After the day I barfed peas onto the dining table, they stopped

You too? I barfed asparagus. I learned to like it later, but that was
*my choice*.

I don't remember ever barfing any vegetable but there were a few that I
never liked. My younger brother still whines about not being able to go
out for Halloween because he would not eat his peas. I was not
sympathetic. I could have understood it if it had been parsnip, turnip
or lima beans, but IMO there is nothing about peas not to like. I know
there are a few people here who would disagree.

 Open a can of peas.  Boil for 15 minutes.  Enjoy.  Or not, which
was my childhood experience.
 

I didn't barf but I never liked peas (fortunately I was not forced to eat them) until I tasted fresh small green peas when I was about 30.  My father used to eat canned creamed peas on toast and *that* looked enough like vomit to make me want to boke.
