>>>Cranberries and I are ancient enemies. I hate the stuff - berries and juice. They are another of Gods little jokes on the human race (like brussel sprouts). "Here, let's put these down there and see what they do with them. Oh my Self, look at that, they're eating the stuff! Bwaaaaahaaaahaaaa, I can't stand it."

>>Oddly enough, I like brussels sprouts. The only vegetable I can't stand is beets.

>Oh, yes. I forgot beets. I guess they are so far from properly being considered edible, that I just didn't think of them. My mother says she likes beets (cranberries too), but I'm sure it's just a running gag she's been perpetrating for the last 90 years.

I wouldn't like them even if they didn't ooze blood all over everything else on the plate.

Maybe that's it, the ooze factor. Radishes can't be a very distant relative of beets and I like radishes just fine.
