I used to hate asparagus, but turns out it's because my mom and grandma would always boil it.

Pro-tip: don't do that, it's awful.

Yup, properly cooked veggies are awesome.

But, children's taste buds are different from adults. Iirc they taste things more strongly, so the bitter notes are more pronounced.

Also, they've been breeding stuff like brussel sprouts to be less bitter for a while now, so veggies might actually taste better than when we were kids.

Brussel sprouts are still terrible
