Broad beans, broccoli, aubergine.

Cooked carrots, cauli, cabbage (love them all raw).

Still making my mind up about courgettes.

I think courgettes have a bullying, uncooperative nature.

ROFLMAO !!!

Well apart from tomato `Moneymaker`(is it edible?) ;) The only other edible plant I will pass on is Salad Burnet

Broad Bean skins, Rover?

Young ones don't have them (you can eat the pod too!) &, with old ones, you just pop'em out of the skin, as they do in all the best places.

As to dislikes, I don't eat anything I don't like so I'm fireproof!!

cut into chunks, toss in olive oil, smear over tomato sauce (ketchup will do) and some chilli sauce (or your leftover gazpacho). Bake in a 200degC oven for around 25mins

- gives courgettes a whole new dimension!

I love everything and eat masses of it all - except cooked celery! Am having a love affair with fried sweet potatoes at the moment and have 15 healthy little slips in pots. Haven't tried salad burnett, love rocket, coriander, bit cautious about sage.........

1. BROAD BEANS - The Devil's earwax
2: OKRA - Like eating cooked slugs
3: CELERY - Bleeeeuuurchhhhhh. A pointless, vile-tasting green thing.
4: CHILLIS - If I wanted to burn my insides I'd swallow a firelighter and a lit Swan Vesta. Ridiculous items.

Beetroot - can't remember what it tastes like but used to be fed it as a kid, anything that makes your wee change colour is just wrong.

I didn't expect so many replies, I had forgotten about Broad beans, I don't like them either.

You can get a lot of chocolate into the grooves in a celery stalk

Broad beans in their pods, save the bother and glug fairy liquid instead.
Tomatillos, cheesy baconey and vile.
Kohl Rabi - whats the point?
Patty Pans - whats wrong with a good old marrow then?
Peas - easier out t'freezer.

Thats my 2 pence worth, oh and Celery of course...

I'm a member of both TACS and TABBS

The Anti Celery Society & The Anti Broad Bean Society. They're free to join and you get free counselling if you accidentally swallow either of these vile creations of nature.

Also, you get free car bumper stickers:

'My Other Car was Bought by Someone Who likes Celery' and 'Broad Bean on Board - Please Alert The Vegetable Police'

And you all call yourselves Vegetable Growers??

I'd go back to the buttie bar!!

kitten · « **Reply #53 on:** February 23, 2007, 18:40:14 »

I don't dislike any vegetables that i've tried! Perhaps that's why my house is currently inundated with veg seeds ready for the plot ;D ;)

tim · « **Reply #54 on:** February 23, 2007, 18:49:32 »

You can even eat the seeds. Or their sprouts!!

MrsKP · « **Reply #55 on:** February 23, 2007, 18:52:04 »

many thanks to dtw for a very entertaining thread.

makes you wonder how the seed companies make a profit with all these pet hates.

i'd not tried broad beans since kinderhood until i grew them last year and thought they were fabby ! and i just love sprouts.

i must be getting old.

I'd have to go along with the crowd and say celery (though i don't mind it in vege soup) and cucumber.
I used to hate Broad beans until my ex-mother-in-law cooked them for me and she used the young tender ones and didn't cook them till they were brown!

My mother used to put all her vege on at the same time so green=brown which was a real shame as she grew them all.

Oh I also hate with a passion silver beet which I think is called Chard here, but that really tastes disgusting green or brown!

Those people who hate squash and pumpkin are eating the wrong ones my husband told me he hated it then when we went to NZ I gave him the ones eaten there (now available here) buttercup/kaboucha and now he will fight for the last piece.

I think a lot of the time its down to a bad experience or not cooking them properly. My girlfriend puts the dreaded celery through bolognese and its brilliant.

MrsKP · « **Reply #58 on:** February 23, 2007, 18:58:22 »

does "heavily disguised" count ? :P

definitely agree on the cooking thing. ;D
