A blender is the only way I can manage them. Same with fruit, with the exception of the occasional blueberry, but it has to be fresh picked. Like I said, I don't mind the flavor of most vegetables, probably due to the amount of butter, salt, and pepper that I would use, but the textures are pretty much impossible for me to get past no matter the method of preparation. At this point in my life, I let my food eat the vegetables for me, and I think of all the grass and green stuff that steer ate before becoming my burger.
