Oddly, I like cabbage. Well, not cabbage exactly but sauerkraut, although I can eat cabbage.

Broccoli is OK depending on what it's in. My wife makes a Broccoli salad that is great, but that's probably because the sweetness and the bacon in it eliminate all the broccoli taste.

Brussels sprouts are the devil's vegetable though.

I understand it to be the gene for sensitivity to bitterness. Do you also hate grapefruit? I love grapefruit. ...and tonic drinks.

Grapefruit and many prescription drugs have a complicated relationship, too.

For the record, I like broccoli but I can't stand brussel sprouts or cabbage. Cauliflower is "meh".

I have heard that Brussel sprouts have been tweaked over the years (lightly modified in "our" language) to make them less bitter.. I used to hate them but now don't mind and on occasion find them sweet tasting..

Yea, I can't have grapefruit because of my heart meds. I asked my cardiologist why years ago and he said grapefruit has something in it that prevents certain drugs from being filtered out of the blood, so the drugs build up to toxic levels. I was wondering like, if I went to a party, and they were serving punch that I didn't know had the juice, would I like start going into convulsions? He laughed and said no. You just want to avoid on a regular basis.

Now, a vodka tonic sounds great. Off to the liquor store, and I can also buy my winning mega millions ticket.

I love cabbage. Now sauerkraut is something I need to try. My only memory of kraut is my mom opening a can of some really disgusting stuff when I was a kid. Next time I'm at the German deli I'll have to ask for a taste.
