Did you know that cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, collards, and kale are all the same species of plant, Brassica oleracea, and represent different selected traits in the various cultivars? Turns out I don’t hate lots of vegetables, I just hate the same one a lot.

Also a friend tells me that rutabaga, mustard, canola, and turnips are also from the same genus of Brassica and are close relatives of the vegetables I already listed.

Turnips. Ugh - I don't see how people eat them. They taste like dirt.
Beets - disgusting taste, disgusting texture.
 
i love broccoli and asparagus and califlower.
i hate peas. pea pods in asian food are fine, which sounds goofy, but the full size peas taste like crap to me.
 
If the definition of a species is being able to produce viable offspring, then the same is true of melons, squash, pumpkins, gourds, luffas, cukes, zucchini, and others.
 
As for vegetables I don't like, there are some that require a lot more preparation than others if I'm going to enjoy them. None of them require as much prep work as, say, a cow, which I only enjoy if it's been slaughtered, skinned, bled, de-organed, broken down into primals, further broken down into to portions, and cooked to my specifications. Sometimes, it even needs to be deboned, ground, marinated, slow cooked, or served with a sauce. Compared to an eggplant, my least favorite veggie, which needs to be picked, sliced, breaded, and fried for me to eat it with sauce.
 
I have yet to meet a veggie I don't like. fruit is another story.

alternate answer: poorly cooked ones
 
Brussel Sprouts suck

And yes, I've had your craze-mazing roasted in the oven with cheese on top version.
 
I loathe cucumber until it is pickled, at which point I fall deeply in love with them. I think that potatoes are among the most boring foods on the planet, but it has some tasty uses.

Honestly, I prefer most all vegetables cooked rather than raw.

But celery and cauliflower are useless garbage. They are by far the worst.

Cauliflower with cheese sauce is one of the favourites in my household. My daughter and I love it.

Celery is inedible raw, but in soup and stews it's essential
