I love it, dammit...

[reyd reid reed]

Spinach.

Asparagus.

Broccoli.

Cauliflower.

Celery.

Rhubarb.

Lima beans.

and....

Brussels sprouts.

All of 'em...I love 'em, dammit and I'm PROUD.

[hickman]

1. Agree about everything except lima beans.

And rubarb unless its cooked with honey or sugar.

[reyd reid reed]

3. I've gotten my kids to love all of 'em

except the lima beans. They can't stand 'em either. I mean...huh? I just don't get it.

And rhubarb's gotta have lots of sugar...I've been wanting a strawberry rhubarb pie for months now but it's been too damn hot to bake one. Now that it's cooling off...the season's over. Although I do have two quarters of strawberries sitting at home in the fridge, waiting for me...

:9

Yummmmmmm....




(edited to add: Whoops...not just the lima beans. I haven't gotten them to go for the brussels sprouts, either.)

[hickman]

7. Lima beans are slimy on the outside,

and mushy on the inside. My kids loved vegetables. They would not except a lima bean if it was attached to candy. I wonder if I influenced them?

[reyd reid reed]

8. Really?

Now...okra's like that but...maybe I cook 'em different? My lima beans aren't slimy or mushy. They're smooth on the outside and just a bit crisp so's they almost snap when you bite 'em.

I forgot okra though...slimy and mushy or crispy and fried...YUMMMMMMMMM...

9. Here in Michigan it's been in the 70's for two weeks.

My neighbor has been baking and cooking for 2 weeks. Cool nights and days of smelling what ever herbs and spices that Albanians cook with are driving me to learn how to cook outside midwestern cooking.

30. Oh, isn't it fun to try new things?

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...but it's always an adventure.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I'm with you, sweetie!

I love 'em all too......

Except

Lima beans.........you can have my share, OK? :puke:

The rest are simply wonderful!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[reyd reid reed]

6. I can't figure out what it is about lima beans that people don't like...

:shrug:

Leaves more for me, though.

:)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

4. I'm cool with...

Lima beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and fresh spinach. :P :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

5. Cool!

Why don't more people like lima beans? I LOVE succotash...yummmmmm...

[Richard Steele]

10. No cabbage?

And how do you feel about fennel?

Yer not one of them anti-fennelites, are you?

[reyd reid reed]

20. Fennel ROCKS

It's absolutely necessary sometimes...without fennel, life wouldn't be worth living...


Cabbage, on the other hand, I can do without very nicely, thankyouverymuch.

(My mom used to boil it with hot dogs....:puke: )

[Broken_Hero]

11. Thats good

and I'm doing my part, by not eating them...so you can have more...how nice of me...:) :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

21. So generous of you...

But you just don't know what you're missing out on.

And...none of 'em?

Poor, deprived soul.

[Robeson]

12. I agree.

[reyd reid reed]

22. YAY!!!

I was starting to feel like an outcast. Like a pariah. Like a....

Lima bean lover.

:hi:

[Duer 157099]

13. Another proud lima bean lover here

I like everything you've listed. In fact, I can't really think of any fruits/veggies that I don't like, although I'm sure some exist.

But lima beans? With some butter, salt and pepper? Yum!

[reyd reid reed]

23. Oh, yummmmmm!

A kindred spirit...

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

14. you know what i love?

Spinach
Eggs
X-ray vision
:evilgrin:
:rofl:

[reyd reid reed]

24. My mom used to serve hard-boiled eggs With spinach...

I don't, though.

Now...the x-ray vision has possibilities...in the right circumstances.

C'mere...

:evilgrin:

[Guava Jelly]

31. Woo hoo

:woohoo:
:evilgrin:

[miss_american_pie]

15. Mmmmm

And now I am so in the mood to make rhubarb pie. :hi:

[billyskank]

16. Mmmmmm...pie

:loveya:


;)

:D

[miss_american_pie]

17. Hey you

:loveya:

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

26. Mmmmmmm...

I love rhubarb pie. Warm with ice cream.

:9

[bridgit]

18. several of those make you gas'y right...

x( there's always gas-x i suppose :thumbsup:

[reyd reid reed]

27. That's what I hear...

But what's weird is that I've never noticed it. But I can eat beans without that particular problem, too.

I guess I've got an iron stomach?

:shrug:

[1gobluedem]

19. Blech to cauliflower and rhubarb

Love the rest of them. ESPECIALLY lima beans -- my favorite!

My name for Brussels Sprouts when I was a kid: grumple stones. My family still calls them that.

I don't see any reason for cauliflower to exist, though. It has no taste and a terrible texture.

[reyd reid reed]

28. It doesn't have much taste, I'll admit

But that makes people's dislike of it that much more puzzling.

But...I gave up trying to figure people out loooong ago.

[1gobluedem]

32. The mushy texture is what turns me off

I am very fussy about the texture of my food.

[Left Is Write]

25. I love spinach, asparagus, broccoli and lima beans too.

I don't mind celery and sometimes put it in soup or hotdish, but I don't eat it plain.

I don't care for cauliflower, rhubarb, or brussels sprouts.

Load me up on the spinach, asparagus, broccoli, and lima beans, though!

[reyd reid reed]

29. Yay!!!

I like cauliflower much better when it's cooked in butter but mostly I eat it mixed with other veggies...it really doesn't have much flavor on its own. Brussels sprouts I love...always have. And rhubarb...yummmm.

Out of all of 'em, I think asparagus is probably my favorite. Might be my favorite vegetable period. I love that stuff...I could sit down and make a meal of it.

[MissMillie]

33. I'd eat all that

not so much w/ the "love" when it comes to Rhubarb and lima beans, but I'd eat them. Spinach, asparagas, broccoli and brussels sprouts.... LOVE!!!!
