    I did not like many vegetables at all as a kid.

    Tomato and onion are two of my favorites

      I’m pretty sure most of my vegetable phobia is being forced to eat them anyway as a kid. I love trying new foods, including vegetables, and new ways of preparing things from anywhere in the world, but vegetables, the way they’re always prepared here are just gross.

      I don’t know if tomatoes are a good example but I have an immediate reaction to want to spit them out if I accidentally get some. Yet I love a good salsa, pico, marinara, etc

      Broccoli is something i don’t even like touching

        I only ever had steamed or boiled vegetables as a kid and it was bland and mushy and unpleasant. Roasting vegetables changed everything for me.

          Yeah, I’ll second that. In general I strongly prefer uncooked vegetable to cooked (except of course obvious ones like potatoes), but I’ll eat roasted. I’ve even chosen to roast vegetables myself
