They are mostly limited to sweetish vegetables including pumpkin, yams, sweet potatoes, beets, and winter squash. Cooked carrots are rough, but I can choke a bit down with enough salt.
That's unusual. Do you eat other sweet foods, fruit? The bulk of my sugar comes from fruit and I love all the vegetables you listed. I’m not crazy about raw carrots, but could eat cooked carrots several times a week.
This thread has made me think. I realize I season winter squash with nutmeg and cloves when I bake it. A little salt, pepper and olive oil and it’s one of my favorite starches.
