I hate it too. One of the many vegetables I'd hide in my napkin so my Mom would think I ate it.
Today though, I'll eat it raw. The one I hated was lima beans. I would hide the lima beans one by one under the edge of my plate when my parents weren't looking, but then when my Mom cleared the table there would be a circle of lima beans on the table.  Much frustration, Larry

Lima beans are disgusting...the texture is just gross.

we had bad experiences with sprouts in my house, my dad for some reason was strict with eating sprouts, especially with my oldest brother because the doctor kept having a go at my parents because they said he should be eating more, so my brother would have to sit at the tables for hours sometimes crying until my mum would sneak downstairs and eat them for him, i used to sneak mine to the dog mostly or hide them in mashed potato, my dad always got moody at dinner time, or mornings

I can't remember how I felt about them back then but I must admit I particularly love some of the vegetables often considered grossest - lima beans and b sprouts at the top of the list.

Lima beans are nasty, but broccoli is fabulous, sometimes. This is not very lady like, but I'm with Mark on the problems caused by broccoli. The issue with me though is that there is no "release" of the gas in any way, shape or form. I just curl up in the fetal position and wait out the pain. I can't believe I just admitted that to a room full of strangers  You are all now officially my closest friends
