[debm55]

beans. I would push them to the side.How about you?

[UpInArms]

1. Canned asparagus

Sorry, that was not on your option list

[debm55]

5. That's okay UpInArms.

[get the red out]

2. Lima Beans

But I love them now! My tastes totally changed when I grew up!

[EYESORE 9001]

4. In my childhood, I abhorred the biggest Lima beans

I think they’re also called by another name, but the biggest ones were quite repulsive to me.

7. Ford Hook

I think those limas are called Ford Hook lima beans.

9. Thank you very much, get the red out. That is interesting.

[EYESORE 9001]

11. I had a special name for them in my childhood

Nasty MFers
I had a potty-mouth even then.

[debm55]

6. Thank you very much, get the red out. Though, I have to say , I still don't like them

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Pickled beets

It took a long stretch well into adulthood for me to realize that beets weren’t pure poison. I love ‘em now, but back then, I would have sooner eaten a June bug than a bite of beets.

8. Thank you very much, EYESORE 9001. As a child I really liked Harvard Beets. They were little cubes of beets in some type

beat sauce.

10. Ugh Lima Beans... still hate 'em

Little packets of bland mush.

Funny story... I used to slip them off the plate and give them to the dog under the table when nobody was looking. One night after dinner, as we were all in the living room watching tv, the dog came in and puked up all my lima beans right in front of everyone!! OOPS busted!!!

12. We never had mixed veggies. I'm not even sure Del Monte HAD canned mixed veggies.

I didn’t eat lima beans, and I threw up the one time we had Brussel sprouts. Oddly, I like Brussel sprouts now, but roasted, not boiled or steamed.

[IbogaProject]

13. Potatoes

I used to gag from the texture of mashed or baked potatoes. I got over it in adulthood. My Mom had it from Beans like baked beans.

[pandr32]

14. We never had them at all.

Our frozen vegetables were peas or corn, and perhaps frozen spinach in paper blocks, and the rest were fresh and cooked. To this day, as an adult, I have never bought frozen mixed vegetables. Just in case you were including canned, the only canned vegetable we ever had was creamed corn. I was born in Canada and my mother's parents were both from England so that British influence was definitely a factor.

15. Olives.

At 85 I still don't like "em.

[democratsruletheday]

16. I'd eat ANY veggie as a kid as long as it wasn't....

Lima beans, Brussel sprouts or beets. Same holds true today.

[sheshe2]

17. It didn't work that way in my house.

You ate what was on your plate or had to sit there until you did, end of discussion!

[AllaN01Bear]

18. brussel sprouts . bleh

[TommieMommy]

19. Don't like lima beans or asparagus or beets

[mvd]

20. Agree about lima beans

Still don’t like them. I also would have ignored asparagus.

[catbyte]

21. Lima beans, canned green beans, and canned peas.

I love fresh and frozen beans and peas, but canned ones are just evil.

[surrealAmerican]

22. "Mixed vegetables" was far too adventurous for our household.

(I suspect my father wouldn't eat them.) I really disliked canned yams and beets. Actually, I'm still not fond of canned vegetables in general, except beans and artichoke hearts - I like those.

It seems like we ought to have had more fresh or frozen vegetables available back in the day, but we didn't.

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. Lima beans

I tolerate them now.

[electric_blue68]

24. Easier for me to say what veggies I Would eat😄...
