sauce on crackers as well.

did she happen to enjoy a snort or two now and again?

An entire generation has been lost to brussels sprouts... the roasting
method has convinced them that sprouts aren't culinary torture. I
used to lightly steam sprouts and serve with butter, but my kids (and
cooked cabbage eating husband) didn't *love* them until I started
roasting them with garlic and olive oil.

I'll answer it anyway Yep, I love meat & potatoes. But I'll
also eat practically any vegetable if it's *cooked* (it's a texture
thing), even ones most people hate (like brussels sprouts and lima
beans). And there are lots of fruit I like. I love good sweet
strawberries; in fact I love most berries. But I don't want them on
meat.

"I'll also eat practically any vegetable... even ones most people hate (like
brussels sprouts...)" I've *always* loved brussels sprouts, even when I was
a mere sprout I didn't like peas until I was an adult but that's because
my mom always bought canned peas. I just didn't know peas could be good!
Same thing with corn. She didn't understand why I loved corn on the cob but
wouldn't eat it off the cob (I do use canned corn sometimes in soups.)

There are quite a few meat and fruit combinations that I
really like.

Chicken or turkey call for cranberry sauce, cooked or raw, or
lingonberry sauce. or apricot /mango chutney.

I don't love applesauce in general, but it is very good with
pork or ham.
Fresh pineapple, too.

Chicken salad is wonderful with fresh pineapple and pecans or
toasted almond slivers. Grapes or chopped sweet apple is OK
there, too.

Many ethnic dishes use fruit like plums, prunes,
passionfruit, etc.

It's all in what you (let yourself) get used to.

MK Same here. A nice addition to breaded chicken over here is
MK red whortleberry sauce. (It's similar to cranberry).

I can't say I've had whortleberry. I had thought it was something like a
blueberry but I guess I may be wrong. It's not like the cloud-berry, Swedes
and Norwegians enthuse over is it?

It's called "Preiselbeere" over here.

As always in such cases, there is a whole slew of names for the same
thing, but I think the berry is better known as "lingonberry", in
America at least, and, in England, also as "cowberry".

For me, it was canned peas for sure.... but I didn't even like them
fresh. I know because my maternal grandfather had a huge vegetable
garden where he grew.... peas. I'd rather scrape off the inside of
the pod with my teeth while shelling them than eat those round things
inside. I didn't like peas until I could buy frozen and petit. Now I
love them, providing they are petit peas.

Same thing with corn. She didn't understand why I loved corn on the cob but

I use frozen corn a lot for cooking. Why bother with fresh when
frozen tastes even better? I use the petit kernels because I can, no
other reason. Well, they *are* cute. LOL

I'd be inclined to agree with you for most purposes and I think
frozen corn is as acceptable as frozen peas but corn on the cob
is something else and the frozen stuff is not worth eating,
IMHO!

great one for ice cream.

Another one I almost forgot about is sausage patties or bacon dip in
maple syrup for breakfast.

She didn't drink at all...thought it was stupid. She raised me like her
own kid....and kids usually rebel against their parents at first
opportunity which is how I became a drinker.
