I'll eat most veggies, but I'll refuse green-beans. I'll take a bite or 2 of them off of someone's plate a couple times a year just to make sure I still hate them.

>>10698151
Same except for me it’s lettuce and cabbage

I just hate their texture and it’s usually freaking dry but I’ll eat them in soups at the very least. Never in sandwiches or burgers

>being a grown up means forcing yourself to eat disgusting shit you dont like

This is how I know OP is a child

>>10698171
a few things you dislike is totally fine but being a picky eater is for children. also if you're an adult and you say that you don't like onions you're basically announcing that you're retarded

>>10698171
Found the child, vegetables are literally delicious. What do you eat? Crackers?

>>10698171

>crohn's disease
Fuck you OP.

>>10698171
dont eat for 4 days and then tell me veggies taste bad.

fasting cures your fucked up taste so quick. fruit is now my desert and if i take more then 1 scoop of icecream i get nausea's.

>Why is this a thing?
They probably didn't have parents or guardians that knew how to cook, or themselves had shitty palates and passed that on to their children. I could never understand why people complained about things like broccoli or brussel sprouts.

>>10698380
this.
you can fuck up all kinds of food if you prepare it badly, but some of them feel good to your brain anyway because they are full of salt/sugar/fat
badly prepared vegetables have little going on for them in terms of instant gratification, so they are easily disregarded by those who can't be bothered to learn some basic cooking

>>10698130
Contrary to what your parents told you to make you eat them, you don't instantly start liking things when you become an adult.

And it's always men.

>>10698380
>>10698401
Some people can taste the bitter and sulfuric tastes of those vegetables, so obviously they fucking hate them. If you can't taste it then good on you, otherwise it's like eating farts.

Maybe I just don't like the taste & texture of celery, asshole.

Jordan Peterson only eats meat

>>10698544
There's like ten billion other veggies to choose from.

>>10698151
>>10698161
same
For me is cauliflower. I rly don't like its taste for some reason.

>>10698548
Not too many are common in the US though. Most people aren't going to move past what you see in the supermarket.

>>10698552
I promise you there's more than celery.

>>10698559
Yes I'm aware, I'm just saying there's not a lot of variety in one place, even if there's a ton worldwide. I'm not the anti-celery guy but I do hate it too, so what if you dislike it and also dislike brassica vegetables because of >>10698539 ? Your choices at the supermarket are basically going to be limited to carrots, turnips, and onions if you count those.

>>10698192

>>10698130
>grown adults using the word 'veggies'
i fucking hate americans

>>10698566
You still have tomatoes, cucumbers and mayby lettuce (I don't know if you count if as brassica vegetable). Also various peppers and olives.
I'm not from Burgeristan myself, but I'm pretty sure that all/most of these are videly avalible in the US

>>10698573
I always wondered if he actually finished that thing.

>>10698579
I count tomato as fruit and I believe lettuce is brassica. I forgot about cucumber though, so you've got that.
>Bell peppers
Now that one is just cruel, don't make people eat that.
>Olives
Mostly come pickled here, but they are a thing.

>>10698589
I'm not hudge fan of bell peppers myself (pickled are ok tier, tho), but I'm hudge fan of jalapenos, pepperonis and few other kinds of peppers. (which appeared few years ago in shops in my pepper illiterate country, i.e. Poland)

>>10698606
Never even heard of a pepperoni pepper, so I don't think we have those. We do have jalapenos here though. Not sure what their value is as a 'vegetable' is though, nutritionally. I use them decently often though.

>>10698151
are you me

>>10698130
>grown ass men

And women.

In fact, this phenomenon of adults refusing veggies is overwhelmingly an American thing.

>>10698650

>>10698130
I actually have a friend like this. Makes it seem like something is wrong with them.

>>10698852
One of my friends is this, stayed at his house once and was invited to dinner. His parents were actually impressed at me voluntarily putting vegetables on my plate (also drinking wine). Mind you, we're both in our mid 20s.
The mother asked my friend if he wanted some, he just want "nah" and she just reverted the whole thing like it's not even worth bothering about.

>>10698130
I don't eat pea's or corn, they are a fucking hassle to eat, I'm not chasing the little fucks round the plate that's effort to eat shitty tasting vegetables, if they tasted as good as broccoli, maybe but I'd rather eat broccoli and save my self the effort

>>10698940
Just eat peapods and corncobs instead.

>>10698130
>not liking veggies in the first place
Do people older than 10 do this? I can see disagreeing with a few, but not liking any?

Because those people think that for some reason, eating exclusively meat and shoving grease down your throat makes you manly. Also "DUDE BACON LMAO XD"

>>10698130
Only in america.

Onions are gross unless they're fried.

>>10698876
Does your friend basically live off burgers and hotdogs like mine? Or like a white bread ham sandwich. I mean, just very limited palate. He was over one time and I made a vegetarian dish and he was skeptical when he tried it but ended up loving it though left to his own devices just goes straight back to burgers...baka

>>10698940
>I'm not chasing the little fucks round the plate

Learn to use basic eating utensils then.

>>10698130
I don't like most forms of squash :(

>>10698130
ill refuse them if they arent prpperly cooked

Brussle sprouts are my kryptonite. If I just think about how the smell too hard I can start gagging like that fat bitch in the webm I keep seeing. Green beans, asparagus and broccoli are tasty as fuck though.

>>10698548
>grown ass men refusing any kind of veggies
>refusing any kind of veggies
>any kind of veggies
>ANY KIND
Captain autismo OP apparently thinks all adults must like every vegetable.

>>10698151
What's it like being a tastelet?

>>10699086
Not exclusively, but he's extremely picky to the point of it being ridiculous. For example, he refuses all sauce and condiments. So if he eats burgers and hotdogs it's literally just the meat and the bun with nothing else on it.

>>10699158
No, the OP obviously refers to degenerates who will not eat any kind of vegetable at all. Not that all adults must like all vegetables.

>>10698151
Green beans are extremely inoffensive, no strong tastes, easy to eat, goes with basically anything.
What don't you like about them, anon?

>>10698151
Try sauteing them with thinly sliced onion and garlic, right before the beans are soft, throw in a big splash of balsalmic and a pinch of salt, turn the heat up a bit. Let the balsalmic reduce to a glaze.

>>10698953
I do eat peapods, I sometimes eat other peoples cooking, usually around christmas or easter

>>10699087
I know how
>Piercing each pea delicately
>Smooshing the pea's into a paste
>Scooping and shovelling like a lower class serf or worse, an Australian
No, stop cooking shitty vegetables the pea and corn industry deserves to fail

>>10699320
Just trap them in sauce, mash potato, rice or whatever you can.

>>10698940
Don't be weak, add them to applesauce. Homemade of course, without the buckets of sugar added to store bought junk. Corn is delicious, and shouldn't be taken off the cob unless in a pot pie or in the form of elotes.

>>10699212
>>10699216
I've actually tried them cooked many different ways. A lot of people have suggested I've never had them fresh, which just isn't true as I used to grow my own despite not liking them (usually would give them away) and live in an area with plenty of access to fresh produce. I'm not sure what it is about the flavor that i find so repulsive, but I've never been able to get over it. With a lot of things, I grew into them as I aged, especially things like olives. Green-beans, not so much. No matter how I try to skew my brain to enjoy the flavor of them I just can't manage to do it.

>>10698130
I eat only beef, it's my only food. Healthy as a horse.

>>10701065
Weird, I mostly just pad out with green beans as they taste basically nothing to me, but are healthy.

>>10701077
>Healthy as a horse.
Wait until you hit 40.

>>10698380
Sprouts are shit but broccoli is good steamed or fried. Also nacho cheese and ranch if people really hate them.

>>10698332
>fasting cures your fucked up taste
>if i take more then 1 scoop of icecream i get nausea's.
>cure

There isn't a single vegetable I've eaten that doesn't taste good if cooked right.

I can understand manchildren deciding they dont like a vegetable, but there's always gonna be a good way to eat it.

>>10701189
Makes me wonder if it's one of those chemical differences in people that causes them to interpret flavors/smells differently. Kinda like how some people can't smell asparagus pee.
To me, they have a much deeper, somewhat musty flavor almost slightly sulfuric. Whenever they are in a dish I have they overpower everything else to me and that's all I can taste.

>>10701469
It's gonna be regional.

I was brought up in the north of england, where spring onions make your eyes water when you chop them and are difficult to eat raw. I moved to the south as a teenager and found that they barely taste of anything.

Same species, just different growing conditions I guess.

>>10698151
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditioned_taste_aversion

for me it's boiled peas

I loved the fuck out of broccoli and other stuff when I was a kid, I never got the 'vegetables are nasty' meme. I used to hate onions, but that was before I had had them cooked. Raw onions are still shit. I don't like beans either, but that's just because they don't really taste like anything to me. I'll have them if they're in something else, but not by themselves

>>10698587
No he died

>>10698650
Sad, but true. In the south where I live people act like it's some kind of conspiracy if you serve any veg other than potato, corn, iceberg lettuce, collard greens boiled for hours or green beans

>>10698130
Celery and lettuce can suck my dick.

>>10698130
ya they are called man children

>>10698130
Your mistake, was thinking they are grown men just because their bodies have aged.

>>10699158
>all adults must like every vegetable
Not OP, but I unironically believe that.

>>10698539
I hate this "supertaster" argument. Just because you can taste something, doesn't mean you hate it.

I have the gene and love a number of foods I'm supposed to hate, though I did have to acquire those tastes. It's like coffee.

>>10698545
Yeah and I'll bet he tells the guy to clean his room while he polishes his knob too.

>>10701450
>getting nausea's from a toxic amount of sugar is unnatural.

>>10698681
It's from a show about people with eating disorders. Something along the lines of she exclusively ate potato slices and cheese fried in an oily pan for 10 or more years and was so self conscious about it she wouldn't even eat in the same room as anyone else.

>>10698130
They're fucking gross. Meat and flour and eggs and sugar is affordable so why would I ever bother?

I don't like brussels sprouts or swedes (rutabaga).

>>10703108
>toxic amount
didn't realise Earth was actually Ghostville, Tennessee

>>10703911
>Ghostville, Tennessee
We changed the name to Jonestown after another famous dead-man.

>>10698130
I know a guy who is allergic to pretty much every veggie and only eats meat, starch and vitamins. Maybe these men have medical issues too?

>>10698496
I know a massively fat girl like this too.

>>10698589
Olives are also a fruit.

>>10698130
>mfw my 25 year old brother still picks all veggies off of food

He's a really picky eater but this is probably the most annoying thing he does

>>10698611
Poland anon might have meant pepperoncini peppers?

>>10699212
Not that anon, but I dislike them too. My favorite are brussel sprouts, pea pods, asparagus and tomatoes. It's either the blandness or the fact that my parents grew shittonnes of them when I was a kid.

My roommate is like this, except he's a massive twat about it. Any time I even mention something that contains vegetables of any sort, he'll say, "Ugh." and sneer. Meanwhile he's making a sandwich that is 15% white bread, 75% bargain bin bologna, and 10% store brand yellow mustard.

I made chicken alfredo from scratch one night (pasta and all), and he asked to have some. When he got his plate, he immediately drenched the entire thing in ketchup and inhaled it like a hungry dog in a butcher shop dumpster.

>>10698130
Trauma really, i never eat any form of nuts except as a snack because my kindergarten teacher made me choke a bowl of it

Medli best girl

>>10704418
>he immediately drenched the entire thing in ketchup

Believed you up until this point. Nobody puts ketchup on chicken alfredo.

>>10704525
>Nobody puts ketchup on chicken alfredo.

That's what I thought too. I was so shocked and disgusted I didn't know what to say. I haven't shared homecooked food with him since, and he hasn't asked. I think he knew that was disgusting.

He also puts barbecue sauce in macaroni and cheese, microwaves bargain bin fish sticks (which makes the entire house smell like rotten pussy), eats top ramen for basically every meal, even though he makes plenty of money, and the house is always well-stocked with other foods. The guy's an animal. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. How he's not dead yet with all of his sodium intake and lack of any other nutrition, I have no idea.

Sounds like you live with you typical millennial. Tell us more

>>10704598
The millennial meme is avocado toast. He wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole.

He basically only eats a few different foods, but they're all disgusting. He drinks milk instead of water and can go through an entire gallon in a day. We share groceries because we're all friends here, and he replaces what he drinks. However, it's really annoying to look in the fridge, see we have 3/4 of a gallon of milk, then go to make dinner with said milk at 6pm and have less than a half cup left.

His last grocery trip consisted of these items:
Bologna
Green Apple Gatorade
Milk
White bread
Slightly more expensive ramen (the kind that comes in a cardboard bowl)
A few of those trashy chuck-in-the-freezer cocktail pouches that are like, 2 bucks each.
Store brand hot dogs from the lowest-end store in the city
Hot dog buns from same store
Store brand pizza rolls

If it can't be cooked in the microwave or toaster oven, he won't buy it. The only time i've ever seen him actually use the stove was to boil a whole kielbasa.

>>10704622
>The millennial meme is avocado toast.
That's really only for hipsters. A small subset of millenials.

Millenials like nuggers, tendies, frozen pizzas, and ramen.

>>10704628
Don't get me wrong, i'm down to eat some frozen garbage on occasion if it's too hot to turn on the stove, but this guy literally won't eat anything else. I've offered to teach him to cook, but he doesn't want anyone's help with anything. He says it's not "manly." He also has an extremely warped sense of typical gender roles, but that's a story for another board.

>>10702119
Are potatoes/corn really considered vegetables, lol?

>>10698130
I'll eat the shit out of veggies but fruit can fuck right off.

>>10704418
