Just wanted to point out that in small amounts, vegetables can be actually quite tasty! Understand that I am looking at this from the standpoint of a childhood where vegetables were the French Fries at McDonalds. The ketchup allowed me to get a second veggie, sort of. And of course, the pickle was once a cucumber.
As a kid, I could eat green beans, corn, carrots, mashed potatoes, and that was about it.
Once I got to college, salads with cucumber got added, and celery in my tuna pitas gave a crunch.
However, if choosing between a plate of lasagne or a plate of broccoli, the lasagne would get picked, first, and seconds would be any lasagne that was left over.
Trying this Five Bites(tm) non-diet though, I have found that the bitter taste of califlower, asparagus, broccoli, or Brussels Sprouts is actually something that I can look forward to. Raw squash is actually quite yummy, too. Since I pause between bites, the flavor of the Broccoli mellows out from bitter to just tangy, and becomes quite tolerable.
1. Any other veggie hating folks out there that have "converted"?
2. Any other veggies that might be tasty straight out of the box that I have not mentioned?
3. Any list for benefits per calories out there for veggies?
4. Any veggies that I should avoid?
Just curious...
