And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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?

I mean, I wish I liked broccoli, as it is one of those mega-good-for-you veggies, but it literally makes me gag.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sounds like you're a supertaster, Frank.

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).

Do the permutations of that phenom vary from person to person? Because there are a lot of pungent vegatables that I do like - peppers (bell types and hotter varieties), for instance, and all the lillies (garlic, leeks, onions, etc.). I know my first encounter with salsa that had fresh cilantro had a "who put the dish soap in the salsa" component, but I've since come to like the taste (it no longer tastes soapy to me).
