Liver, my tough Irish Dad made me eat it come hell or high water. Any not eaten I had the pleasure of eating again the next day. I have absolutely not eaten since I left that house 60+ years ago, ugh!!!
Roast beef, overcooked and tough as shoe leather, mushy lima beans, stewed tomatoes, and corn pudding served every Sunday night for dinner. The one day of the week I starved.
Funny thing with tang. I saw the Astronauts drank it when they went into space. I've drank a glass of Tang almost every morning for 52 years. Used to mix it by the pitcher.
You know I never thought about it until I saw this. My Mother was a great cook. From scratch just about everything. Roast beef on Sundays, Fried chicken, everything - even pancakes on Saturday. And I am in my sixth decade of life and have had no health problems. I attribute it to her.
Any frozen meals. Our mother always cooked good homemade meals until our dad died and she had to go to work. Sometimes the quickest way to feed us then was stick frozen meals in the oven. Yuck!
Chitlins, tripe, kidneys and liver. All of them stink up a house while they're being cooked. Never ate brains, but I'm sure that I couldn't get past knowing what they were.
Frozen fordhook lima beans, the big ones with veins. Gag. The little canned ones were bearable, but the big ones came right back up. Dad beat my ass (said I did it on purpose) but Mom never served them again.
My Father was a waterman back in the 50s when waterman did not make a whole lot, but we were warm and happy Buttttt in Jan, Feb, Mar perch was the fish of the day every day, and twice on Sunday!!! No more fish for me.
I absolutely hated liver, or liver and onions or liver and onions with gravy.
BUT, something most people don't have to worry about nowadays, I got so hungry I not only ate liver and onions, I cooked it myself.
When you get hungry enough you will eat anything. And I was hungry a lot as a kid. We were kinda poor. Now, there isn't any food I can think of I will not eat.
I had an older brother and sister that hated liver and onions, but for some reason, I loved the meal, and it was one of my favorites. It was the only meal my mom and dad would allow them to refuse to eat, because they knew how much I liked it, and I would eat anything that my siblings didn't eat. Still like the meal to this day, but my doctor says the liver meat is not good for my cholesterol levels. If I see it as a "special" on a diner menu, I will still enjoy it once in a while. It hasn't killed me yet.
Now those pork brains, pigs feet, muskrats, and beef tongue, those are a different story.
Liver and onions smothered in gravy with red beets. Yulk! I have NEVER cooked this meal since I left home. I am 60 years old and still WILL NOT have this meal cooked in my kitchen.
