What I don't quite understand is that people say that they don't like vegetables as if all vegetables were alike. When, in fact, they are totally different.
I can't stand beetroot, or peas, or brussels sprouts. So I don't eat them. (Although the dinner at the SW Woman of the Year event this year has roasted baby beets as one of the vegetables, and I have promised to try them - just a bite! - as I am told they are quite different cooked like that!)
But I like other vegetables - the only thing they all have in common is that they are called vegetables. Cucumber is nothing like tomato. Aubergine is nothing like parsnip. Cabbage is nothing like broccoli (despite coming from the same brassica family). Peppers are nothing like mushrooms.
I am not, I promise, being critical here. I just don't understand it.
