I'm 32 years old and I hate eating vegetables (with the exception of lettuce and celery, since they're practically tasteless). I've sheepishly described myself as a "kids menu eater", though I wonder if perhaps there's a biological excuse for my aversion. I also hate spicy foods... maybe I'm a supertaster? Then again, I like salty foods, so maybe not...
- Gravityloss 9y agoalso really fresh stuff? Straight from someone's backyard?
- maxander 9y agoThis sounds a lot like the supertasters I've known. Certainly not as sensitive to salt as other things- whether this is because saltiness works differently than other taste, or whether it's just impossible even for supertasters not to acclimate to it in the Western food environment, I don't know.
- R_haterade 9y agoIt's interesting to me that you find celery tasteless. I can't stand the flavor myself but I'll eat Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower all day long. Not to mention wasabi, horseradish and other pungent foods. Can I ask how you feel about garlic?
- md224 9y agoThis thread is blowing my mind... I thought celery was super inoffensive, essentially the watermelon of vegetables. (Now I'm curious what you think about watermelon!) Re: garlic, I'm a fan.
- int_19h 9y agoAnother celery hater here. And while we're at it, I know one person who hates watermelons.
- R_haterade 9y agoWatermelon makes my teeth itch. I don't know how else to describe it. I think strawberries are the closest I have to your watermelon.
- _JamesA_ 9y agoI wouldn't describe celery as practically tasteless. I enjoy many vegetables but I can't eat anything with even a hint of celery in it.
- madeofpalk 9y agoThat’s so interesting that you find celery to be tastless. I find it to be one of the strongest vegetables with a peppery or almost spicy flavour. Most lettuce is just super bland, but then I guess that’s why you have it with dressing and other foods.
- lederhosen 9y agoInteresting, I have disliked celery during my childhood, but I like it now :-) Though, I have always thought (and still think) celery has a peculiar and quite strong taste. Lettuce I can agree does not taste that much.
