Sorry babe, but I cannot agree...

If I've learned nothing else from this list, I've learned to respect the
individual tastes of others and not to FORCE my preferences on them!


I grew up literally having foods I hated shoved down my throat.

It's taken me years to learn to re-appreciate some of them as a result,
onions, garlic and peppers being some of those examples.

I still cannot stand bell peppers and I've given them a real try. Onions
on the other hand, I've learned to love providing they are COOKED. Raw
onions do not agree with my palate nor my digestive system.

Peppers vary. I used to hate salsa, now I love it but not if it's so hot
that the heat kills the taste buds. That's just silly. ;-)

I personally don't mind cooking to match someone else's tastes as mine
are varied enough to where I can find a compatible food...

It's wrong to force your tastes on others, especially children. All it
does is ruin food for them, and might even make them hate cooking due
to negative association.

Same goes for Significant others. My co-worker, Patricia, has learned
this. She is gradually getting her husband to be "braver" and helping
him to learn to enjoy stuff that he did not like before, simply because
it was not prepared properly.

Maybe one of these days I'll learn to like Bell Peppers, or even <gag>
Cilantro!
