When I was a kid, mum threatened that I'd go without dessert which always prompted a swift empty dinner plate.
I never liked brocolli or cauliflower as a kid, I've since learnt that it wasn't the veges I disliked it was the white sauce everyone puts on them - I cant stand it. I love broc and cauli now, as long as they dont have white sauce on them.
I still can't stand asparagus, brussel sprouts, baked beans, zuchinni, egg plant. I'm not big on spinach or mushrooms but I'll eat them.
This still leaves plenty of other veges I do like. I also like every fruit except for figs.
I looooooove potatoes, they're my favorite vege. In jackets, mashed, roasted, steamed, cut into chips and bbq'd... I like them any way they come.
