What did you HATE to eat when you were a kid?

i don't get pork chops, by the time you cut away all the rubbish your left with a bit of meat the size of a 2 pound coin
 
Agree I would rather have a pork steak

As long as you were sick on her though!! They do say revenge is a dish best served cold...............Or at least with a few lumps in it! lol
 
I'm with you on Bananas, only my antibiotics were for ear infections not tonsillitis, even the smell turns my stomach. I'm probably the fussyist unfussy eater you'll ever meet. For years I'd in spag bol, chilli, pizza, curry, but put a whole tomato in front of me and I wouldn't touch it. I'm also a Liver lover but dipped in flour and fried with lots of fried onions and mashed spuds with butter for me (I'd swop the spuds for swede now though not sure about the flour - might try frying it straight) hate, hate ,hate mayo and salad creme, like raw veg and cooked fruit I could go on and on .........

A long yellow sponge cake with red jam on it, and often squashed flies (sultanas or currants) on it. Looked disgusting. That's what we called it at our school and probably others too.
 
oh you just reminded me....

in primary school we did this thing where we were blind folded and had to taste foods and describe what they were etc, i got blue cheese

I've only eaten cheddar since, blue cheese isn't good for such a little palette
 
Beetroot and I still hate it now. Strangely I did make a chocolate cake in which beetroot was a key ingredient and it was delicious!
I don't eat things like that any more though

Hi, Anyone done school dinners? Was it just me or was there a lump in every bite of mashed potatoes? I once found a fingernail clipping in my mash and wouldn't eat anymore. The infant / junior school then, was run by Nuns and they dished out corporal punishment.
AKA; thick-ear, whack on the back of the legs (red-legs) and, their favourite, the cane for the boys. Not eating your school dinner qualified for six whacks on your open hand, mooching off school was three whacks. Every day of the week had the same meal, Friday was chips etc. so, we knew which days of the week the cooks dished out the slops and sometimes mooched off to avoid them, the punishment was less for not eating your school dinner. The Nuns had mostly returned from India and had seen the starving kids there, so fair do's I suppose.

One day we mooched school and I got caught fair and square when Sister Michael-Joseph (rest her soul) walked straight on to me in town, my mates had seen her and took off just leaving me. I still remember, she said I was to have nine whacks of the cane. When I questioned that the menu said 3 whacks for mooching off she said " ah, well, you weren't there to eat your dinner were you" She was really p****d off with me. So I told my Mam and she took no notice of the fact I'd mooched off school, but shouted in horror about her boy having 9 whacks of the cane. She repeated and shouted what I'd just said; " 9 whacks of the cane for mooching off school" she shouted just loud enough for my old man to listen in so I had a smacking off him just for bloody bad luck.

I never got the 9 whacks, it's another story.

Kind regards, Q..

Paul what on earth DID you eat? I mean you are still here alive and kicking so what did you have to keep body and soul together?

Agree wholeheartedly with the poster who said it was the way our mums cooked stuff that wrote the script for how we ate forever unless as adults we made conscious decisions to change. My mum made the most wonderful meat pies and I still love 'em but sadly don't have them now, too high carb
 

Crikey Q some kidhood! And yes lumpy mashed potato Dad used to mash it with a fork only and never got it smooth, I thought it always came like that until I got older and discovered it was supposed to be a gorgeous smooth blend. Ah well, dear old dad did his best
 
Lumpy mashed potato was how I liked it, hated the almost puree sort. Of course now I can have neither but as it happens I prefer celeriac mash anyway - lumpy of course!

When I was growing up many, many, many years ago, it was usual to boil all vegetables until they became a mush. Green veggies – cabbage, spring greens, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower were never cooked for less than 30 minutes. The result was that the house was filled with the most vile sulphurous stink. Everybody seemed to think that cabbage was so essential to life that I’m surprised they didn’t even serve it for breakfast. They tasted just like they smelt, revolting, and I absolutely refused to put it into my mouth. This used to infuriate my mother until one day she stood over me and forced me to eat some. I began to heave theatrically and then rushed off to the loo and pretended to be throwing up violently. My mother never again served me green vegetables. Result: Bill 1 Mum 0. I tried Brussels sprouts a couple of years ago, but this time only boiled for a short time, as the TV chefs recommend – they still tasted disgusting.
 
Sprouts are revolting, and I hate cauliflower too, but I love cabbage, whether it be lightly steamed or fermented as in sauerkraut or Kimchi, and I like kale too!
