For those who mentioned Brussels sprouts, huh? Most people don't like them. With me, I went through a weird period in late menopause (thank heaven, that's over) when almost everything smelled bad ... especially cucumbers and watermelon. Got most of it back, but still do not like cucumbers and watermelon, and it pisses me off. These are things I loved, the real feel of summer. I want to like them. If you'd have asked me 5 years ago, I'd never have believed that anyone could possibly dislike watermelon or cucumbers. That crispy, light, epitome of summer. Every summer I try, and every time I try, I still don't like them. To me they now smell and taste the same (and yes, I've been told they do have a chemical compound in common). If I had to develop an aversion to something in middle age, couldn't it have been something fattening?
