What's Your Most Disliked Vegetable?

[ElegantAura]

Vegetables, some of us don’t eat enough, and many of us stick to the same ones for various reasons, whether it’s due to cost or simply not liking the taste. But instead of talking about the veggies we enjoy, let’s focus on the ones we’d rather avoid.

For a lot of people, Brussels sprouts (though I actually love them) take the crown as the most disliked vegetable. Maybe it’s their strong flavour, or perhaps they’re just one of those foods that never grew on them.

So, what’s the vegetable you just can’t get on board with? Whether it’s the taste, texture, or something else entirely.

....................................................
As for me, I don’t think there’s any vegetable I dislike enough to avoid completely. Sure, there are some I prefer over others, and some I use more often because they’re affordable, easy to find, or conveniently sized for one person. But to truly hate any vegetable? I don’t think there’s any vegetable I’d go that far with

Yeah, I think that it's gotta be Brussels Sprouts.

I really like Brussels sprouts and never quite understood why so many people don’t. Is there any particular reason you’re not a fan?

For me, I’ve always loved cabbage and eat it often. I grew up eating a lot of it since we didn’t have much money, and most of the vegetables we had were cheap or homegrown. Brussels sprouts weren’t something I had when I was young, either they weren’t available, or we just didn’t buy them because they were more expensive.

When I finally tried Brussels sprouts, I found their flavour similar to cabbage, just a bit stronger, which makes sense since they’re in the same family. Because of that, I really like them, though I don’t know many recipes that use them. I usually just roast them in the oven, as they weren’t something I cooked with before.

I SHOULD like Brussels Sprouts because they look like tiny cabbages.
Can't really pinpoint why I'm not fond of them, maybe I just never have found the 'right' way to cook them. And, it's a struggle to come up with any other veggie that I don't like.

I was not forced to try any, so I dunno lol.

Yes the tiny cabbages
I only make a few dishes with Brussels sprouts. Like I mentioned before, I mostly roast them in the oven since it’s easy, and they make a great side dish.
I also sometimes add them to soups. Other than that, I don’t know many ways to use them either, so I can understand where you're coming from.

I eat all vegetables, but if I had to choose one to skip, it would be potatoes. I know that sounds odd! I don’t hate them, but I could easily live without them.
Lately, I’ve been cooking with them a lot more, but in the past, I didn’t use them much and even avoided fries. I usually prefer a salad as a side dish with meat or other veggies

The only way I really enjoy potatoes is in stews, where their starch adds a nice flavour to the meal. Fries, on the other hand, are my least favourite I hardly ever eat them.

When I roast potatoes in the oven, I squeeze almost two lemons over them for a lemony flavour. If they’re bland, I don’t eat much of them.
So, like I mentioned in my other post, there are no vegetables I hate or can’t eat. It’s just that potatoes aren’t as high on my list as other vegetables

Peas are absolutely disgusting.

And while I like raw carrots, cooked carrots make me want to puke.

Speaking of peas, my cat is a bit odd............she loves peas! I had some for lunch, and she was right there next to me, eyeing my plate.

She ended up eating nearly half of them! I kept saying, This is the last one, but her pleading look got to me, so I kept giving her more.
It wasn’t a lot, just a small side portion.

But yeah, back to the topic peas are another vegetable that a lot of people don’t really like.

Out of the few I have had, onions were the worst.
