Worst food you had as a kid

[RebelSS]

It had to be spinach...the stuff from a can, cooked in a pot, slopped into a bowl, and vinegar poured on it. Looked like wet soggy grass to me. I remember sitting at the table until almost bedtime, because I couldn't leave the table until I had eaten everything. "We don't waste food around here, there are starving _____  _______  _____ " (you fill in the blanks). Couldn't give it to the dog; she high-tailed it outta there when she smelled that crud. That, and this hot salmon casserole with noodles and peas dish my Mom thought was terrific....what a combo...canned pink salmon, and noodles and pale canned green peas mixed with who knows what, served hot....

meatloaf without katchup, brauts without katchup, hot dogs without.......well you get the drift!!!!!!!!

seriously......spagettios! creamed corn, never had cooked spinach.......I grow it now love it in its natural form!

[RebelSS]

I just ran across THIS...!!! What would RH say??   My god, what is that....that...stuff......never saw one of these, thank god!

Venison.  

Moose was good.  Venison was terrible, with that tallow that coated your mouth inside.

hands down, no question, case closed. Canned beets.

my mom's rule was we had to at least try everything on the plate.  I remember a few times being forced to eat some stuff though.  Just made me sit there until I ate it.  My mom was gone and my dad made dinner including beets.  He made me eat some and I literally would gag.  Not even a fake kid gag but real gag.  I was probably 6 and I can remember it like it was yesterday.

When I see you clowns eating beets as adults I cringe.  Pickled sounds even worse.

I forgot the liver and onions smeared with mustard. My vote for food never counted.

[Cooperman]

We were poor (single mother raising 5 kids, so we ate pretty much everything. I do remember my Mom getting on a garbonzo bean kick. She must have bought the book 101 ways to use garbonzo beans, yuck. Anyway, I'm with Reb on the liver. I learned to always ask what there having when your friends ask you to stay for dinner, after I almost barfed at the table in front of the old man trying to swallow the 1st bite of liver.

Blood Sausage or Head Cheese as I got to see it being made1 time when I was little

[RuddyDuck]

Liver, Baked Beans(looking at the hunk of fat, aka pork, that came in the can almost always made me gag), and Cottage Cheese. Funny, I like all 3 now in my old age! Still won't touch the fat chunk though.

[thirdeye]

I was never a fan of beef liver or kidneys... which is weird because I really like chicken gizzards. 

[Dotch]

Not too many things I won't eat but parsnips for some reason never really turned my crank as a kid. Now beets were one of those foods that entertained us, especially once they'd made it through your system if you catch my drift...

[Coffee118]

Mine is uncooked tomatoes. There is nothing worse than ordering a burger without tomato & it comes with and when you take it off there is still the tomatoe slime (that's what I call the seeds) on the burger because u can still taste it. I'll eat cooked and any product made from a tomatoe but right off the vine no thanks, will lose my lunch immediately 

[smurfy]

awe gosh coffee, I can take a salt shaker out to the garden at eat maters till I burst. liver we use to eat it was ok. we ground it up and had liver soup. don't do liver no more.

gunner.........even after we made our own blood sausage I loved it. liver wurst to! cottage cheese..........why would one eat sour milk???

SAY WHAT!!!     That's IMPOSSIBLE!!! Slice 'em! Dice 'em!  Eat 'em like apples with a little salt!!!! So, that means you don't like home made salsa? Or in a salad?

I'm right there with ya.......my sister and I used to fight over who was gonna get to feed the dog their liver cause the rules were the same in our house, no leaving the table til the plate was clean.  Makes me gag to this day just thinking about it.

Fried chicken gizzards n hearts are what i half survived on in college one year, along with venni and salmon and trout I could catch outta Lake Superior.  Little salt and pepper or a shake in flour and the same and into a fry pan.  Good eats there

any thing with liver and another brussel sprouts  

[Coffee118]

Sorry guys but if I was ever poisoned all I would have to do is grab a tomatoe off the vine and bite into it and instantly it will come back up , wouldn't have to go find the ipecac. Cook it and I will eat it. No I'm not a salsa person and my tacos are also tomatoe free

I don't get the brussel sprouts thing....they taste just like baby cabbages to me! Delicous! 

But then, I HATE green beans.......

I'll probably pee off more people when than when I said I prefer instant mashed potatoes to real mashed potatoes, but anyways.

Two foods I just hated as a kid (and still today):  Goulash (spelling?) and meatloaf.

But back to the mashed potatoes, my dad slapped a big pile on my plate when I was little and I was told I had to clean my plate before I could play.  I said I didn't want those potatoes, didn't like those potatoes and I was full.  Some arguing ensued and my dad didn't back down.  I again warned him I was full, like to the brim full.   Still he pressed on.  So I kept shoveling that nasty mush down my throat, and then blehhhhhhhh horfed it right back on my plate at the dinner table.   Mom says, "We shouldn't have made him eat that if he didn't put it on his plate and said he was full"

most tomatoes are such dog carp that I pass on them.    If I'm out for dinner or something and having a burger, I always say "no tomatoes" because they will inevitably come out white and flavorless.

I'll do fresh from the garden tomatoes though.

[RebelSS]

HAHAAHA!  Why did our parents force food on us like that??!! I don't get it!!! My Mom was on my case continually that I was too skinny. Blah blah blah. As you turned into a teen, ya got hollered at for eating them outta house and home. But then I grew up, then I was too fat. (Even when I was far from it) Can't win. 

[smurfy]

bobby..i agree 100% store bought don't cut it like them right out of da garden. I do can tomatoes. I call them stewed maters. them are good but came from the garden!

[RebelSS]

Sorry to post AGAIN, but that made me think of ANOTHER thing I sat at the table until bedtime because I wouldn't eat them....stewed tomatoes. Ahh god, what a way to ruin a tomato!!! I think I'd barf if I even smelled them again....

[leechlake]

good point on the liver thing.  My kids are 15 and 17 and I've eaten liver from time to time but never did I ever ponder of making it for them and expecting them to eat it.  We get the liver with our cow every year and I eat some of it.  Who would buy liver at the store for a family meal or put it on the grocery list?  There are 100 things to make for dinner before liver enters the equation.

[bobberineyes]

Call me a garbage disposal if you want, I'll eat just about anything except out dated food, warm milk which my dad would have , and friggin lutefisk that he had to have as well .
