Well, you notice I put it in things that hide it and usually cook it down
fairly well. I never started eating raw onions till after i was 40. Now, I
love a juicy burger with a good slice of sweet onion. I'm not fond of kale,
it's too bitter but I like spinach and beet tops and chard. I like most
winter squashes but not summer squash and especially spaghetti squash.

I really think our taste buds change as we age.
