Oh, I love all those vegetables. Cooked, raw, however.

I have a loathing for rutabagas and turnips that's only rivaled
by my dislike of liver. Okay, liver's worse.

To each their own, of course, maybe I have some rutabaga
tasting gene that makes them taste horrid to me. Like Jill said,
my mother would put them in beef stew disguised as potatoes, oh
that moment when you realized it wasn't what you expected. Blech.
