Lots of people hate eating veggies. Or at least the veggies their moms make them eat. Even vegans have some they don't like.

Pick 1 vegetable to completely remove from the universe and make it no longer exist!

My choice is Cauliflower, because it's useless and gross. Adding tons of garlic, or hot sauce, or mashing it up with cheese doesn't help at all. It can just barely be saved by wrapping it in bacon, and at that point you're only eating it for the bacon anyway.

Which vegetable would you pick, and why?

Cauliflower yeah that's high on the list.

Cheese sauce can save it.
And organic is .. Well organic it gets better but that's not exactly every day food and more Christmas.

I used to really hate beets as a kid. They tasted like dirt to me. Then I grew up and tried them again and realized I was right, they do taste like dirt. But I also realized that now I like the taste of dirt.

Hm. As a vegetarian I'm hesitant to banish anything from my already limited diet, but if I had to choose it would be artichokes.

I just don't see the point, they are a hell of a lot of effort to consume, and they can leave splinters in your mouth. Feth that.

Now, if I could keep the artichoke hearts but make extinct the rest of the plant I'd be happy. The hearts are delicious but the rest of the grenade-shaped monstrosity can go to hell.

I dont mind cauliflower, with some olive oil, salt and garlic its actually pretty great.

For me, Brussel Sprouts. Turbo gross and bitter enough to make anything you put on it gross. I like Broccoli however which is closely related.

Eggplant is another thats just really gross, but I almost never encounter it.

I would have picked all forms of squash and zucchini, but that would have been too broad. I do like eggplant though, not for the eggplant itself, but for the eggplant parm. I try to just eat the parm part, and leave the floppy eggplant slices behind.

Brussels. fething. Sprouts.

Taste like absolute gak. The only way I've heard someone tell me to make them taste better is to drown them in balsamic vinegar and bake them. After which, they taste like balsamic vinegar, which isn't making the sprout itself taste better, just replacing the taste.

I'd probably put a bet in for courgette? I've had the pleasure of never eating a Brussel sprout, so I'm already from from that. Squash is also on the list.

I'd want to say tomato, but only whole - unfortunately they are a fruit. Still doesn't stop me having a phobia of them.

Wouldn't be able to live without garlic - need that in my life, and mushrooms are good to keep for me.

Celery. Not so much because it tastes awful, and in fact robs you of energy by tricking you into eating it- but because of its perplexing popularity. How on earth it became customary to include this vile thing on every food platter, and with every occasion is beyond me.

There are quite a few veggies that I'm not keen on/dislike, but as an adult nobody forces me to eat them so they don't bother me. There is one vegetable however that I despise, white onions.

Ocra makes my list.

This distinctly Southern vegetable is something of a mystery to us in the Midwestern United States as it doesn't grow here and rarely gets imported. When my brother moved to Oklahoma it wound up in many of the dishes, and he was perplexed by its popularity. While visiting I agreed with his assessment. It's like a potato and tree bark had a child.

Fried okra didn't do much for me (now, fried pickles, those are heaven!), but pickled okra are a totally different experience. The spicy pickled okra is particularly good if you like a little heat!

Brussels sprout needs to go away.

There's not a single veggie I can think of I hate any more. It used to be beets and cauliflower as a kid, but they're okay.

Nobody's mentioned lima beans or asparagus yet which are fairly standard, but I like both of those.

One of my least favorites actually is the tomato, at least by itself. Diced or sliced with other things tomatoes are fine but on its own...especially those small bite size ones...ugh, the way they gush in your mouth like a sour eyeball. Ick.

I'm a fairly nose/sight/texture eater, so a lot of things I haven't eaten because they smell horrible, look horrible, or have horrible texture... So I'd be cool with getting rid of them. Sometimes it's only a contextual banishment. For instance, lettuce, tomato and the like are fine as food go. But you can get them right the hell away from a perfectly good burger. If I wanted a salad with my burger, I'll get it on the side, than you very much.

I generally have a great dislike for stuff that tastes excessively bitter. I have never in my life finished a cup of coffee, and I generally only manage green tea with copious amounts of honey added.

However, artichoke, brussel sprouts, and asparagus are some of my favorite vegetables, when well prepared. Melting butter and/or using olive oil and seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic, then almost blackening them is a particularly tasty recipe.

That said, I do not tolerate cucumber, and squashes/zucchini are nothing to be desired, either. Honorable mention to celery, that starts out as horrendous as cucumber, but once the bitter juice is gone, I have sometimes tricked myself into chewing on the remaining fibrous material like gum. But that's not eating, it's a deliberate workout.

The trick is to burn them. Seriously. Cut them, spray them with olive oil, add a dash of salt and pepper and then bake them at 400 degrees or more until they burn around the edges. They taste better when burned, almost sweet. You can also cook them in a frying pan, but it's more labor intensive.

Cauliflower is best steamed until mushy, to me, but it also roasts well when mixed with butternut squash, carrots, and sweet/normal potatoes. The combination of flavors works. Cauliflower rice is also a thing at Trader Joes, but I've only had it when doused with simmer sauce, so my evaluation is biased.

I haven't had eggplant since college because my wife hates it, but I remember it being a very sauce-forgiving vegetable, like broccoli. The better the sauce, the better the veggie.


There aren't really a whole lot of veggies I dislike, but by God if you force me to eat raw tomato seeds in that bog corpse-textured placental goo that gushes out with them, we will have words. Such words. The angriest words.

I'd have to vote celery out, the last time I had it was a few weeks ago and I still have an odd floral taste in my mouth from it.

I also saw a couple at the supermarket the other day holding what appeared to be a snozzcumber straight out of Roald Dahl's BFG. It was a hideous, mutated, lumpy, brown cucumber thing. It must have been a root of some kind but it was huge! That can go as well just because it was so clearly not a food that should be eaten.

As a culinary professional I would gladly make anyone enjoy a vegetable they hate, you just have to prepare them correctly! Except in the case of allergies and other physical ailments...

But okra? Always nasty, even when used in gumbo or anything else I just hate that texture so much. Who wants to eat a booger?

Altman, considering some people have a genetically encoded antipathy with brussel sprouts, we are veering dangerously towards discussing eugenics.

Some posters have gone so far as to advocate throwing all sprouts in the ovens.


Edit: autocorrect.

I advocate sprouts in ovens, frying pans or the deep fryer. Although I have to admit, the discussion of "having to add stuff to them to make them taste better" being unacceptable is insane to me. Would you just steam a piece of chicken with no spices and claim it tasted good? Or a steak? That sounds horrid and foul to me. I want to add seasoning to my food. All food. If it's good enough of a seasoning to add to meat, it's good enough to add to a veggie.
Hell, even a good steak benefits from sea salt, black pepper and worchester sauce prior to the grill.

Do I have to limit myself to ONE vegetable to make extinct? Because there are plenty I really don't like. For instance, I have to agree with the sentiment expressed by someone on the first page about mushrooms. Whoever decided to try to eat them must have been evil. I mean, they live and feed off of dead stuff. The vultures of the plant kingdom. You don't see people eating vultures, do you? Ever think that maybe eating things that eat dead stuff is a bad idea?

Also, cauliflower is just nasty. I can't stand the stuff, even though I like the dark green version of it commonly known as broccoli.

Worst of all, while technically a fruit, the most vile thing in all of God's creation has to be the abominable, despicable, horrible, avocado. I mean, the texture is just wierd, the taste is horrific, and the way they look before they are even cut is just plain ugly. I like to make the joke that the fruit that the serpent enticed Eve to eat in the Garden of Eden must have been an avocado, as if any fruit were capable of causing the downfall of humanity, that would be the one (although I can't imagine Eve wanting to eat one no matter how hard the snake begged her to do it...). I won't eat guacamole either, as it still tastes like avocados even with all the spicy stuff in it.

I could name more vegetables that should be extinct, but these three probably are at the top of the list.

Some stuff mentioned in here that people hate, I actually like though. For instance, I actually like zucchini. It doesn't have much of a taste, but put it in stuff and it acquires the taste of whatever it's in. Same with yellow squash (whatever its proper name is). Indeed, I'm good with most squash.

And When I make a steak, its just a little bit of salt to keep the water in to and onto the grill it goes.

"Hmmm. I will try some of your dead, burnt meat."

New report by Imperial College says we should eat 10 portions (80gm portion size) of fruit and veg a day.

Cauliflower is one of the best! Also sprouts!!

Not this time. For more context, I was at some friends' apartment around lunch time and I don't have a meal plan for dining halls because I'm close enough to commute. It was half on a dare (hence no microwave) and half because I was that hungry. We agreed that I'd probably be 'hardcore' enough to do a raw onion, but we didn't feel it necessary to prove it.

The lesson learned that day was that preparing vegetables makes a huge difference in how palatable they are, e.g. cooked potato >> raw potato. Probably applies to the other stuff on this thread.

Can we get a list going of veggies that people have a biological predisposition to have a negative reaction to?
Brussel sprouts=bitter
Cilantro=soap
Asparagus=urine

What else we got?
I'm happy to say I don't have those predispositions, and I love cilantro on almost anything and I can eat brussel sprouts with any meal.

I have allergies to onions and strawberries, I enjoy the taste of both but they absolutely destroy my digestive tract. Asparagus smells and tastes like urine to me, I'm probably more sensitive to the trace amounts of sulfur or ammonia in it. I also really dislike eggs for the same reason the sulfur content makes them smell terrible and rotten to me.

I'm also ultra sensitive to liquids that have Nutrasweet in them, it smells and tastes beyond bitter. If it's used in a solid food I don't notice it as much but in any sort of liquid it's horrible and even sitting across the room from an open can or glass of diet soda makes me feel slightly queasy. (Jello is still liquid enough to trigger it) On average my sense of smell is really bad and I don't notice most scents but that one stands out particularly strong for some reason.

That guy had to be starving to death and clearly out of his mind to think it tasted like something edible and...not poison.

I've a similar reaction to the taste of Stevia the plant based sweetener, vile, vile stuff although most folk don't notice it in food or drink I always do, awful (Coke Life = Death)

Asparagus tastes great but it does make your urine really stink the next day

Sprouts (and cabbage, kale etc) taste bitter to me, but that's part of their charm

I can respect that. And I can sympathize. The texture thing is weird and inexplainable, at least when it comes to me and my loathing for tomato seed mung. Same thing with bell peppers on pizza. I love bell peppers. I love pizza. Put them together and I feel like I'm eating spiders.

Still, I don't think I could eat a burrito that was missing such a key ingredient. It would be like eating a pastrami sandwich without mustard.

Any beans. The texture is terrible and it tastes like mud. I have tried it multiple times thinking maybe I missed something. Every time I throw whatever I was eating away around halfway through after choking down as much as I can.

Beans on a fajitas is blasphemy in my opinion, I understand them being a staple on a burrito, but you keep your disgusting beans away from my fajitas!

Broccoli is definitely on that list. I can eat any other vegetable, even bitter melon (yes, it taste exactly as it sounds).

My problem with broccoli is that it doesn't matter how it's cooked, it always seems to burn my mouth. I've never ran into another person who has had this issue.

Not even cheese, the heroin of foods, can make me eat it. Without fail, the roof of my mouth will be burned.

+1. Whoever decided those things were edible needs to have painful things done to them.

(Also, broccoli is more closely related to cauliflower than sprouts.)

@DarkTraveler777: Try heart-of-palm. It has similar taste and texture to artichoke hearts (less bitter, and depending on preparation saltier), but without the splinters.

This whole pizza discussion reminds me of the wave of Pinkberry-style pizzerias that have popped up around here and the ridiculous variety of unconventional toppings and sauces one can choose. You could make an orange chicken, bacon, ricotta and avocado with Thai peanut sauce pizza and no one would bat an eye. The world has changed and I am frightened.

My bro in law is from Indonesia, he turned me on to something magical called Satay. It's skewers of meat, usually chicken, grilled and slathered with some kinda chunky peanut butter sauce. It's like valhalla on a stick.

Dark green and bumpy on the outside, multiple shades of off-green and yellow on the inside, with a interesting texture? I think they already are Nurgle’s fruit.

I’m personally not a fan, but not to the point where I’d want the extinct. To be fair, I don’t think any food has that level of ire from me.
