If you hated vegetables as a kid, did you end up liking them later on?

I absolutely hated vegetables as a kid. I did end up liking most of the veggies I used to refuse to eat, but I will continue to loathe mushrooms until the day I die. How about you?

Yes 27
Most, but there's still a couple I don't like 19
Some 12
No 11

    What is with everyone not liking corn :/? I never really thought of corn as a vegetable, they're so sweet! Nothing not to like about them.

      Corn is good "it's" just that people are too use to eating McDonald's every single day.People these days! they really suck.

    Ironically enough, there are fewer vegetables on my plate now than during childhood. I've only recently begun to try them again - Beets taste like sweet dirt, and I indeed have tasted dirt before. Our curiosity drives us to partake in some strange activities from time to time. :\

    I still loathe mushrooms, avocado and brussell sprouts. All of them make me throw up.

    Yeah, I was a very faddy kid. I wouldn't eat onions, peas, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, lettuce, cucumber, beansprouts, corn, water chestnuts, beans or bamboo shoots. Now I eat them all. Except carrots. Something about carrots does bad things to me. Bleargh!

    I love soup, and you can put pretty much anything in a soup. I don't like vegetables, but if they are in a soup,I will eat pretty much anything.

    believe it or not, its a biological thing. many children avoid plants because a damn long time ago, death from consuming poisonous plants was a real threat. Its kind of like how us humans avoid consuming bitter substances, like bleach, which is extremely basic and therefore poisonous.

    I personally have always liked vegetables. especially crunchy ones.

    I used to hate many vegetables, but I like most of them now. I still detest peas and corn, though.

        I have an update. Now that I've been a vegetarian for awhile, I've grown to love peas. :)

  • Broccoli.

    I hated it until a couple of years ago. But it still has to be cooked to death and preferably with some sort of cheese for me to like it.

      • Have you ever had it on pizza? It's actually pretty good and the leafy parts get a little crispy too. My mouth is watering now.

            my favorite quick dinner that can feed a whole family

            Mac and cheese (3 normal size boxes) make it, then mix in a cassorole dish with veggies, i normally have some combo, of broccoli, portobellos, pepper, spinich, tomatoe, maybe black beans.

            then shread cheese on top, i like hot habonaro cheese, so it bakes a crispy top

            bake for 10 to 15 (you have to change time depending on oven and amount you make) at 350F

            then you can serve with a topping cause i can be a lil dry, like thai chili paste or salsa. and enjoy

              Veggies in Mac n cheese is my favorite way to eat it. If you wanna be super unhealthy about it, add pepperoni salami corn peas and seasoning of choice. Delicious. Or sausage and peas.

    I never hated them as a kid, I just wasn't exposed to them most of the time. My eating habits aren't the best, I'm not fat but I'm not skinny either. Right now, I'll eat vegetable if they are served to me but I will always take the unhealthier option if it's possible.

    I don't know if I hated them as a kid, but I know I hate peas and corn. Mushrooms too if they aren't thinly sliced. Corn on the cobs fine and peas in a pod are fine though.

            If I'm lazy I like to saute red and green peppers and maybe sliced mushrooms and onion in one of my concoctions and put it over rice. Your mac and cheese casserole dish sounds good I like it Spicy. ;)
