but I always considered them veggies when I am avoiding them like the plague do to severe allergy.

I have and they're wonderful. A very nice store near me sells a variety pack of white, green, yellow and purple cauliflower. They're wonderful in salads, making them look festive and pretty. And that's on top of their high nutritional content. The yellow is very high in beta-caratine.

They're also great in soup. Before I microwave soup, I break the florets and stalks in small pieces and put them in the soup. They come out slightly al dente. Delicious!

OH Nuts!

Besides the wonderful varieties of cauliflower the veggies I really love are zucchini, yellow squash, raw carrots, Persian cucumbers and celery.

I like practically all fruit but LOVE LOVE LOVE pears- especially the Bosc and Forielle varieties. I'm also very found of all the berries and pink grapefruit.

Raw spinach in a salad instead of the lettuce or mixed with the lettuce is so good. And good for you too. Iron, vitamin K and C I think! It has lots of vitamins and nutrients in it I know. Even cooked spinach is good! ;)

I love all veggies , even ones a lot of people don't like such as Brussel sprouts and Lima beans ! :)

I like strawberries too, but I like Bing cherries even better! ;)

Come to think of it, I'm the one who started this thread! :D

Brussel sprouts ROCK!!! And they are so cute, like little cabbages! More people need to give them a chance I think. Maybe they would like them and don't even try assuming they won't like them!

I remember when I was really little and my parents first introduced them to me(I think I was 6 or 7). I thought I would hate them but when I tried them I did like them. Now I am someone who usually tries food at least once.

Since I now eat so little sugar as I have diabetes, I don't feel too guilty about eating a sauce. ;)
