Joe,
I can't stand squash either but I do like spinach in small amounts. I like sour kraut too, but not the way my Mother made it. She used an old German receipt that has been in the family for only God knows how long and put it in big mason jars in the cellar to ripen. Holly crap. You couldn't eat it with a fork as the tines would curl up. She would make what she called mild for me and that was more than I have found in many German restaurants. But at least I wasn't forced to eat stuff that I just did not like. Mom used to tell me that if I ate my spinach I would grow up to be like Pop Eye and I did. Eat the spinach that is.
