Lima beans were the scourge of my childhood, until I learned that if you swallow them whole like an ennui-ridden soccer mom swallows a bottle full of Valium, you don't actually have to taste them.
All of the vile, pestilential, chalky, horrible, porcelain-god-proselytizing badness is contained inside the hull.
Of course, in so doing one loses the nutritional benefits of them as well, because the hull is...impervious to mere digestive acid. I think there's a lesson in that.
