Nothing.I was a pig then,am now and always will be.I'm like Mikey but all grown up and still eating everything in sight.I did however get a hold of a rotten cucumber when I was a kid,but it looked fine on the outside.It tasted so awful when I bit into it (through the skin and all) that I couldn't eat cucumbers for years afterward.
Deer meat! It wasn't so much that I didn't like it, because on many occasions my parents fooled me by saying it was beef. However, the thought of eating the poor deer I saw butchered in my garage wasn't very settling!
Traditional Christmas Eve Dinner. Never meat. Always Baccala (salted cod), spaghetti with some butter, and maybe a vegetable. "White" was the theme and I never subjected our kids to this "tradition".
As a kid, my dad would say to me, "You'll know you're a man when you can appreciate liver and onions, scotch, a good cigar, and strong women." Never got that liver thing...
okra made me vomit, so to teach me a lesson they planted the whole garden in it one year. My job was to hoe it and pick bugs off the plants. We had a whole freezer full. Terrible winter at the table. After I threw up in a bowl, Mom made me finish every bite.
I have to go with liver, too. But running a close second is something my mom called tunaburgers. It was pretty much a Miracle Whip tuna salad sandwich on a hamburger bun, baked until the house smelled like hot cat food and the whole thing turned gray. It was no wonder that I looked forward to school lunches.
We were lucky to have food to eat when I was a kid, and oftentimes we didn't. There isn't much food that I can think of that I would not eat. I used to hate liver but I got so hungry one time, I not only ate it but I cooked it myself. When you have a 50lb bag of potatoes to eat on all week you look at things differently.
Nothing... We all ate the meal on the table and were thankful to have it. Wild greens from the fields was a staple, along with home-made biscuits stuffed with molasses or butter.
Liver and sardines! My mom would cook the liver for my dad but since she didn't like it either she made everyone else something else to eat. The smell of it cooking made me sick.
2:01 My grandmother used to make dandelion greens. They were good! Now everyone just sprays them with weed killer. They don't know what they are missing.
Industrial canned peas. I disliked the taste back in the dark ages and I still don't like them today. I also won't eat deer, rabbit, or squirrels. Growing up we had friends and relatives that loved to hunt and they would share with our family. I cried every time my mom fixed any of them.
You all are eating okra all wrong. Wash, cut off the stem end, slice, flour, salt, and pepper it, then fry it in hot oil. Just like eating popcorn, can't stop eating. You cannot boil the slimy stuff or put it in soup, no, no, no, you have to fry it.
9:03 is on the ball! Fried okra is excellent, and so is fried eggplant. But I have to agree with the anti-liver crowd, that's prison chow! Or dog chow.
Corn pudding, stewed tomatoes, and overdone roast beef that you needed a saw to get through and lots of ketchup eat it! Also overcooked lima beans. They used to overcook vegetables until they were mushy with little to no flavor!
Canned or frozen spinach. It's great in a salad, but mushy on my plate taught me to gag! Also Miracle Whip. My mom always told me it was mayonnaise, so most of my youth I thought I didn't like mayo.....until I had some, real mayonnaise.
Stuffed peppers, Mom thought they were delicious, me not so much
