runs away from eggplant

Re: runs away from eggplant

- that's exactly what I was thinking!!! It sounds really awful....

I don't do any purple/red veggies (ie eggplant, beets, radishes, red peppers, etc) or any orange veggies (ie squash, sweet potato, carrots - I guess baby carrots are tolerable). I have a severe aversion to cantaloupe now too, cuz of a story like Sicy's.

My grandpa was babysitting me and my sisters back when we were pretty young, I was about 6. He made us lunch that included cantaloupe - I was never a big fan, but at least ate a bite and knew it didn't taste right. We all pitched a fit and said it tasted funny and we didn't wanna eat it. So he said we would all sit there until everyone finished it. We all sat there glaring at each other for 2 hours until my dad got home. My dad took a bite and said that it was rotten and that we didn't have to eat it (so we went to Grandpa). I haven't touched the stuff since.
