Mmmmm, garlicky peas.
How to get green things in the stomach of someone who hates vegetables:
Microwave frozen peas in container with lid. When done, put in generous helping of butter/margarine/olive oil/bacon grease/whatever. Shake vigorously until butter/margarine/whatever dissolves and coats peas. Add a shit-ton of garlic and shake some more. Serve with lots of salt and pepper.
Yes, I know I'm a picky eater, and I know I've been spamming LJ today. (Chalk the latter up to having my computer back.) But... mmmmm, garlicky peas. So good.
Peas, corn, carrots, and certain not-mushy potato recipes are still pretty much the only vegetables I'll eat on their own. Onions and bell peppers are okay in stir-fry or otherwise cooked. Have consumed baby spinach and heavily curried cauliflower without having the "urgggghhh" reaction, though I'm not sure I'd willingly include either in my cooking.
I have an inexplicable, gut-deep aversion to tomatoes and mushrooms. Yeah, I don't know why either.
What can I say, I have weird food allergies and was practically raised to be neurotic about food ever since I was little. I'm trying to get over it--there are random whole categories of food that I'd never tried until recently, like soup, and I'm slowly discovering what I like and what I really just can't freaking deal with. It really doesn't help that some kinds of produce give me an itchy feeling in my throat that feels a lot like an incipient anaphylactic reaction--I think it might be pesticides, but I'm not sure, I'll have to experiment with organic produce.
