When I was a kid, I refused to eat eggplant. Whenever I did have to eat it, I made a big fuss about it and did not enjoy it. I carried this prejudice with me into adulthood, until a particularly tasty eggplant parmesan and some decent ratatouille changed my mind.
But when I look back at it, I don't think it really had anything to do with how it tasted; I actually enjoyed all the other "yucky" vegetables like asparagus and rubarb.
I think it had a lot more to do with Adventure Island and Kid Icarus, in which eggplant was equated with evil/death. Does anyone remember any other anti-eggplant games? Or any other vegetables that were unfairly villified?
Does anyone know if Wonder Boy, the game upon which Adventure Island was based, also featured an energy-sapping eggplant?

Have you, by any chance, played Wrecking Crew for the NES? Maybe that's why you hate eggplant.

When you got them at the end of the bonus levels you got bonus points.
