1. Onions. Not a flavor issue...I cook a lot and I love to cook with onion. It's a texture thing. So when I cook with onion (say in chili or chowder) I chop the pieces up HUGE so I can pick them out of my bowl. I've tried chopping them up tiny, hoping they'll disappear into the dish, but they never do. All it takes is one "crunch!" between my teeth and the dish is done for me. But my husband loves onions, and he loves my new chopping-them-huge method because when I fish them out of my bowl I just put them in his.
2. Brussels sprouts. Sweet niblets, I've tried. Oh, how I've tried! They are my husband's favorite vegetable, and so I have tried dozens of times. And every time I will eat two or three and then ignore the rest. I just can't deal with that dirty-sock flavor.
3. Raw celery. I can't deal with the fibers in it, or the chlorophyll-green taste. I haven't tried it in years and don't plan to any time soon! :-)
You know the saddest thing? I LOVE mushrooms. Love them. But my husband had a bad experience with them as a child, and now he can't even see or smell them being cooked. So I never get to cook with them! Boo hoo. Oh well, when I go out for pizza I get mushrooms every time!
