[debm55]

[RandySF]

1. None

I was a good kid!

[debm55]

2. You ate them all???? You were a good kid, RandySF.

[Ocelot II]

3. Lima beans, of course. Nobody eats lima beans.

I always wondered why they were even there.

[debm55]

5. Thank you Ocelot II, And congratulations for milestone.

[electric_blue68]

[debm55]

46. Thank you for sharing with us. electric_blue68. Enjoy.

[tblue37]

54. I taught a whole group of daycare kids to love lima beans. I called them baby beans and doled them out as treats.

They were always my son's favorite vegetable. I love them, too.

[LoisB]

4. I only ate the Lima beans.

[debm55]

6. You ate them????? You are a brave soul LoisB.

[LoisB]

7. LOL. I guess I'm weird. I like Lima beans.

[debm55]

8. -------------

[Polly Hennessey]

14. I'm here LoisB as a lover of Lima beans 🫘

We promise, Deb, to never serve you the Lima bean delish dish should you ever come to our houses for dinner. Heck, after Lois and Polly polished them off none would be left for you. Also love Butter
beans. 😍

[LoisB]

16. Bless you, Polly. I love butter beans too!

[debm55]

45. HAHAHHAHHHAAHHAH. Great. I 'll take you up on that.You and Lois can have them Enjoy.

[Ocelot II]

21. Why?? They have no flavor and a weird gushy texture, like eating caulk.

[LoisB]

23. LOL I don't know. It is one of those things my grandmother cooked that I really

liked so I grew up eating them. It's all In the seasoning and cooking time.

[AZJonnie]

9. +1 on lima beans and peas!

I like peas just fine now, esp. whole, fresh sugar snap pea and snow pea which I use in stir fry ALL the time. I use frozen peas in Spanish rice when I make it, and have been known to throw some in soups but I still wouldn't eat like a bowl or side of just peas, cause they're boring.

Lima beans? Still not a fan

[debm55]

11. Thank you very much for sharing with us, AZJonnie.

[QED]

[JMCKUSICK]

[debm55]

44. Thank you very much, John. I hid them under my mashed potatoes.

[lastlib]

15. Beans....

Lima beans, chili beans, baked beans......the only beans I really eat to this day are green beans.

[debm55]

43. Me too, lastllib and they have to be fresh. Thank you for sharing with us.

[Eugene]

18. regular mixed vegetables? none

Eggplant is the only vegetable I turned away.

[debm55]

42. Thank you very much for sharing with us, Eugene. I don't know how to say it, but I love eggplant.

[electric_blue68]

19. 🤔 I'm not sure my mom ever served mixed vegetables...

I was such a picky eater as a kid. Maybe a little better as a tween, early teen. Finally changed around 15 hrs old.

I liked corn, carrots; that might be it.
Maaaybe onions in certain things.

[debm55]

41. Thank you very much for sharing with us, electric_blue68. I liked corn, carrots and fresh green beens.

[hlthe2b]

20. LIMA BEANS... OMG. I have eaten all kinds of foods a lot of people find at least "questionable"

and other beans are fine. Other veggies are fine (as long as they aren't overcooked and slimy). But LIMA BEANS. No way!!! I detest them. The smell, the texture, the horrible feel in the mouth. Umm, no. I'm with you debm55.

[debm55]

40. HAHAHAHAH. Thank you very much, hlthe2b. for sharing.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

22. Never have liked my vegetables mixed.

Reminds me of the Republican party...mixed up vegetables...most of them anyway.

[debm55]

39. Great. Thank you very much, discntnt_irny_srcsm. Perfect point

[2naSalit]

24. Lima beans, of course!

To me they were the vegetable equivalent to liver and onions!

[debm55]

38. YES! That is so true. Thank you very much for sharing with us.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I Vote For Lima Beans

Still not a fan, and there aren't many veggies I don't like.
My wife says both of your veggies would be what she said.
I'm ok with peas. She is not.

[debm55]

37. Thank you very much, ProfessorGAC and Mrs. GAC for sharing with us.

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. Lima beans

I eat them now. Still not my favorite.

[debm55]

35. Thank you very much for sharing with us, MustLoveBeagles.

[PJMcK]

27. None

We had to eat them all.

When I moved out on my own, I was startled to discover I didn’t have to eat Brussel sprouts or cauliflower.

Oddly, I always liked Lima beans. Haven’t had them in years.

[debm55]

34. Thank you very much, PJMcK. I have never been served Brussel sprouts as a child or adult. I guess I didn't miss anything

[Bluestocking]

28. The mixed vegetables I was always served was

Peas, carrots, corn and green beans. I like all of them. If there lima beans or any bean other than green beans they would have went on the floor.

[debm55]

33. That's funny, Bluestocking. I hid my lima beans under the mashed potatoes on my plate.

[Bluestocking]

36. I love mashed potatoes

There would have been no mashed potatoes at the end the meal to hide under

[surrealAmerican]

29. I don't remember ever being served mixed vegetables as a child.

There was probably no way my father would have eaten them.


As far as what I hated as a kid, beets and canned sweet potatoes would probably top that list.

[debm55]

31. Thank you surrealAmerican. beets and canned sweet potatoes rank very close to mixed vegetables. You were lucky.

[sakabatou]

30. Tomatoes

[debm55]

32. Thank you very much for sharing with us, sakabatou.

[Coventina]

47. Soul sister!!! I absolutely detest peas and lima beans!!

They are an affront to decency!!

[debm55]

49. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA Thank you for sharing with us, Coventina.

[Norrrm]

48. Usually broccoli and definitely onions and cauliflower if they even came into the neighborhood.

[debm55]

50. Thank you for your selections, Norrrm

[Diamond_Dog]

51. Another Lima bean hater here.

And I like most other vegetables except for beets and kale.

[debm55]

53. Thank you very much for sharing with us. Diamond_Dog.

[CanonRay]

52. Agree with the Lima beans, also cauliflower.

I eat both now on occasion.

[markodochartaigh]

55. Lima beans for me too.

But any food waste at all was extremely frowned upon in my Mother's family. Finally she just started making lima beans with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, and spices. That was much better, but it seems like when she got us to eat that, we went back to pinto beans.
