Durian---smelly and the taste.

There's some fruit I don't dislike, but don't think it's worth the money, like dragonfruit, even though it's exotic looking.

Like all veggies.

Ginkgo nuts. Don't like raw apples either.

Eek, that durian looks and sounds scary. Eh, no. Everything else, bring it on.

I LOVE turnips, both white and the yellow rutabaga. Great for faux mashed potatoes, or a potato substitute. I don't eat potatoes unless it's dinner out and celebrating.

Many of them. I probably dislike a lot more fruits - bananas, anything mushy for the most part, papaya, guava, and I'm sure many more. Tend to stick to my safe favorites: stone fruits (plums, cherries, nectarines), melons, apples, lemons and limes.

Veggies - I don't like bitter greens much, or most squash (texture again). I would eat a little to be polite. Harder to eat the "bad" fruit.

I'm not fond of Papaya, and I wouldn't care if I never saw another Cantaloupe. But I'll eat them if they are offered without an alternative.

There was an urban legend going around in the 90's that McDonald's used turnips in their apple pies instead of apples. I don't think there was ever proof, but at least somebody recognized that turnips can be made to taste good.

I'll eat any normal fruit or veg that can be found in a grocery store. The only exceptions I can think of are acorn or butternut squash. I love zucchini, yellow, and spaghetti squash but don't care for other hard shelled sqash.

My favorites are asparagus, artichokes, apricots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, rutabaga, brussels sprouts, cabbage, onions, grapes, strawberries, nectarines, avocado, and the list could go on forever.

Make sure you know the difference between jackfruit and durian; jackfruit is wonderful.
