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.

Shame on your father for subjecting your majesty to that nauseating spectacle!
I bet he made shitty toast too.  He probably got all his vittles at the marine base commissary instead of publix.
I'm so glad your Highness has risen above all this squalor.
