It's an organic thing, the BJ. Such as a cucumber or a zucchini. Some like those added to salad and some do not. It's strictly a matter of personal taste. One woman I know cannot eat any vegetables with seeds. Even tomatoes are a problem for her. I believe it all boils down to love. When you're in love you can eat anything, food becomes a joyous event. One woman I know ate bird nest soup in a Chinese restaurant downtown. Before love, she couldn't get past an egg roll. In love, she slurped that soup with gusto and scarfed down the bird's nest. Her lover was overjoyed and bragged to all his guy friends that she was an adventurous eater.
