If you have problems with vegetables, go to Europe, Italy or France in particular; you'll eat EVERY SINGLE VEGETABLE put in front of you because they taste that much different, better over there.

Case in point: growing up in an Italian household, pasta with zucchini was a staple. The zucchini is stewed a bit with garlic and some tomato and basil and served with short pasta somewhat like a soup. It's not my favorite and wasn't growing up. However, when my mom makes it when we're in Italy, it's mindblowing how good it is.

Also, because of the upbringing, vegetables were a non-issue for me. Escarole, cabbage, broccoli, rabe, swiss chard, squash, zucchini, eggplant, green peas, chick peas, green beans, kidney beans, fava beans, black beans, etc., etc. I ate them all or I didn't eat. And as I got older and my mom became a better and better cook, I eat them with genuine zeal.

But I digress... Have a problem with lima beans? Try sautéing them with onion and a bit of bacon in olive oil until they are tender. Funk removed, trust me. Brussel sprouts? Try braising them in butter and sage or rosemary (make sure you par boil both the beans and sprouts first). Canned beets? Pft... buy 'em fresh, cut off the greens, wash them, drizzle with olive oil and a bit of salt, wrap in foil, and bake at 375F for 2 hours. You'll never want to deal with that pickled nonsense again and they freeze amazingly well!
