Nice of these kids to just pop those ampalaya or bitter gourd in their mouth. I am not like them when I was a kid. Since I can remember, I was never really a fan of veggies. I've always wormed my way out of a situation where it entails eating green, leafy, bitter vegetables. I don't even know (and haven't seen) half of the vegetables mentioned in our folksong Bahay Kubo. I just can't bring myself to put it in my mouth, chew it and pretend that it tastes good. I kept telling myself, "I am not a 'horse'." Why would they force me to eat them? There must be something else that tastes less revolting. Apparently there are only a couple of veggies to choose from. Now as I am older, I am more adventurous and let's just say I'm more willing to give those leafy things a second chance.
Surprisingly and with the expertise of Aris's mom when it comes to cooking veggies, little by little I am now eating these once despised leaves, stalks and sprouts. My mom and dad would be proud! :) But don't applaud yet as I have one goal before I can truly say that I am not a veggie eater. And that is if I am willing and able to eat my three archenemies:
Baby steps is the key I guess. You really can't expect me to be a vegetarian in just a couple of days right? :) And once I find the perfect recipe that would bring out the "yummy potential" of these three, then it would be stubborn of me not to try it.
What about you? Is there anything that's not found in the freezer and dairy section in the market that you do not or CANNOT eat?
