Vegetables & Salads.....Yuk!

GPK26

Ever since I was a child I absolutely hated vegetables and salads to the point where eating them made me feel sick.

With some it was the texture and with most it was the taste.

As a grown adult, I still cannot bear to eat veg or salad with a few exceptions being carrots (they have to be boiled beyond recognition!) and the odd leaf /tomato here and there (as long as in something like a burger). I don't have a problem with chopped tomatoes in a lasagne (no mushrooms thank you) or a chilli (no kidney beans).

To be blunt, I'm a right pain in the backside when it comes to food when veg or salad are involved.

There are many other no no's such as most types of fish (sampi and believe it or not, calamari I love). Live, kidney, the list goes on.

I would love it if I wasn't so fussy. I'd really appreciate the nutritional value of veg in particular, but I just cant do it.

Do other community members have similar dislike / hatred of veg & salad?

  • As a child, I absolutely detested vegetables and salads. If I had a roast dinner, my plate would consist of meat and gravy without all the usual trimmings. I had absolutely no problem eating chips, but it wasn't until my late teens that I began to enjoy eating roast potatoes, jacket potatoes, or boiled potatoes.

    It wasn't until I became a mother in my early twenties that I felt able to eat and enjoy things like peas, carrots, sweetcorn, etc. I'm now in my late forties and will eat sandwiches containing lettuce and cucumber, but would struggle to eat salad.

    Due to high cholesterol,  I am trying to make more of an effort to switch to a healthier diet, but it's not easy when so much of what I enjoy food-wise falls into the category of beige food.
