      Most the things I like are “icky.” Luckily what I like isn’t determined by a child. I like liking things.

      Any thing is gross if you describe well enough.

      Vegetables are the fruiting body of the plant. They arise from the interaction of the sexual parts of the plant. The function of a fruiting body is protect the seeds and provide nourishment, much like the womb and placenta do for a zygote.

      Hope you enjoy your plant utereses with unborn babies inside.

        That actually depends on the vegetable. Tomatoes and peppers are fruit, technically. Carrots and radishes on the other hand are actually the roots of the carrot plant. Celery, we eat part of the stems. Lettuce and spinach we eat the leaves of. Etc

      A hot dog is even grosser but I still like them. My grandma would lick her fingers clean after eating chicken giblets while even the concept of eating that stuff made my stomach turn.

      What’s gross to you is a smorgasbord for somebody.
