I've never found that I need to go through all the hassles of elective office to not eat broccoli. I just say, "no, thanks, I don't want any broccoli."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

“Not dead yet!”
Without cilantro, cumin, or green pepper, Cuban cooking just isn't right.
The only foods I have any real objection to are lemongrass (has to be used sparingly) and watermelon. Hate the texture, hate the non-taste.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am not a fan of green peppers either, but I can deal with them if the food is tasty enough and I'm hungry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The other food I really can't eat is mint-flavored stuff. Fresh mint leaves are OK, if used sparingly, but I cannot stand mint candies or anything like that.

Because books.
Oh, I LOVE peppers of any color (bell peppers, not spicy ones) and I love broccoli, too! Carrots are my problem. Raw they're ... sort of edible, especially if shaved into thin curls, but cooked they make me really nauseous.
Oddly, I have no strong feelings about cilantro.

wheras I like cilantro. and broccoli. and green peppers (also red and yellow and orane sweet peppers too). Also like chili peppers. Very few foods I don't like. I don't like sea urchin. I don't like geoduck. Offhand I those are my only "noes" when it comes to food, though there is a larger number I don't want much of.

Cilantro is fine, if you can cook in the first place. But it's not for rookies.

I didn't think I liked any peppers, but then a friend had fresh red and yellow peppers to dip in hummus, and they were so good and sweet and tasty! So I have to reevaluate my feelings on peppers.

I feel that way about spearmint. I mean, I'm not wild about mint stuff, but I can eat altoids or a peppermint candy. However, my aversion to spearmint is such that I can't even talk to someone who is chewing spearmint gum, the smell makes me ill.

not your mom's socks.
Loves cilantro (sorry Sparky) and avocados. And peppers. Anything but okra.
