Hey Chrissy, 
you can disregard what I said yesterday. 
I've found a better way. 
It won’t sound so yucky. You may even like it. 
How about this? 

I don’t dare to compete against your favorite broccoli sprouts. But, 
do I have a chance to beat carrots in your I-like-it things list? 

And, 
do you like me better this way? 
(You have to disregard this bit, of course, you know☺️)
