brussel sprouts tried again after 30years. put half in my mouth, looked down at my plate and there was half a slug in the remaining piece of sprout. i took this as a sign that i shouldn't eat them again! Try parsnip roasted with apple and a little onion. with so many foodie websites, the opportunities are endless to try different ways of re trying previously disliked foods.

Because vegs are so good for you I teach myself to like the ones I don't naturally love, asparagus was the hardest for me to get to like. I'd honestly rather eat raw celery stuffed with cheese than choc cake.

Brussel sprouts are getting a hard time here!
Finely slice, then fry off chopped bacon, garlic and add sprouts, cook until soft, add a pot of cream and black pepper and top with melted cheese - so bad for you but so yummy! ! !
We should ban all veggies that are imported and only eat kiwi grown (apart from bananas! ! ! )

To all you brussel sprout haters. I was one of you and then one day a couple of yeas back I tried one again. They are devive. They have gone from being my least favourite vege to my most favourite. I reckno my lovley Mum overcooked them slightly! I boil them, braise them, sweet and sour them, coleslaw them, steam them, slice them... . the coolest thing is they are my daughters favourite vege too. SHe can't get enough of them. So my advice is try them again! !

oops - I typed too fast. In order corrections are: Yeas = years, devive = devine, reckno = reckon, SHe = She. Sorry!

What a bunch of vege snobs - nothing wrong with frozen vege or tinned for that matter. Whose got the time to be shelling peas.
Apart from sprouts which make me gag - I like all vegetables. The trick to brussel sprouts is not to over cook them - I use them a lot in stir frys there yum when they're still crisp. Roast parsnips are delicious

Are you all from up NOrth? Parsnips and brussel sprouts need a good frost on them. They are sweet and delicious down here in frost country.

Swede! Can't get past memories of MIL's swede boiled to sludge then slopped in a watery mess onto plate - almost every winter meal with Surprise peas and dessicated potato. Have have it done in more palatable ways since but the memories are just too strong.

In the US mid-west they leave their parsnips under the snow to winter over... 'sweet and delicious' is an understatement!

There is only 1 vege that should be totally banished from this earth and that it the nasty, yukky, disgusting CUCUMBER. Who ever invented it should have been put to sleep at birth! !

Can't think of a single vegetable I don't like. Maybe rotten corn which is a Maori delicacy? But then it's the smell I don't like, have never actually tasted it!

Celery and asparagus. I'm not convinced either were ever meant for human consumption.

CHOKO CRISPS Have just spotted this recipe in a 1950s Panmure Plunket cookbook:
Peel chokos and cut in four. Boil for ten minutes then strain. Dip choko pieces in beaten egg and grated cheese, fry in deep fat until golden brown.

I agree with Cauliflower, the only way to eat that is with cheese sauce, and raw celery (my family eats it raw with dip! ), juck, I prefer cooked celery. But I love brussel sprouts, I grow them every year.

Brussel sprouts & broad beans are my fav veges. Hate pumpkin, swede, turnip , kumara & parsnip unless it's mashed with carrot. At boarding school as a kid, they used to boil the cabbage until it was pink. It's a wonder I still eat it!
