cathygeha, When I married my first husband he liked a lot more vegetables than I did therefore I did try new ones then. The two that didn't work were tomatoes (migraines) and Brussel sprouts, just didn't like them. luvvinlife, That is great you know how to cook them. I'm not much of a cook and don't have the curiosity to teach myself. I think if I new more about cooking I might eat more different foods.

bbbearsmom, I canât blame you. I wasnât comfortable with it before then either. The funny part is that my first husband (her son) hated vegetables. When heâd have dinner at our house when we were dating, I wouldnât serve the rest of the meal unless he ate the vegetables. He brags to this day that itâs because of me that he eats them. cathygeha, Hysterical!!!!! đ¤Łđ¤Ł

We eat a ton of fresh organic fruits and veggies,mostly seasonal. Right now we've got great mangoes, grapes and oranges. And we have fresh sugar snap peas, English peas, Iacinto Kale and Rutabaga for a soup. Oh, and purple broccoli and baby spinach and baby salad mix

As a child the only vegetables I couldnât stomach were cooked tomatoes and canned asparagus. All of our vegetables except for salad fixings were canned. When I married my mother-in-law taught me how to shop for and cook fresh vegetables. 25 years later I attended ICE with hopes of becoming a caterer or personal chef. There I learned so many different ways to use vegetables that I fell in love with all of the vegetables that I thought I didnât like. I made my children at least taste everything on their plates to get to know new foods. I found myself telling them the same thing my mom told me. âYou canât say you donât like what youâve never tastedâ. My daughter doesnât like vegetables. My son loves them. So I think itâs both nature and nurture cathygeha ,đ
Fascinating! I hated some foods as a child but as I matured (and it took awhile) I learned to love some I used to hate. We had an Auntie Fern rule (friend of my mother's who ran a home for orphans - or boys home - or something for awhile) that said you had to have a "no thank you helping" of one or two bites of everything on your plate. Some were harder to swallow than others!

I have heard of allergies and sensitivities to food so imagine you mus thave one to tomatoes. I like fresh well cooked brussel sprouts now BUT found them disgusting as a teen (onions and other things, too) and bought some in a tin a few years ago and had to throw the slimy stinky things out

cathygeha, I will put cans of chopped stewed tomatoes in my soups and stews and them that way. The tomatoes don't seem to bother me when they have been cooked. Years ago someone said that often if something bothers you when it is fresh you'll be okay eating it after it is cooked. I don't do well with fresh ice cream like some of the fancy shops will have, break out in a rash. Commercial ice cream from a grocery store is fine.

Interesting...with the fresh ice cream I wonder if it is the eggs or raw eggs...I know that my recipe for ice cream from Ben & Jerry used sweetened condensed milk and cream as did one in an old Fannie Farmer cookbook and had no eggs.

I wonder if it is the eggs or raw eggs I remember at the time it was happening I thought it might have been the fresh eggs, or just the idea that everything was so fresh.
