      I’d make that deal for cruciferous vegetables specifically. I’m one of the people for which they taste absolutely disgusting regardless of preparation or attempts to mask the flavor.

      But you can’t have my peppers. Love me some spicy food.

        All of them? Creamy turnip soup is amazing.

        The rest? Yeah. Screw that guy that made Brussels sprouts less inedible.

          Essentially researchers have figured out some of us got a double dose of the ability to taste bitterness. We’re not just being babies when it comes to not eating some vegetables. They literally do taste vile to us. I don’t like coffee, dark chocolate, beer or wine either.

          Hell just the smell of broccoli or brussel sprouts makes me gag.
