I made a big pot of them (baby limas, actually, but it's the same stuff) last night with corn and some smoked pork thrown in. Sopped up the pot 'likker' with fresh cornbread.  grin Good stuff.

Ditto on Brussels Sprouts. I love cabbage, but Brussels Sprouts have a special place with other vegetables I hate (asparagus, beets, squash).

I like baked potatoes with a some grated sharp cheddar and a dab of HOT green chile sour cream.

Gotta agree with Gewehr about Brussel Sprouts.  I like most vegetables cooked in a variety of ways, but I can't stand those tiny cabbages of death.  I even like butterbeans.

You know, I just don't understand this...

You "point" madly whenever collard greens are mentioned, yet you don't like sprouts.

Hell, you don't like beets, and you hate peas.

Trivia remembered from Genetics 101:  a significant portion of the population is unable to taste the primary flavor elements of cabbage family veggies and thus get the full unmasked effect of the underlying sulfur compounds.

I concur on the grilled asparagus, recommend wrapping them in prosciutto and having some balsamic vinegar to apply drop by drop.

Sweet potatoes, Mike?  Try Jamaican style:  peel and cube to bite size, simmer in coconut milk, sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste.
