Only once.  That was `asparagus pea`-nasty tough little blighters

Cucumbers!!

If I eat cucumber as part of a meal I can't taste anything else on the plate!

In fact if my wife makes me a sandwich she won't use the same knife that cut the cucumber to cut the filling, or indeed the sandwich itself!

If she did! my taste buds are so keen I can tell if she has did use the same knife!

Strange how my kids and grandkids can't get enough of them hence me growing them!

My mum is exactly the same. I don't think they have a very strong taste and I love them.

I will try growing anything once, but if I don't like them won't bother again.

Won't be growing turnips or swiss chard.

The swiss chard looked great and it was bearable in things like vege lasange, but on it's on tasted like soil!

Used to not like tomatoes but grew them for others all the same. Ditto lettuce and courgettes. Now i like them all, tomatoes particularly  ;D  :D

I dont think i would have come to enjoy eating those crops if i wasnt already growing them for others.

Been asked to grow broccoli this year, the proper stuff not the calabrese most people call broccoli. Dont like eating it 'intact' (but like it made into soup), so if I grow it i might be trying it on the plate! Who knows I might actualy like it .

Just goes to prove that homegrown is the best.
