Thanksgiving Casseroles I Hate (Mainly for gillo)

[cbtreks]

gillo, in a reply to a comment I made earlier, said she's never tasted or even seen green bean casserole or sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. Lucky her! But just in case anyone who isn't familiar with them is curious about them, take a look (er, follow the links):

Green Bean Casserole:

I find everything about it - the look of it once you dish it out, the smell, the taste, the texture - absolutely revolting (hence the title to this post!). Of course some people, such as my youngest sister, love it. I really think this is one of those dishes that people love or hate, no take-it-or-leave it here.

Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows:

I love roasted marshmallows (I pretty much like marshmallows any way you serve them including straight out of the bag) but really dislike this casserole. I'll pick a few marshmallows off the top when no one's looking. Ironically, the reason I don't like the casserole is because I find sweet potatoes too sweet. Sweet potatoes, yams, squash, cooked carrots - pretty much all those orange vegetables I find way too sweet and do not like them at all. (Except in pie - both pumpkin and sweet potato pie are delicious.) I certainly like sweet things so I don't know what it is about those vegetables but they almost make me gag. Weird.
