I'm pretty open about food and as I have aged I have become more accepting to different tastes. However, one thing that has never changed is that I can't stand Brussels Sprouts. As a kid, I tried three strategies for dealing with forced consumption of the horrid little buggers.
First, I railed, threw a fit and refused to eat them. That didn't work!
Second, I swallowed them whole and forced them down with water. Well, I didn't have to taste them, but, almost choked. Plus the darn texture bothered me more that way.
Lastly, I accepted my fate and decided to eat them first. I knew I wouldn't like it, but, I would eat them first and get them out of the way. Then I could cleanse my pallet with my other food and enjoy my meal -- sprout free.
When my task list becomes filled (as often it does), I am reminded to eat my Brussels Sprouts first (in other words the most despised tasks get done first). This leaves my remaining work to cleanse my pallet and refresh my soul.
How do you deal with despised tasks?

The same way I deal with Brussels Sprouts: Cover them in butter and cheddar cheese.
