Loves okra, but asparagus is not my favorite. I do eat it, though. I
could do without green lima beans, and I love every bean and pea I have
tried. Except for that one. blech

I have to agree with the lima beans. I also hate raw celery, and was once
served boiled fennel bulbs in Italy, which was disgusting (YMMV). Never had
boiled okra, sounds yucky.

Have you tried getting organic green asparagus, cutting off the woody
end, sauteeing them slowly in butter untill tender and slightly
caramelized? Serve with a nice rib eye steak.

Sweet Potatoes, and/or Yams. I don't care if they're two different
things and people always mix them up. Mom says that even as a baby i'd
spit them out.

Every year, round X-giving time, i mention that i don't like them, and
someone always says "oh, because you haven't had them the way -I- make
them!! Nobody knows the RIGHT WAY. I know the right way to do them, and
you will love them I promise!". And every year, I try them to be fair.
And every year I discover that everyone prepares them the same way and
I still don't like them.

I haven't had okra, and i didn't like lima beans as a kid. I've been
meaning to try lima beans again, as I might like them now.

I like Okra in soups, and I like it dredged in cornmeal and fried.
Don't think I'd like it boiled.

There are not many foods that I have to force myself to eat altho'
several, like tripe, broccoli, boiled okra (who would make that?),
turnips and rutabaga, I will not choose willingly. I used to like liver
and kidneys but there are some people who are put off by the appearance
as I am with snails. I've tried them and the taste of several recipes is
actually pretty good.

i do that (not necessarily organic), but add a tablespoon or so of teriyaki
sauce near the end to make a nice glaze.

Same here. Not sweet poatoes though which I can tolerate (like my own
version best) but 2 other items. Cant abide liver (have 1 recipe only which
I think is 'ok' and it's chicken livers in small amounts). I can manage
brown rice, but don't really like it and the family refuses to eat it.

Like chicken livers, but keep catfish. That's another one that everyone says
'oh, you never had it the way _I_ make it! You will love it!!
Wellsir, no I don't.
I'm a grown-up now and I don't have to eat what I don't like

LOL - my son despises sweet potatoes - he, too, has hated them since he
was introduced to them as an infant. Forget the brown sugar, the orange
juice, the marshmallows (ick) and forget I tried to brainwash him one
year by telling him they were parsnips, fixed a different way. No sweet
potatoes at his house, that's for sure.

Ranch Dressing true Ranch Dressing is made with Mayo & Buttermilk.

Not soured milk.

stomachs etc.

Yes indeed. But I suspect they were referring to sour cream or
buttermilk.

Personally, I like to make my own fat free Ranch. I get a packet of the
powdered Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix and add that to TWO pints of
fat free sour cream.

Makes a great dip or dressing.

The instructions say to just add 16 oz. but I double that as it makes
for a MUCH less salty dip/dressing and it's plenty flavorful. I've
gotten good reviews on that when I've taken it to potlucks as a veggie
dip.

Calling it "soured milk" is a little simplistic, but yes, that's what it
is. After the fat is removed to make butter, the remaining buttermilk
is cultured with bacteria, which makes it "sour" (lactic acid):

My daughter, now 18, hated sweet potatoes since her first

a bit of them--esp. in tempura.

I'm not a fan either, but I can deal with small amounts of cilantro.
The way I feel about pesto is that it has WAAAAY too much basil for my
tastes.
