9. +1 on lima beans and peas!

I like peas just fine now, esp. whole, fresh sugar snap pea and snow pea which I use in stir fry ALL the time. I use frozen peas in Spanish rice when I make it, and have been known to throw some in soups but I still wouldn't eat like a bowl or side of just peas, cause they're boring.

Lima beans? Still not a fan
