(34,189 posts)I live in the Southeast so I've had lots of fresh cooked okra offered to me. Since I was raised that it is rude to not at least try food, I generally take a tiny serving and try it. After all, maybe someone has found a new way to cook okra that makes it not disgusting. Unfortunately, I have not found a new way that I could stand.
Same for kale - I just can't deal with the bitterness of it. For a while I was a member of one of those farm things, where you subscribe and get a bag or two of vegetables direct from the farmers. The one I was a member of had a lot of kale so I tried for months every recipe to cook it I could find. No go on kale - it's just too bitter for me to deal with. In fact, most greens - collard, mustard - are too bitter for me to enjoy. I make an effort but just cannot eat them with enjoyment.
