Taking a walk throught the produce aisles I was amazed at the variety there was. I didn't use to like veggies at all, now there are some I really like and there are some that I still can't stand. Here's how they stack up, on a 1-5 scale. One being the worst and Five being the best.


Corn: My all time favorite. There has never been a time when I said "I really don't like corn." On or off the cob, creamed or otherwise, it's just fantastic!
Rating:

Green Beans: When I was in my younger days these where the only green veggies that my parents could get me to eat without a fight. Unfortunately when french-cut they frightened me because I thought they were little snakes. I've gotten over that now. (Altho I'm still terrified of snakes)
Rating:

Brocolli: Never been one of my favorites, but as I've gotten older and discovered Chinese food, I've found that it's not all that bad. Away from stir-fry it's not the best but it's passable. Never but the frozen kind because it's mostly stem. I've never liked that you have to buy two feet of stem to get a few flowers.
Rating:

Green Peas: This is another veggie I used to like until a traumatic childhood expierence (I won't go into that here). That combined with the fact that my parents bought Leseuer (or however you spell it) peas didn't help much. I developed a distaste for "Sewer" peas. Now however I enjoy the frozen kind you mostly get in TV dinners. Go figure.
Rating:

Cabbage: Co-ingredient of the infamous Corned-beef and Cabbage. The one dinner that I refused to eat and my parents actually agreed to make me something different, a major victory for a 8 year old. Now it's tolerable if it's stir-fried or hidden in an egg roll. Other than that keep it out of my sight.
Rating:

Squash: Take "squash" to mean all varieties of squash. Yellow squash, zucchini and any other of this family. There is nothing good I can say about this line of veggies. The only time I could possibly tolerate it would be stir-fried up with a lot of other sauces and stuff.
Rating:

Green Bell Peppers: I would love to go back into time and squish the very first green bell pepper plant so it could not spawn. This is one veggie that I will absolutlely refuse to eat. I hate the taste and it contaminates everything it comes near. In a word:
UGH!
