I was going to do a pie poll, but someone already beat me to it.
Anyway, another cruciferous veg full of flavor and versatility.
But I know a lot of people don't like them (even people who love lots of other vegetables).
What say you?

The cool, foggy, wet (usually) weather is perfect. The agricultural capital of the region, Half Moon Bay, is also home to an annual giant-pumpkin-growing contest. The winners can top 1,000 pounds!

(115,732 posts)When I was a kid my mom would try to get me to eat brussels sprouts, and just I couldn't stand them and wouldn't eat them. When I grew up I figured that was just a kid thing so I tried them again. And I still can't stand them. Tried them boiled, baked, roasted; they're awful no matter how you cook them. They are intolerably bitter and smell like rotting garbage.
And recently I found out that there is a genetic basis for hating them. http://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2011/nov/01/brussel-sprout-gene

(6,011 posts)Remember DU discussions about cilantro, and black licorice?
The only thing I don't really like is anchovies, partly because I can't stand most super-salty foods.
Here are but a couple of the times cilantro and black licorice were brought up-
