People who don't like seafood = CRAXY

Hell, I know that. I'm from Maine and I don't like seafood (nope, not even lobster). Partly taste, partly smell and a whole lot of texture issues.

I mean, I wish I liked broccoli, as it is one of those mega-good-for-you veggies, but it literally makes me gag. A lot of things in that particular family of veg do (brussell sprouts - those vile balls of nasty - being one of the other big offenders).

I always forget that I like seafood as much as I do. I did have sushi for lunch, but it was light on the fish, actually.

Upon further inspection, the main problem with this brown rice sushi is that brown rice is WAY TOO STICKY. The rolls are sticking together and unrolling when I pick them up. Chaos!

So those would be "Loki rolls" then?

The trees AND the stems?

Because when sitting small children I find most can tolerate one or the other.

With the trees it's all in the flavor; with the stems, it's the texture AND the flavor. If it's basically ground up and in something (like a stuffing for chicken breasts), I don't gag, but I can taste it and I don't like it at all. I can even taste it if I eat just the beef in beef & brocolli, because the flavor's worked it's way into the sauce.

Does raw or cooked make a difference? Overcooked broccoli can kill at twenty paces, but when I was a kid, cooked at all made me choke.

Though come to think of it, I don't think I liked any vegetables cooked then.

Sounds like you're a supertaster, Frank.

Does raw or cooked make a difference?

Cooked is definitely worse, but, like cauliflower I dislike raw intensly as well. I'm definitely down on a lot of cooked veggies that I do like raw, though (carrots, for instance).
