I have to agree with Kea. There are hundreds of different squash and they all taste different. I collect the seeds and I have a very big collection and have grown dozens of varieties over the years,but each year I find a differnt flavour, there is such a tremendous difference in taste, texture and colour, so much so that sometimes it is hard to believe they are the same veggie.

celery and broad beans...

grawrc · « **Reply #65 on:** February 23, 2007, 21:23:50 »

There's nothing I don't like. It all depends on how they are prepared and presented. Broad beans are amongst my favourites. Baby broad beans with garlicky roast lamb is to die for. I also do a broad bean and baby plum tomato "stew" with fresh thyme that I would go to the end of the earth for. I do remove the skins from the beans though, which is a bit of a tedious task, but then the end product is unbelievably delicious. Not my recipe but Nick Nairn's.

Hi Corneykev,if you are interested in colouring your tinkles, asparagus does a good job of changing it too I heard years ago,just can't remember exactly what. Bet someone does XX Jeannine

Apparently children have to be persuaded to put a new food in their mouths 5 times & they will start to like it [personally I'm not convinced]. For adults it takes 21 [or somesuch] times. Well I've tried beetroot at least 5 times recently & still hate it - just need another 16 & I should start to like it.

last summer i didn't know that beetroot came in any other variety apart from pickled and i HATED that.

but since EJ has taught me how to roast them, i'm going to grow lots more this year.

apart from the b. awful mess they make of your washing up gloves, they're quite nice !

;D

I havn,t tried some of those mentioned I just know I don,t like them from instinc
I,m not keen on celery and I,v found I don,t fancy veg that aren,t the right colour
black potatoes purple cauli ,like red cabbage though red sprouts uhh er never tried them just know

I bet if you were blindfolded you'd like them as much as the green ones. I think I would trust my tongue before my instinct.

I have a wonderful recipe for beetroot bread. The loaf turns out a nice pink colour & my niece who used to be funny about eating bread can't get enough of it.

Curly kale. I was once ( ;)) invited for a meal by a male friend who was proud of his home grown veg and watched as he merrily skimmed off hundreds of green caterpillars as they floated to the surface. :o (Can't bear to think what happened to those that didn't manage to escape from the crinkliest bits.)

And okra. Has all the flavour of boiled caterpillar and the texture of boiled slug.

I really dislike tarragon and corriander!

Melbourne12 · « **Reply #76 on:** February 25, 2007, 13:46:03 »

I don't think there are any veg that I strongly dislike. Given the choice, I probably won't take cooked or pickled beetroot (although it's nice grated into salads), and some of the coarser leaves like chard and kale don't hit the high notes.

Sadly, as I've got older, I can no longer eat jerusalem artichokes, which I love. As granny used to say, I like them but they don't like me. (I won't go into details, eh?)

Tora · « **Reply #77 on:** February 25, 2007, 14:38:32 »

I really cannot think of any vegetable I dislike. I think any vegetable can be good if it's in a suitable dish and cooked properly. I thought I hated celery for a long time since I was a kid but realised I actually like it when I had fresh, properly peeled one a few years ago.

Having said that, there are things I wouldn't bother growing such as swedes, which I can happily live without. ::)

Mrs Ava · « **Reply #78 on:** February 25, 2007, 15:57:24 »

Nope...have sat here reading the thread, and thinking of all the veggies that there are....and I can honestly say there are no veggies that I wouldn't eat. I'm not crazy on flots of ennel, but cooked proplerly, of shaved thinly, and in small portions, delicious. Nope....I love broad beans, like celery, love my greens, adore roots, love corn......coriander only over a jalfrazee......nope, I loves my veg!

lorna · « **Reply #79 on:** February 25, 2007, 16:27:51 »

Can't stand carrots (unless raw) onions (unless pickled) swede, turnip, parsnip. Love all green veg. Never tasted any variety of squash but might try some this year, threw last years away ::)
