Is there any vegetable that you just will only eat it if'n it's prepared in a certain way... with me I won't eat a raw tomato, it has to be heated/cooked in some fashion or another, how about you?

There are a lot of things I couldn't eat raw, but they are obvious things, that are never eaten raw. Can't think of anything that I only eat in one way - there's always more than one good way to fix anything!

I can tolerate most vegetables but not really a vegetable eater. My mind has been changed on asparagus. Used to not like it but now that we grow asparagus it is not too bad. Here in corn country I am not a big fan of sweet corn but love it once or twice a year, but that's it for me. Tomatoes, peppers, green beans and beets are my main vegetables.
Onions, okra, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi are a no go no matter how they are prepared. Our local Mexican restaurant makes a great fajita with onions and for some reason I can devour the whole thing, onions and all.

Chinese Long Beans.
Stir fry only. Any other way, and they taste like a non-edible plant to me.
Other than that, I can't think of anything that I'm a stickler on preparation for. I'm a bit of a foodie, so I always love trying new preparations for veggies.

Canned asparagus. BLERG! Love it every other way I have tried it but out of a can it gives me heaves.

I'll eat just about anything without a fuss -- but please don't serve it to me creamed!

I don't think there's anything that can be done to brussel sprouts to make them edible. But in all fairness, they don't grow well here (I've tried, they look like mini palm trees) so maybe if they were fresh, they'd be edible.
But I doubt it.
Otherwise I agree w/meandtk, all veggies all good.

aqua, you need to fry them with bacon, cause everyone knows... everything goes great with bacon.

I like Brussels sprouts lots of ways, but I agree with daylilydude that they are best fried with bacon and a little onion. Yumm! I also have a recipe for Brussels Sprouts Gratin that I have been meaning to try. Canned peas - ick! They are mushy and dull, starchy and lacking any sweetness. Frozen peas are okay, but I didn't really like peas until I grew my own. Taken straight from the garden to the kitchen and just heated up (not even cooked, really), they are delicious. Actually, I love to stand in the garden and shell and eat them right there by the plants. Fresh peas have a clean, sweet flavor that you just can't get for more than a matter of hours after picking. I literally wait to pick mine until I am ready to shell and prepare them.

I agree about overcooked peas! With left over chicken, I usually make a kind of Chicken a la King gravy over rice or noodles. The frozen peas go in last, and only cook long enough to de-ice and come up to the temperature in the pot.

I use frozen peas in things like Turkey Pot Pie, I put them in frozen, at the last minute, so they don't overcook.
