    I never used to eat carrot and hated it ever since primary school and the soggy disks that taste truly awful. I don’t mind it in things as long as it’s small. Carrot cake is fine.

    So I started trying the smallest bit raw after my wife cut up the carrots ready to boil them, and it didn’t taste too bad. I kept doing it more and more. I now quite like raw carrot, and I can eat small amounts of cooked carrot as long as it’s not overdone and still has a bit of bite.

    Start small, do it regularly, build up over time. You can learn to eat anything with a bit of persistence.

    Hope this helps.

      worst

      I concur, if only because it’s also Dutch for “sausage”, which I find highly appropriate in this case.

        Because the writer is convincing themselves to take a course of action by looking at the worst case scenario and finding it not too bad. It’s meaningless to argue

        “I should try it because this bad thing could happen”,

        unlike

        “I should try it because this bad thing is the worst that could happen”.

        Worse is a comparative and worst is the superlative. So, without something to compare to, using the comparative is a bit odd (though, at least for this phrase, I think anyone would understand what was meant).

      When I’m sick and hack up a large wad of mucus, it’s much easier to spit it out. Considering that the collection of fluids op may be talking about is mostly mucus, it’s similarly easier to spit than swallow.
