Beets, chayote, persimmons, and papaya are fruits and veggies that I just HATE. I've given them all a chance in my adulthood and I still can't stand them. Chang's tip on roasting the beet is one that I think is over blown. People always tell me that if I roast beets I'll love them. I've tried roasting and also making chips out of the beets. Nope, still hate 'em.

Thanks for posting this. I love the Splendid Table, listen to the podcast every Saturday morning while I putter in the kitchen. Such happiness! I will give these others a try too.
