Just like you Flamingo...parsnips and rutabagas. Are turnips the same thing? If not, I'll add them to the list of vegetables that make me gag. I love turnip greens, just not the turnips. Oh yeah, one more thing. Those tiny little green peas. I could tolerate them if a bully was to come along and force me to eat them, but that's not likely to happen, so I'll leave them off the menu too.

I can't think of any vegetable that I dislike intensely!

I don't think artichokes are worth the trouble, but I don't hate them. I'm not real fond of eggplant, but I have eaten it and would eat it again.

I always thought I hated beets, but it turns out that I just hate pickled beets (which we used to get in the high school cafeteria). I like fresh beets that are just boiled or roasted.

Parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, peas, brussels sprouts...I like them all. I don't think I've ever had okra, except in that southern "stew" (what's that called? not jambalaya...)

I guess I'd say bok choy. But, I've never tasted it cuz I can't stand the smell of it.
I've never eaten a veggie that I intensely dislike.
Now, "don't care for" is another matter.

I've never had parsnips or rutabagas, so I don't know about those. I like most vegetables and if I had to choose between meat, fruit or vegetables to eat for the rest of my life - I'd easily choose veggies!

The only vegetable I dislike is okra.. how can something be both hairy and 'snotty-like'? Ick. My DH and DD love okra, especially pickled.

I haven't had any tomatoes yet this year. I'm hoping my Mom and Dad's garden doesn't get flooded when the Mississippi gets up. They planted over 60 tomato plants this year. I usually am sick of tomatoes by the end of the summer.

Broccoli, but I eat it because it's good fer ya

Only one I can think of is okra, but I will eat it fried. I used to not like most of them, but now I love them.

Flamey--FDA says Florida tomatoes are AOK! Enjoy!!

I dislike canned waxed beans. My older sister loved rutabaga, and so we had it often. I have not cooked it since I left home. I think I might like it now. I also avoid sauerkraut.

I like all Veggies (Far as I know). I'd say Broccoli is low on my Totem Pole. But, I eat it, in fact, had it last night.

Gayle

Just Brussels sprouts, I guess....love most others.

Okra. I have tried cooking it in many different ways but it always comes out slimey. I love almost every other veggie except that.
Clare

Lima beans and Brussels sprouts.

I like most veggies with the exception of brussel sprouts and since that is DH's favorite, I do eat some occasionally.
My favorites are fresh butter beans, tomatoes and yellow crookneck squash. Bettye

Like them all except OKRA and BEETS!

beets, brussel sprouts, greens of any kind, don't like cooked cauliflower too much but I will eat it, cooked turnips. That's about it.

Beets, although I do like beet greens. Okra - fried is tolerable, otherwise no.

Never had parsnips or rutabagas but don't like radishes.

okra, and collard greens.
I baked rutabagas like potatoes in a casserole,,they were surprisingly good.

I can't think of a vegetable that I intensely dislike other than, maybe canned peas or canned carrots. Yuck!

Canned creamed corn and canned peas. Love fresh veggies and am fortunate to live in an area where lots are grown.

Beets taste like dirt. I've pretty much liked the other vegetables I've tried.

We found a really good local nursery. Today, we went to get some flowers since my pansies are dying. Some of the veggies were marked down to $.75 so I bought three more tomato plants with tomatoes already on them. One way or another I'm going to get some good tomatoes to eat.

I love all fresh veggies.

I didn't like okra until Oshi sent me a jar of spicey pickled okra. They were to die for. I have never seen anything like that around here.

I don't like lima beans - we had them almost every night for dinner growing up - my parents gave up trying to get me to eat them. LOL I don't like any beans in general except fresh green beans or yellow beans. I don't like lentils either. Texture thing for me so you will never see me eating baked beans. I can eat hummus though but can't eat chick peas on their own or in a salad. I will eat kidney beans in chili.

Only canned veggies I eat are tomatoes and beets.

Fresh herbs - I don't like basil or rosemary and I don't like lavender in my food. Love the smell, I just don't want to eat it.

Flamey, if the stores have them look for Ontario hot house tomatoes. Essex County where I live, we grow some of the best tasting tomatoes in North America and they are imported everywhere.

Anne

Never had a rutabega or parsnips that I know of. I don't hate any vegetable really with the exception of store bought tomatoes. Like eating wet cardboard. I have some small green ones on the vine and can't wait till they're big enough to eat.

Oops, I meant to say exported.

A tip Flamey - I microwave the rutabaga (Canadians usually call them turnips) until the wax melts off and the skin is a little less tough. Easy to cut and peel then.

Anne

The only vegetables I don't really like, and I guess they're really fruits, are olives.

Cauliflower is the only one I really dislike.

Haven't met a veggie I didn't like! Call me odd. My hubby hates cucumbers. My older daughter, picky as all get out. Son, he loves them all also. Carlie, cucumbers a hit and miss with her.

Here is a link that might be useful: Autism Awareness and how our family lives with it.

I love most all vegetables, have never eaten parsnips or rutabagas. I LOVE cooked turnips, just cut them up and boil them with salt and pepper, a tad of butter, YUMMO! The only thing needed with it is a cornbread muffin. I love turnip greens also, but the turnips are fine just by themselves, without the greens.

We have a few tomato plants, and have had three ripe tomatoes already, they are so good.

I grew up on home grown vegetables, we seldom had meat. The veggies were fresh out of the garden in the summer, and mama canned veggies to get us through the winter.

Oh lord, how could I forget this...

I DESPISE okra!

I like most all vegetables I guess. I never ate a rutabaga so I don't know about that one. I like cabbage but only raw in slaw, hate it cooked. I also will only eat okra fried or pickled. I won't eat cooked greens of any kind. I am not real fond of brussel sprouts, but I would eat them. Beets only pickled, no other way.

Okra-I believe one of the worst things you can do to a person is strip them down naked and make them pick Okra in the hot humid Summer sun..Talk about itchy.

argghghh

Bring on the fresh veggies. I like them all !
Lois

I don't like asparagus shoots that are too old or okra.

However, I have been known to eat raw cabbage, cabbage stalks, and turnips / rutabaga. As a child, I would eat raw potatoes, but found those can give you a stomach ache if not chewed well.

Gee, Nan, did that happen to a lot? rofl

Fizz, I will pass your tip on to my mom, she just loves rutabagas! She accidently stole one from a store one day, it rolled into her purse in the cart and she didn't notice until she got home. She went back to the store to pay for it and the manager tried to give it to her, but she was too mortified by what she had done and insisted on paying for it. If I remember right, it was .39 cents! lol

I've never had parsnips or rutabagas so not sure if I dislike them. I'm not real crazy about turnips but don't intensely dislike them. I'd have to say Okra is something I can't stand. I had to pick too much of that prickery stuff when I was young. It's just a nasty mean vegetable! lol

I'm mentally strolling through the produce section and can't come up with anything else I despise....of course, some things aren't my favorite but okra seems to be all alone on the top of my Ick List.

Well Nan is only half right the rest of the story is to make you stand in a hot kitchen and butcher.....er cut up the okra, roll it around in cornmeal and then freeze it so you can have LOTS of it to eat when winter sets in........and you're still itchy!!

It would be easier to tell you what veggies I do like lol, I like corn and green beans, all the others are better if you don't cook them ;0)

I forgot to add I don't like lima beans. Don't like the taste or texture.

I love rutabagas but don't like turnips. They do look and taste different. Rutabagas are yellow and sweeter and turnips are white and more bitter.

I love parsnips, grow them myself which are better then in the store because they are fresher. I also love brussel sprouts, got hundreds from 9 plants last year. I ODed on brussel sprouts.
Clare

I don't like carrots or beets or parsnips or turnips. Love
okra!

HA!
Sorry guys when I posted that I was just home from my day with my Mom-running on no sleep LOLOL
But -gave you a good visual huh Flamey?LOL
\ What I meant to say is: I think a good torture device would be to make someone strip down naked be in the hot summer sun and have to pick it!

Had to pick it so much never naked though....HATE IT!

and then yes the next stage of torture is to have to cut the slimy mess up and roll it in cornmeal and then cook it -all the while still hot and itchy!
