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?

  • I can eat a salad but it has to be made to my own tastes. Lettuce with spring onion finely sliced over it is okay, cheddar cheese, a boiled egg and red pepper with some ham and that’s it. The ham must have no fat, Salad fruit and veg on its own is pointless. Tomatoes are okay from tins and used in cooking, Sauces or soup. Actual tomatoes or cucumbers are like eating slugs. 
    Vegetables likes are peas but only petit pois, cabbage with mash is fine along with roast potatoes and fine French beans. I can eat carrots in a cottage pie but prefer them to have been tinned, that way they taste of nothing and have no texture left. I can still remember Sunday roast as a child, it was the low point of every boring Sunday, the veg would be put on to cook from mid morning, mother would get up early to put the meat on, it was never undercooked!
