KIDS’ most hated vegetable has switched from Brussels sprouts to AUBERGINE, a survey revealed yesterday.

Some 39 per cent dislike the black vegetable – two per cent more than sprouts. Third least popular is celeriac at 32 per cent.

Carrots came out as kids’ favourites in the poll, which revealed they now prefer traditional greens to modern trendy varieties.

...
Fourth least popular overall is cabbage (16 per cent) while mangetout is fifth (12 per cent).

I see they didn't mention the vegetable of Satan, the parsnip.  :-)

Yeah I had to look this one up too.



Looks like an eggplant? Or a marital aid for you horn dogs out there!  :-)

Where was this survey performed?  Australia?
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

What was the weird stuff?  Did your kid order fruit slices?  Don't leave us guessing.
