Can't stand the curly kale, texture but there's a variety that's not curly and i like that, especially with a touch of sesame oil.
Don't like frisee either because of texture.
Pretty much any canned vegetable, though love hominy, and will eat canned corn on very rare occasions. Canned carrots go in the hurricane box, but if not used get donated after season is over. There are food drives here right after hurricane season.
Very picky about fish because we used to spearfish when diving so it came home and got eaten or was immediately frozen. We get tuna from a restaurant supply place so it's always fresh.
Love escargot if cooked correctly as above. We usually buy ready to bake frozen French escargot at a place that supplies the mega yachts that dock in Fort Lauderdale. We get truffles, caviar and foie gras there as well. BTW, truffles have to be ripe when used and sometimes that takes a couple of days after you buy them. If they aren't ripe, they may still smell pretty good, but won't taste like much. I'm planning on getting some black truffles soon.
Can't stand okra. I've tried it in gumbo, pickled and fried. Blech!
Collard greens - i couldn't stand them, though Craig has always loved them, even the school lunch collards. Found a recipe from Emeril and tried it. Wow! Changed my mind and Craig's brother's, who also hated them. The recipe has lots of onion and garlic, plus bacon. I use the pressure cooker and that makes them fall apart tender, even more so than cooking for hours in a regular pot. Oh, buy whole collard greens not the bagged ones. Get rid of the stems when you clean.
Okay, I'll take the advice from yesterday's dinner thread and start a recipe thread for collards. This is not really my recipe but one I've stolen from Emeril and I just kind of adapt to what I have in the pantry. Bag of collards or a big bunch of collards - washed and picked thru (even if...

@larry_stewart , don't know if there is a vegan substitute for the bacon, but that recipe totally changed 2 haters into lovers.
Don't like any kind of kidneys and will only eat chicken livers willingly. I can deal with beef or veal liver if I have to in a social setting. Pork liver, I'd have to be starving to death before i would ever eat that again.
Hazelnuts and Brasil nuts. I prefer not to eat walnuts, but will. Don't like the taste. I love most nuts, but not those.
