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. 😍

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

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.

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.
