Bleeergh! I so loathe raw cucumbers with passion! They taste horrible and I just cannot, no matter what, to learn appreciate their flavour! All they do is to make me feel sick!
Pumpkins are great I think! Never eaten gourds though! But yeah, go right ahead and make sum gabbage rolls! They're the best!
I love licorice as well! Here in Finland we have salmiakki (Salty licorice), which is basically more stronger and saltier than normal licorice and is a typical finnish sweet we all love very much! Candies, liquer, ice cream, chewing gum, you name it!
Bananas are alright for me and I simply love em! Especially when turned into smoothies!
