Default Why do some kids hate peas?

De gustibus, I suppose!

Some kids hate Lima beans, both of mine did, whereas my wife and I liked
them. Everyone in my family dislikes canned peas but frozen ones are
fine. Don't many British people like pureed cooked peas ("Mushy" or
something?) I hated Brussels Sprouts as a kid and later until I learned
that 4 minutes is long enough to cook them. I still dislike most greens:
Kale, Chard, Broccoli, Beet greens; you name them! *Green* Asparagus is
great!
