You like okra?
I like it in Southern foods like gumbo.
What I don't like is: lima beans. Blech. Hate the texture. Also dislike garbanzo beans for similar reasons. (But eat hummus by the bucket. Garlic and lemon fixes everything.)

Peanuts are not nuts, so they may not ping the nut people. They're legumes.
Eh, taste and usage-wise, they're nuts. They won't ping a nut allergy (or vice versa), but in culinary terms peanuts are closer to pecans than to lima beans.

I love all nuts. I can't think of any that aren't delicious. I probably could not identify many by taste, but I would eat them happily. Even almonds, to which I am mildly allergic, are yummy until the fever kicks in. Possibly more yummy than the others, for they are the forbidden nut. Mmmm.
I read somewhere that pecans are supposed to relieve menstrual cramps, so I've been buying them more lately. I think I picked up a can last time I was at Target - there were lots.

Love lima beans! Especially fresh ones from the market. Lima beans and tomatoes were my favorite foods when I was a kid. (a weird kid, natch)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm mostly neutral to nuts but I roasted some pecans in the oven the other day-- they were remarkably good.

-t and I are as one on this, down to the almond allergy.
I do hope we're not one on the whole trying to cough up my lungs thing I've been doing this morning, because that's less fun than you might suppose.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Lima beans and brussels sprouts = big-time yuckiness.
I had stuffed okra once that was really good, but other than in gumbo, I haven't enjoyed it since. My veggie likes are of the pedestrian type--bell peppers, peas, green beans, corn (and yes, to me it is a veg, not a starch!), carrots, celery, onions, but no tomatoes or cauliflower.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My lungs are staying obliging in my chest. I'm sorry yours are not so well behaved, Lee.
