Vegetable gardening for people who don't like vegetables

I'll admit it, I'm a typical child when it comes to eating my greens. There's not many that I eat and there's even fewer that I actually like. Coming from someone who grows vegetables this might sound strange, but one of the funny things to come out of creating the garden and it's veggie patch is that I am finding that I'm not only growing types of veg that I would never normally have come across in the local supermarket, but because I've actually grown it myself I'm eating more of the stuff too. I think a lot of it comes down to the patch to plate miles of home grown produce. For example, Broccoli no longer tastes bland but instead it's rich in the natural sugars present when it's cut. It tastes wonderful! (especially with a cheese dip). The natural sugars just haven't had a chance to turn to starch on a multi thousand mile journey from wherever to the shop shelf.

As a result I'm eating much more. For example I had sweet potato for the first time last week and it tasted lovely, not to mention the squashes etc that I have tried in recent months! In all honesty, I'm still not great with salads - last time I ate only a salad made of leaves etc I felt light headed all afternoon as it didn't really give me what I needed (or it did and my body craved things that I didn't need) as a result my usual salad combo normally only features the odd green and tomato representing more of a trip to the carvary than a salad. I'm also yet to find a salad dressing that I actually like but I plan to persevere in the hope one day it'll click.
