Of course you'd love vegetables shaped like dicks and balls. I bet you deepthroat cucumbers and your favorite fruit is banana.

>>9192442
Since I could eat solid food.

I'm 26 years old and I still hate vegetables. I just stuff em down first and eat the meat last since I know that I gotta eat my veggies.

>>9192442
I'm 30 and I still don't enjoy them.
The range of fruits and vegetables I like is extremely narrow.

I only eat...
>Vegetables:
Lettuce
Arugula
Tomato (only in a sauce or in pizza or hamburger)
Potato
Corn
Peas
Onion
Watercress

>Fruits:
Grapes
Orange
Tangerine
Watermelon
Apple
Cherry
Blueberry
Raspberry

That's it.
I refuse to eat any fruit or vegetable not on this list. I have tried them all and I don't fucking like them.

>>9192587
You can also add pumpkin but only in the form of puree mixed with cheese.

Prepared the right way almost every vegetable can taste really good, only shitty dumb spoiled brats dislike vegetables.

Thee aren't very many raw fruits and vegetables that I can eat, which is unfortunate because I really like eating them. When I eat too many I get a pain that I can only describe as heartburn (it really isn't). Carrots and broccoli for example trigger it after just one or two pieces. Even the stuff I can eat, like spinach, has a limit.

I always enjoyed vegetable, because me mum is a health fanatic who always buys the best quality food.

But then I hate at some friends' houses when I was a teen and I understood why the other kids didn't like veggie
>absolutely tasteless vegetables bought at the cheapest price in a supermarket
>generally boiled beyond recognition

It boils my blood thinking many of their moms were stay-at-home or half-time workers. Fuck, if all you have to do is clean up the house and cook there's no excuse for cooking like crap.
It should be considered child abuse to rape a child's palate and destroy his taste forever with that trench war-tier food.

>>9192728
So much this. Shitty food and especially junk food with lots of added sugar/fat/sodium literally destroy your taste buds. If you're used to burgers you'll of course find steamed vegetables boring because they're not aggressively raping your senses. Actually a massive problems of today's society.

>>9192738
Every time I see an obese child I'm stumped by the fact that it is somehow not acceptable for me to call child services on the parents.
Like, those fuckers are literally killing that kid. Obviously he didn't buy the food himself. Why is this shit not illegal, but beating your kid is.

>>9192442
I always liked them. I remember as a kid that I actually got offended when people assumed that Ididn't like them because I was a kid.

The only kids who don't like vegetables are the kids with lazy parents who feed their kids junk rather than cooking healthy home-meals.

>>9192442
I have a distinct memory of being 7 and thinking it was the dumbest plot line in the world that on some show all the main characters collectively agreed that broccoli was gross. I think they were being attacked by their biggest fears.

I still don't like the majority of them but I eat them anyway.

>>9192442
I never had a problem with vegetables. Fortunately my mother was a decent cook.

>>9192908

Yeah the broccoli is gross meme was retarded.

I could understand implying some vegetables were gross to children but I didn't know a single growing up who didn't like broccoli.

>>9192982
>Yeah the broccoli is gross meme was retarded.
It was because president #41 went on record saying he didn't like broccoli. That made it socially acceptable to shit on broccoli for a minute.

I'd say around 14-16, I used to hate all veggies except the standard: peas, potatoes, a few others.

It wasn't until i started learning to cook that I realized the importance of veggies, and how proper preparation makes them taste fantastic.

I always enjoyed my veg. Only exceptions being boiled spinach and brussel sprouts.

Always like eating broccoli and spinach for as long I can remember.

I thought it was strange when I saw a kid on tv not wanting to eat their beoccoli.

>>9193036

Eat your broccoli or no video games anon

I never understood the "broccoli/spinach are gross" meme until I had overcooked shit quality vegetables at school.
I suppose they overcook for security reasons, and badly prepare them for cost/time reasons, but some vegetables can survive these treatments better than others.

Chicory and Brussels sprouts have a taste that can be off-putting to children, but you're supposed to grow out of it with puberty.

vegetables have a bad mouthfeel

>>9193149
I never loved broccoli as a kid but it was never unpalatable. I did enjoy eating it though because I pretended it was tiny trees and I was a giant eating them

>>9193253
Also, spinach was what Popeye ate so I was down with that too. Carrots were Bugs Bunny. It did take me while to get into raw tomatoes though. I also thought guacamole was weird because of how bright green it was.

Always liked broccoli, chard, brussels sprouts, and most of the vegetables kids "aren't supposed" to like.
I take the stance that I'm not allowed to dislike any given ingredient or food. Specific food products, obviously, but not just "I don't like almonds" or whatever. Why would I limit my options?

>>9192701
Technically a fruit but w/e

>>9192587
I bet your fat ass would enjoy lychees, they're basically just candy.

I was a real picky eater when I was a young child, but started eating lots of vegetables probably somewhere around 12 years.

I've always liked them, but there were a few I had to warm up to, and very few I still don't like. Okra is disgusting unless it's in a gumbo and I've never been ambitious enough to give squash and eggplant a go.

Early 20s I guess

About 18 or 19, I guess. Recently entered my mid-20's and I'm almost a vegetarian at this point. Not really a health choice, and not an animal lover thing. It's just what I want to eat most of the time.

Had Brussel sprouts once they tasted like shit/werent cooked right. Either way I am fine with all other vegetables more or less so its no real loss.

I've liked most veggies since my teens, but I rarely ate them at home because my parents would just use shitty canned foods. Wasn't until I was 19 and was put in charge of cooking that I, and my family, began eating veggies properly.

>>9192442
Ever since I could remember I was able to enjoy a few vegetables but I was very picky.

>cold broccoli
>uncooked carrots
>green beans
>celery

Only vegetables I was exposed to that I liked, and the ones I didn't like were peas and limabeans.

>>9192442
Since I could eat. Nigga fruits and veggies are fucking good. Except for olives, cherries, and all melons. Fuck em.

I rather eat overcooked broccoli/spinach than aspargus or long beans or water cabbage

>>9192442
I hated basically every vegetable except peas, potatoes, and tomato sauce as a child. At 23 I can now enjoy pretty much any vegetable as long as it's genuinely fresh (or cooked from fresh) and doesn't have salad dressing on it. Also I still hate pickles and any other sort of preserved vegetable.

Honestly can't remember ever not liking vegetables.

I also don't have any strong dislikes in terms of food, obviously I'm not fond of certain things (shit tier peasant feed like chicken, ethnic """"food"""") but I can eat anything as long as its prepared well.

my parent's used to buy eskimo pies and my dad would always call them broccoli pies thinking it would make me not want to eat it but broccoli is awesome and pie is awesome so why wouldn't broccoli pie be awesome?

It took a while for me to understand why certain vegetables repulsed me. I figured out that a lot of the vegetables that I didn't like (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc) were all botanically related and that they all release sulphur when cooked. Now that I understand why I didn't like them, I just cook them differently and they're fine now. There are some stragglers that I don't necessarily hate, but aren't stuff that I order on their own like asparagus and artichoke. It just takes me wrapping my head around the ingredients (not just vegetables) and how they behave when cooked different ways.

Single digits as long as they were cooked a certain way. Broccoli had to be not soggy, carrots needed to be in a soup, etc.

i always liked stuff like broccoli and spinach, even when i was a little kid, and i still enjoy it now

likewise, i always hated shit like asparagus or brussels sprouts, and it hasnt changed, probably never will.

>>9192547
>I have to work so hard to resist sucking dick even vegetables trigger me

The reason why kids don't like them is because you are not supposed to separate the veg from everything else from the plate. Do any ov you just have a section ov sliced carrots on your plate? Why give children corn from the tin when they shud have them from the cob. Kids hate vegetables becauz their moms don't know how to cook. The vegetables they had at my school were the frozen kind and they were mushy and gross.

I always liked cream spinach.
Normal spinach too was okay, but I loved cream spinach since before I could remember. I'd have eaten it for every meal if I could.
Really never had a problem with vegetables.

>>9192442
I still can barely stomach any vegetable other than broccoli that's just been "steamed". Need it stir fried or atleast seasoned some what. Celery's the one I haven't been able to crack. The sweet, grassy taste is absolutely overpowering and I can't diminish it in the slightest no matter what I try.

they wouldn't just throw raw brocolli on my plate and tell me to eat it like some parents would

Always did, but I didn't know shit about nutrition until I got older.

You say that like you're a grown-up because you eat your vegetables.

How the fuck do you cook without them? You can hardly make anything without tomatoes, onions, and garlic.

The holy trinity of Cajun food? Onions, bell pepper and celery.

OP, how old were you before you grew up and liked some green beans, or corn-on-the-cob, or peas, or tomatoes, or even ate a salad?

There are these things called salads, sometimes people get hungry for them. I'm not sure you're familiar with the concept.

I ate most with little problems but now I devour vegetables. Salads and subs gotta be slammed with vegg. I probably piss off the subway person but Idgaf

Its a biological thing, its actually unnatural to like most vegetables as a kid.

Always loved veg, though as I've got older I love sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower WAY more than I used to, like, I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVE THEM now.
I'm not massively fond of courgettes or aubergine but I'll eat them because I love a good moussaka/chargrilled veg.
Mushrooms I'm not a fan of alone, but mixed in with some shit or on a pizza/mushroom soup... BANGING.
Asparagus is another one that I'm not too fussed about but I'll eat it.
I really don't like celery, never have, never will.

I loved vegetables as a kid but hate them as an adult. I don't know what happened.

I used to pretend broccoli was little trees I was eating like a monster.

my mom made me mushy peas with a dash of salt and carrots taste sweet to me, baby carrots are boss, steamed brussel sprouts are moist and fall apart in the mouth and are also kind of sweet, never had a problem with veggies

The stay at home moms are usually the ones that prepare the best food- since they have the time and creativity.

It's normal to not like vegetables. In real life, plants do not enjoy being eaten at all.

There's a specific plant for example that eventually poisons the caterpillars that chomp at their leaves.

Hell, the plant pandas eat are naturally poisonous.

That is why raw vegetables are a meme. Cook that shit and break down any dangerous chemical compounds through the cooking process.

I'll give a pass on vegetables that were traditionally used for medicine like onions.

>>9203197
Well, tomatoes used to be dangerous to eat after all. They are part of the nightshade family.

5 or so. BookIt is/was an incentive based program that bribed kids to learn to read with vouchers for free pizza at PizzaHut. The one by my childhood home also had a salad bar...which interested me more than the pizza for some reason. Salad is still my favorite thing to eat to this day oddly enough.

Are all picky eaters orphans or something? My parents would never let me get away with not eating something (especially something healthy) for "not liking it". In fact, if I said I didn't like, say, broccoli, they'd make sure to force feed me broccoli until I liked it.
