    Children are generally adverse to bitter tasting things. Hunter gatherer poison defense. Some folks are just more acutely sensitive to it.

    Usually it’s brassicas that cause that yuck reaction. Cabbage, broccoli, cale.

      My wife insists that broccoli is disgusting.

      I like it. It’s not like super flavorful or anything, but I’ll roast and salt a little broccoli for something to add to my fettuccine. She always passes and refuses to even try it.

      More for me.

      It’s weird for me then because I loved vegetables as a kid but I still hate bitter things. I don’t enjoy beer or coffee. Can’t get enough broccoli or asparagus though.

        Beer and coffee you can aquire pretty easily if you want to, because of the drugs. I’m fat enough without beer though, so it’s still nasty to me. I speak with such confidence because I aquired a taste for campari which is about as bitter as Satan’s asshole. I hated it at first, just putting it on my tongue was an exercise in torture. Now I like it.
