I used to be like you; then I learned that I was badly trained in their preparation (cultural background). Now I know how to deal with them, I love 'em.
I have previously made an effort to acquire a taste for them, partially because I'm aware how important they will be in the future (at least, if all the sci-fi I've read is to be believed!).
But nope, it's not the preparation, it's the ingredient.
