What veg you do not eat?
« on: June 05, 2010, 08:27:01 »
There is only few veg that my mouth will not get used to eating..no matter how many time I've tried.. ::) One that I really dislike is celery..it just taste almost soapy to me, yak..I always end up picking it out from food...I like pickled beetroot but unpickled..yak..taste like hadfull of soil..so earthy and goes with chard too. I do grow chard as I looks good all the fandy colours ;D ..and if I don't eat it chickens will ;)..and then there is all aniseed flavours..like with fennels and tarragong...now I don't mind the taste but I assosiate it with sweet things so It just taste odd with savoury things.

I can't think of any vegetables that I dislike though there are some, such as purple sprouting,  that I prefer to others.

Asparagus. Yuck!....and artichokes, double yuck. Everything else I like and eat though, the only fruit I don't like is peaches, the furry skin makes me go funny but I like them peeled..... ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Celery is horrible.....and I will hve to admit to being seriously courgettist. OH puts them on the plate anyway ;). Normally hidden under something else ::)

I'll eat almost anything else though ;D
A space? I need more plants......more plants? I need some space!!!!

Celery is a staple in any soup mix. Try it with Leeks, Flat Leaf Parsley and Carrots.

One thing I had planned on growing was Artichoke but after a trip to Spain last year and tasting it, I think I'll give it a miss.

Nothing else really, anything I'm not overkeen on is always combined with other ingredients that enhances or disguises the flavour.

I can't think of a vegetable I don't like.

But I hate caraway seeds - I was ill with some childhood disease like measles or something, after I'd eaten a cake with them in. Since then I've never been able to stand them.

Not a real veg eater. Just like green veg, can't stand root veg but I do love carrots raw.

If I don`t like it ,I don`t grow it. Well not twice anyway

Two things spring to mind.

1-Asparagus peas-nasty woody little buggars

2-Salad Burnet-it`s just not nice

Chard and fennel. Most other things I do like, although I wouldn't eat a big bit of celery raw but it is ok in things.

Celery - yuc, yuc, yuc.  Need keen on beetroot either - tastes of mud.
