Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Superman has his kryptonite and linda has her celery. Now we know her weakness! hahaha But back to forced foods... My parents did that to me with spinach, onions, and green peppers; oh, and don't forget lima beans. But the weird thing is, i love all of them now! Hard to believe i would have little pickie-piles of discarded veggie bits on my plate... if i saw an onion, i picked it out and into the pile it went. *lol* Now spinach, well, my mom just cooked it into a gross slimey pile that reminded me of a cow-pie; sure smelled like one, too. First time i had it cooked right i loved it though. Celery: hated it as a child, but love it now. Remember that ad jingle " Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee! " ? Well, i thought they were singing, " nobody doesn't like celery " ....and i would get so angry with those TV people because i didn't like celery and i knew i wasn't alone in this! *lol* No fan of cooked beets, ~ pt ~ Although I can accept talking scarecrows, lions and great wizards of emerald cities, I find it hard to believe there is no paperwork involved when your house lands on a witch. ~ Dave James ~~~*~~~*~~~> " PuterWitch " <puterwitch Re: Re: [recipe] Herbed Cheese Dip Re: Celery yeah ya know, I don't hate any vegetable. The only veggie I don't like is okra (hush Donna) But I could still eat it. Some people hate things I have noticed because they were forced to eat them as a child.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Love the Sara Lee/Celery! That is a hoot and how many times did all of us discover over the years how many things we misheard. I love this one though. Especially since it is about " celery.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Ha ha ha, PT. Cute, about the " celery " ! I was made to eat everything on my plate and would sometimes (well, okay OFTEN) sit at the table lonnnng after everybody else had arisen--because I just couldn't bring myself to eat squishy, gray-green, English peas. Sometimes I would gag when forced to put them into my mouth <shudders thinking about it> and swallow them. We children had to eat everything. My younger brothers were more successful in swallowing the nondesirables whole, washed down with icetea. Sometimes I could do that, sometimes I couldn't. And I wasn't very subtle about it either. To this day, I can't abide canned green peas. I do like frozen ones, howsomever, as long as they too are not cooked to death. I also cannot stand beets in any arrangement. But! I loathed summer squash as a child, and now love it. I also hated greens (collards, turnip, & mustard greens) and love them now; their smell while cooking is a sort of culinary perfume to my nose. :>) I made a green soup the other day when I was very ill with a bad cold and it was sooooo good! And I am convinced it helped me get well. Take one pkg. frozen turnip greens with diced turnips, one pkg. mixed broccoli and cauliflower florets, and 1 pkg. frozen corn--and put them in a pot. Pour boiling water, just enough to cover, over all. Cook on medium high until they just begin to boil, and then lower the heat to medium. Cook until just tender. Season with soybutter and some salt if desired. (I did, and yummy! yummy! it was) Serve. Makes about 4-6 servings, maybe a little more. My hubby and I ate it all up within ONE day, so can't quite be sure about the number of servings! Ha ha. You could also add a jar of red peppers, drained, for a festive, Christmassy look. Trying to think of other vegetables I really dislike. I don't know if rhubarb counts as a vegetable. It's more like a fruit, I suppose; used as " pieplant " up North. Boy, that stuff is sooooo sour! I can't stand it either. It's kind of like beets, if I think about it. <g> Red and slimy. OOOOH! But beets are sweet.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 There are people that actually eat canned peas? OMGoddess, we must capture them and retrain them.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 are you kidding??!! OMG my 8 year old daughter and me, we LOVE canned peas, I sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil, garlic powder, and sea salt and pepper. She even takes them to school in her thermos and puts up with other kids' " ewwww's " cause she likes them that much, LOL. And canned asparagus, um, sauté that with 2 cloves of chopped garlic, and a small onion coarsely chopped. sauté the onion and garlic a bit first, then add the asparagus (drained) and sauté a few minutes, it's a yummy treat! and it's way nutritious too!
