No matter how much we try to eat healthy, some foods are just plain icky. You know, the ones that instantly make your gag reflex jump into action and your nose wrinkle.  

Those ones.

I'm a pretty adventuresome eater, in my opinion. If it looks edible (and it's vegetarian) I'll probably have a taste.

I remember once being handed a wedge of a juicy green fruit that sort of looked like an unripe tomato but with an apple texture--and continued to eat more. I still don't know what it was, but a trusted friend offered it to me, so I went for it. Plus, it tasted good.

But some foods, I just can't seem to make palatable. My top five icky foods are:

1. Anise seeds (the flavoring for black licorice)
2. Turnips
3. Unseasoned beets
4. Cilantro
5. Wasabi

What foods top your Icky Nasty Vile Foods list?

Until Next Time,
Choose Healthy!
