When you were a kid or even now, what vegetable in mixed veggies would you not eat? . Lima beans are mine

Lima beans are made of plastic. I’m not about to argue that one.

......family all despise them but I really enjoy them. I should blame my mother, a child of the Great Depression, who guilt tripped all of her kids into "eating everything" and "learning to like it".

All grown now up but still hell no on lima beans. If they’re tiny baby ones and only a few hiding in a soup, then maybe I can swallow them. Maybe.

My wife loves to roast them. I can't stand them but, you know...

My mom occasionally served us lima beans when I was a kid and while they're not my favorite, I have a nostalgic taste bud for them.

Gawd those things are disgusting. I think whoever dreamed up the recent (current?) marketing fad with them was just trying to see how far they could take the joke. (They are the Trump of vegetables, actually.)

There are others I won't go out of my way for, but if someone serves them to me I'll eat them, vs. running screaming from the room.
