Onions are also divisive for a variety of reasons. They have a really sharp taste, and if you have a sensitive stomach, eating them raw can cause discomfort. But the truth is, virtually all savory dishes contain onions as a key ingredient. Onions are very nutritious and full of cancer-fighting antioxidants. You don’t have to eat them raw. If you put a bit of olive oil in a pan and saute sliced onions until they are soft and caramelized, and add them to a chicken or beef dish you might just fall in love.
8. Brussels Sprouts
There is very little reason to dislike Belgium. This small European country is full of quaint villages and well-preserved cities that date back for centuries. They also make a pretty meat waffle. However, they are also to blame for introducing brussels sprouts, the bitter, sour vegetable that resembles a tiny cabbage, to the world. On the other hand, if you roast them with bacon or sprinkle some pine nuts on top, you have yourself a healthy, highly satisfying dish that is packed with fiber.
