Talk about finally giving in to a weird food impulse; I had to finally break down and buy blue cheese. It's a pretty strange food craving. When I was a kid, my paternal grandmother would always serve saltine crackers and blue cheese to my sisters and me as a snack. I guess when you start eating something strong tasting like that as a kid, you can end up liking it, which I did. Had a bit just now, took me right back to my Granny's kitchen!
That never did work with beets for me though...ugh, my parents grew them in the garden and even if every single crop failed, the beets would always make! I hated them so much! So did both my sisters. We were always expected to eat all our fruits and vegetables (other foods my mom was more lenient on), and finally one time my middle sister was eating the beets, and they must have tasted so horrible to her, she threw them up and after that my mom started giving miniscule portions of beets to all 3 of us though I wished she would skip them altogether. I never could develop a paltate for beets as an adult even though I now like other foods I didn't care for as a child such as raw onion, bell pepper, olives. Big no on beets though! My sisters too told me neither of them can stand beets as adults either, not even my youngest sister who eats super healthy.
