Well I've tried, I really have ....

But have you tried Green superfood soup - leeks and onions plus kale & peas and some parsley or other herbs, boiled and liquidised with a good dollop of creme fraiche and pepper to taste - Yum!
... and courgette cake with home made lime curd filling and cream cheese topping ... to die for!
I do have some pet hates though - radishes, all offal, snails, eels and randomly pears (it's the texture! - ugh!).

I absolutely love kale!

I don't mind kale - it can be a bit woody though.

My absolute worst is Aubergine (or eggplant). Its completely tasteless and has the colour and consistency of something produced by a serious chest infection!

We were served aubergine bake once on holiday and after putting a forkful in my mouth my husband asked why I had gone such a funny colour. I had to ask the waiter to remove it as I couldn't even look at it

Until recently kale was cattle food. Years ago the French wouldn’t eat corn. Chicken food.
I don’t like either as well as curry and goats cheese.

The trend to include sweet fruit in a savory dish.
Why!!!!!!????????
Sultanas in curry:NO.
Apricots in stew:NO.
Pomegranate seeds on salad:NO.
Pineapple on ham:NO.
Apple sauce with pork:NO.
Apple in a salad:NO.
Etc, etc....
Ugh. Makes me heave......

Kale has been horrible in every form I've ever tried it. I hate the taste and smell of seafood.

Tea
Runny eggs
Honey
Gherkins
Herring.

I like kale and adore avocado! Aside from being vegetarian and a gluten free eater, the only three things I don't like are beetroot (makes me ill), pineapple unless very fresh (it hurts my mouth) and goat cheese (can't bear the smell).

Have you tried roasting it? It's delicious! cut out the tough stalk and shred the rest, roast for about 20mins at 200C with a little olive oil and sea salt. It tastes a bit like Chinese Seaweed you can get from takeaways. My DH and Son hate kale any other way but love this!

Absolutely love kale! Try cooking it in the oven with olive oil. Twenty minutes stirring half way through so oil gets all over it. Lovely and crispy

Rabbit. Despite DH expounding it's properties (he's on a diet) all I got was a mouthful of bones - disgusting!

I'll eat practically anything except coconut ( actually most nuts except cashew) , pickles, sweet potatoes & instant coffee.

@ Gulligranny - I like everything that you don't, the only vegetable I really dislike is endive.

It's edible when crispy! Drizzle with olive oil and roast. Does not take long, but not really sure about the nutritional value. It's one of those things like spinach, only reason to eat it is that it's good for you. ?

Shop bought Kale is awful because it's too old! Like shop runner beans! This sort of veg is absolutely wonderful if you grow your own, pop down to the veg patch, pick and cook immediately!

Charleygirl15, one of the reasons we've been trying kale is because of DH's AMD. However, he was also advised to drink a glass of Argentinian Malbec every day - apparently it's got a lot of whatever it is that's good for you, more than any other red wine. So naturally I have to keep him company and of course it is purely medicinal .... Our recycling bin is full of medicine bottles!

Witzend you really ought to try fennel (the bulb) thinly sliced, like or with onion, at the bottom of the dish when you bake fish, flesh, or fowl - and the seeds give boulanger potatoes a really good taste.

Caviar. Lidl had it this week. Hubby bought it thinking I'd love it. No way was I eating fish eggs. Offered it to our daughter, no thanks. Offered it to our neighbour. He said no. Now my daughters cat will get it.

Do you mean Duran fruit...smelly stuff

I did exactly the same...(misread it as Kate) I also hate kale.any leafy greens taste horrible bitter to me since cancer treatment 3 years ago

I can't think of a vegetable I don't like except for the smelly one you aren't allowed to take on public transport in some countries - I forget the name of it - have tried to enjoy it twice - but no!

Or maybe it's actually a fruit... ?

Should add, re my DF and cream, parents once came to visit the day after we’d had a lot of friends round. For them I’d made a dip consisting of mashed avocado, and a lot of both garlic and whipped double cream.

Without thinking, I put the remains on the table with crisps to dip in, and didn’t realise what I’d done until DF had started dipping in with evident gusto.

In the privacy of the kitchen I told DM that what he was eating was maybe 50% whipped cream! (Of course the strongest taste would have been the garlic.)

DM was torn between being aghast and wanting to laugh. ‘For goodness’ sake don’t tell him - he’ll be sick!’
(I didn’t.)

Ladies, it's very heartening to know I'm not the only kale-hater (and yes, I DO like Kate!). I haven't tried anything other than the pre-chopped supermarket stuff, so perhaps I should keep an open mind. I'm definitely going to try the kale chips, but probably more in hope than expectation ....

I'd forgotten about the hideousness that is butter beans. Mum used to add them to stew and I now have memories of the tough, horrible skins. Perhaps that's why I don't like broad beans either.
