"I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!"

Green Eggs and Ham

By: Dr. Seuss

Link to the story script.

I don't remember many children's books from my childhood, but I do remember Green Eggs and Ham. I like the absurdity of the book: "Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse?" The absurdity continues with the repetition as the responder who isn't Sam repeats every possible green eggs and ham eating scenario. 

Eventually, nirvana is reached and the fact comes out - "I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!"

I was never a picky eater, so I always pretended to be Sam, pushing my food agenda on others.
