Wife can make decent sauteed Kale, but it needs the bejeezus cooked out of it.

Beets - Meh, useless plant.

Sprouts, love them with vinegar, wife hates them.

Cilantro, what would Mexican food be without it?

Like everything except the brussels sprouts. Love cilantro. Put it on my salads along with Italian parsley and dill.

Love it or Hate it: Where Do You Come Down on Kale, Beets, Okra, Brussels Sprouts and Cilantro?

About the same as on "Progressives"

So, how about you? Do you have strong feelings about cilantro?

Tastes like soap.

How about these divisive veggies?
Okra

Yum!

Beets

Roasted they are OK. Not so fond of them pickled.

Kale

Put it right there between the corn bread and pinto beans please.

Brussels sprouts

I like em. In large quantities they do not like me.

Now let's talk about the really evil food. Green Peppers. Are they they food from hell or just an evil curse upon the world?

Cilantro is like Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials. 50% of men think Flo is hot, 50% think not hot...

...50% of people like cilantro, 50% think it tastes like soap.

Flo=HOT! Cilantro=SOAP

Love Okra (period, but deep fried is best) and steamed brussel sprouts.

For those who say cilantro tastes like soap, you should know that’s actually a genetic issue — your taste buds are “programmed” to taste it that way.

Kale - Costco sells a braised kale (pre-pkgd) that I like on occasion. I can’t say I’ve had it in other ways enough to offer an opinion.

Beets — Loved them as a kid, now not so much.

Okra — my dad used to eat this slimy mess, or sometimes fry it. I’ve never ventured a taste.

Brussels Sprouts — I like them.

Cilantro — very sparingly.

Love love love love love them all. If you thought that cilantro tasted like soap before give it another try. I used to hate it but now it is always in my refrigerator or in a glass of water on the kitchen counter. Oh and I hated beats when my dad grew them in his garden. But now I love them. I roast them then peel them , vinaigrette and goat cheese =Yum

I am a cilantro addict. Love the kale and brussels. Hate the beet. Won’t eat the beet. :-)

I eat all of them. I eat beets about once a week during autumn and winter. They are tasty, inexpensive and good for you. I love fired okra, but also use okra in soups and stews. I am neutral on cilatro, but some dishes just don’t taste right without it. As for kale, my wife and kids like it. I eat it, neither like or dislike. And brussel sprouts are great.

Years ago I worked in a grocery store and I was required to identify all of the produce. There were no labels or codes in those days. Cilantro and watercress look almost identical. Cilantro smells like mildew and watercress has no smell. I cannot imagine salsa without cilantro in it.

Okra is great for thickening stews, and Cilantro is irreplaceable, it is good with hot peppers in chicken soup, also.

I dislike all of them but I dislike pretty much any vegetable or anything resembling a vegetable.
