We had Brussels sprouts last night.

@Paul628 Ack!

@godef I didn't say I liked them, only that we had them. I can eat a few, but if I eat too many I'll turn into a giant gas bomb.

Try brussel sprouts! Grilled with lots of olive oil, lemon and garlic! I hated them as a kid too and didn't try the again til it was 40. They are amazing.

@Roadster You're probably right. My mother never fed me spinach when I was a kid, but she did to two of my sisters as part of a diet, and the horrid look on their faces convinced me I'd probably hate the stuff. Of course, that spinach came from a can; I've learned to love spinach prepared properly in various Florentine dishes, in quiche, and even raw in a salad.

@godef I had the same experience with spinach, I still don't like simple cooked spinach but mixed fresh or cooked into any number of dishes, it is excellent.
Good call on the Lima beans though. I don't think there is any way to redeem them. I try every now and then. Never has worked out.
