ugh to rhubarb and gooseberries. Yet I love tart fruits in the main. I think it stems from being force fed these green gloop pies and fools as a child. Parents take note: Force pop and coffee and all bad things on your children (and call them kid food), and do not allow them to taste green veg or bitter fruit, saying they are only for adults. They will wolf down the forbidden at the first possible opportunity, and take great delight in enjoying it. I drink coke like Robin Williams snorts it because it was banned when I was a kid. Thor (8) eats onions and mushrooms and loves them, but as a third child, we'd realized you just can't make kids eat these things, so we didn't bother trying. Hey presto.....
