Doesn’t like any vegetables at all?
I was just watching a video about a man who wanted to find recipes he could eat that don’t contain vegetables as he doesn’t like any veg.

I mean come on.. there’s as many flavours in different vegetables as there are colours in the world.. yet he would proclaim to ‘hate all colours’

I just don’t get it. Kids I sort of understand; especially when they descend from fussy parents. But I just think ‘grow up’ when I read about adults not touching vegetables. I’m not talking about “I don’t like broccoli or carrots” - won’t eat vegetables at all.

And the “salad? Do I look like a rabbit?” Slur that comes from people

Who won’t eat anything remotely green or healthy, that saying really boils my piss. Just say no thank you?!

I know IABU as it’s none of my business but it just made me roll my eyes and would be interested to hear others opinions on it.

I mean as an adult ill regularly eat things I dont like to be polite... if someone else has cooked for you at a dinner party say.. unless your allergic to it or its against your religious or ethical beliefs (in which case you should have made that clear to begin with really) then you ought to try and eat it.
I agree. It's beyond rude to (as an ex-friend of mine would) make 'yuck' noises and faces if asked to pass round a bowl of veg, or ask the host to cook something a different way because that's how they'd prefer it.
(she isn't an ex-friend because of the food thing BTW but I don't miss it!)

Goodness, there’s some judgement on this thread!
I do however think that people forget that we don’t actually know how anything tastes, smells or feels to anyone else.
Personally, I love veg and actually eat more than is good for me. However, I dislike ALL alcohol. There is a common taste that I get regardless of the drink. I taste it in beer, wine, any spirit and I strongly dislike that taste. I’m guessing it’s the actual alcohol I’m tasting. I’ve never met anyone else who tastes this. So, if I’m like this with alcohol I can see how others could be like it with veg.
That said, I believe manners are of greatest importance and no one should ever be rude about food anyone else has provided for them, or make comments whilst others are eating.
