Food you hated as a kid.

[backlash]

I like raw oysters with Tabasco sauce. I eat sushi too.

 

[Morgan101]

I'm trying to figure out what vegetables you do eat. Potatoes, corn, green beans, carrots?

Yes. All of those. Spinach. I know. Very unusual for such a picky vegetable eater to like spinach. Asparagus, Beets, most of the leafy green vegetables. I love salad. Somehow I have made it this far and stayed pretty healthy. My blood pressure is good and my cholesterol is sinfully low. My doctor tells me both are much better than I deserve.

Now that is something I have changed, but not because I don't like them. I love oysters. Used to get them on the half shell all the time. Then I read that oyster beds were getting polluted, and people were getting hepatitis from raw oysters. I still like them but opt for cooked Oysters Rockefeller.

 

[Cascadian]

I can't think of anything. I was an eating machine. I was always the last one to leave the table since I would eat whatever was left. I didn't get over 100 lbs until my second year of highschool.

 

[UrbanHunter]

I did not like SNAPPING TURTLE SOUP, often made at our neighbor's during big gatherings! Yucky green slop!!

That is so funny, you got me to thinking about the time my dad caught a snapping turtle while fishing for catfish. He had no idea what he was doing, as he was trying to get that thing open by lantern light, the next thing you know the turtle had a hold of him, the hollering and going on was terrifyingly funny. I don't know all the tools involved before it was all said and done, but I do know that only the dogs ended up eating that turtle... Thinking back on it alcohol may have been involved....

You just need a good one to start with.
A whole lot of good meat in this one, tastes like chicken!

All of it tastes like a mouth full of warm crap to me, I've tried several, from several different cooks, all the same.
and I've eaten cane rat on a stick and rattlesnake! Now snake tastes like chicken!
I hate turnips and rutabagas too, but oddly I adore the greens and I will eat them cold pickled, but any other way,
the very smell of them cooking makes me sick. no idea why.

 

[RidgeRunner]

Liver. Not then, not now.

 

[Magus]

I love liver, always have. Spinach as well. Maybe I have a borderline iron deficiency?
Or maybe I'm a vampire. LOL
No. too fat and ugly to be a vampire. LOL

Now I have a mind worm going through my head. An old Monty Python ditty:

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly polly fish heads,
Eat them up,
Yum.

A great big thank you, Weedy. Now it's really stuck in my pea brain, along with visuals.

 

[Tirediron]

Lutefisk, pickled pigs feet, brains and prairie oysters. We never saw any store bought food and ate nose to tail.

We ranch the foothills and bush, I could never figure out why they got that name, they are better the more beer you drink, but I will second your list, And add rice, damn that crap annoys me

 

[Weedygarden]

A great big thank you, Weedy. Now it's really stuck in my pea brain, along with visuals.

I have no memory of hearing it before, so I HAD to find it. And then, why not share it? LOL!

 

[Magus]

I really won't eat any cold blooded creatures other than some fish, it's my feeling that things like turtle, frogs and snakes potentially carry some diseases that could be harmful to me, I actually follow a blood type diet and with my blood type, it pretty much follows the Levitical food laws.

I refuse to consume any meat from another predator, grass eaters only on my plate.
Predators carry worms, TB and trichinosis.

 

[winds-of-change]

I never liked watermelon, tomatoes, any sautéed greens, fish of any kind. Now I eat and really like all of those.

Good to see you winds!

Thank you. I’ve been negligent and I’m sorry.

 

[Tirediron]

Funny thing about liver, I like it, just can stand the smell of it cooking

 

[Magus]

Sautee it in green peppers, mushrooms and onions.
it kills the smell, it smells a bit like hamburgers.

 

[Bacpacker]

I hated liver growing up. Found out it was just how it was cooked. Wife does a great job with it, we don't have it a lot but it is very good.
I do and always have detested cooked greens of any kind. But other than kale will eat most any raw green.

 

[Magus]

Kale is nasty until you mix two parts mayonnaise and one part vinegar and use it as dressing.

 

[Double R]

Might have to try that!

 

[backlash]

When I hunted we always had liver and onions with fried potatoes and onions the night after someone killed a deer or elk.

I don't like vinegar either

 

[Amish Heart]

Kale is nasty. Husband and the animals like it though, so I plant it.

I wasn't wild about cooked greens as a child either, but it was how they were cooked. As an adult I like it. I was just thinking today that it is something that I like to cook from fresh greens, with bacon, and the day may come when I will not have bacon to cook it with. I like bacon in my beans as well, but sometimes have other meat in them, such as ham hocks.

 

[VThillman]

I'm going to count caster oil as food. I much preferred Father John's.

 

[Amish Heart]

I was always given S.S.S. Tonic as a kid. That was nasty.

 

[Magus]

Black draught here. Loved the taste, hated the run to the john!
