Reply #7: Oh yes...asparagus.

I really want to like it, and I can't say I really hate it, but it just doesn't wow me the way it does most people. I feel embarrased about this for some reason, I feel as if I really should like asparagus. I still buy it on occasion when it's on sale, and I suppose it may be that I need to find a better way to cook it (I generally steam it). And I have enjoyed just a taste of it, when it's served in a vegetable medley. But guess I just don't really understand what all the fuss is about.

Goat cheese is another that I really don't like at all. It has such a...what is that taste, anyway? Not good, imo. Those other cheeses though, like brie, I really like.

I also don't care for snails, even when drowned in butter and garlic. But that's more a thing about remembering stepping on them when I was a kid...and that hard exo-skeleton...and the squish....ewww. I remember a party I went to where they were served and the garlic smell was delish, but I just couldn't bring myself to even try one. I'm generally pretty willing to be adventurous with food, but snails are one thing that I don't think I can even say I want to learn to like.
