Black Olives:
A little story. As a youngster I saw a commercial for black olives. They made them look so good so I made Dad get me some. I opened the can and popped one in my mouth and about gagged. These things were nasty. Since then I've steered clear of black olives. I'd still rather eat them than green bell peppers.

Green Olives:
I've been wonderng, is the olive a vegetable or a fruit? You don't find them in the produce section they come in jars or cans. I really dig on Green Olves but I hate the pimento they stick in the pit-hole. I pluck them out and Denise laughs at me. She doesn't like green olives.

Collards:It was noticed that I had forgotten to put collards on the first produce ratings page, which was surprising for a southern boy like myself. I will now remedy that. I actually like collard greens, but only if they are doused in vinegar hot sauce. This is one of those veggies that I'm surprised that I like.

Kale:A bit of trivia, Kale is extremely high in calcium. Denise has started adding this to the beef stew and it doesn't change the taste at all. In fact it really doesn't seem to have much taste whatsoever. Who knew..

Eggplant: Yech! I vaguely remember being forced to try this dish o' nastiness way back in my youth. All I remember is that I hated it! With my new, refined taste there is the possibility I would like it, but I don't feel like risking it.

Red Bell Peppers: Some of you may remember that Green Bell Peppers are the worst thing ever grown on this planet. I'm feeling a little more charitable about the red variety. I still won't eat large strips of them but I can handle it if they are included in a stir fry or some such. Diced small I will even eat them.
