I sometimes travel to the health food store in a neighboring town to
get a big bag of Paul Newman's organic salad mix... can't remember the
name, but it's got lots of baby greens. Great stuff.

I remember a couple years ago, was having a chat with a remodeling
contractor. He and his wife, who is a doctor, are very fit and
athletic. He said this is how they often eat dinner. Grill some meat,
chicken or fish, and then top a big salad with the grilled protein and
dressing. Neither of them are dieting, let alone lc'ing... it just
seemed like a healthy way to eat to them.

I also like nuts on salad. Walnuts and sunflower seeds are favorites.
I'll have to try your suggestion of dried cranberries, too.

I'm not one to convince someone that they do indeed like something they
don't like. However, have you eaten them toasted instead of eating them
right out of the container? I find there's a noticeable difference. To
toast them, you just turn/toss them in a dry frying pan until they're
golden brown. I've never found anything about them tree-like, but
toasting them does make them taste different.

I've only had them in a restaurant dish and was so completely turned off
that I never had them with anything again.

I wonder if there was something else in the dish that turned you off?
I've never found pine nuts to taste "pine-like," but to me they taste
very good. I agree toasting them makes them yummy, but they taste good
to me raw.

I wonder, alternatively, if this is one of those genetic differences
things? Like cilantro?

asparagus.

Is that one of those genetic things, because I don't care for cilantro,
either. Hmmmm. I'm also one of those people who can STRONGLY discern a
bitter zucchini or cucumber (and zucchini is my FAVORITE vegetable, so
it's not a matter of not liking them).

Ahhhh... maybe we're onto something here.

Oh, this is new to me. I didn't realize there were individual
differences. I hate it when zucchini is bitter, but usually eat it
anyway. But I've never discerned any excessive bitterness in a
cucumber. Interesting!
