I always eat the Brazil nuts. Nobody else here will! They are always
the last to go, but they never go in the trash.

I like lima beans, too. We very seldom have them, though, since nobody
else likes them much. About once a year I'll make some. I'll have a
couple of helpings, but the others take a few, just to remind themselves
why they don't like them.
