What is something you ate growing up that you never ate again once you became an adult?
For me it is hog maws, chitterlings and pig feet. In our household you had to eat what your parents cooked or you didn't eat. I haven't had any of those things since moving out of my parents home.

Add that to my list, too. Blech!
@Zster i actually kind of liked it until I found out what it was, lol
Stuffed beef heart! We were poor...organ meats (heart, liver and (shiver here) tongue) were on the table at least once a week.

@Gooniesnvrdie PUKE....(she says, delicately)
Cow tongue. Fried squid.
Later on in adulthood: meats, dairy, eggs, anything from animals.

I learned to love brussel sprouts. My daughter halves them and fries them with bacon. Maybe it’s the bacon.... lol
Rocky mountain oysters, I was tricked into eating them, never again!

Yeah, those, too. Other than corn, ANY canned vegetable.
Wax beans, lima beans, and anything my parents attempted to cook. I learned to cook at an early age just so I didn't have to subject myself to shoe leather chicken or lumpy 'gravy' over toast. Now I love to cook. So it worked out well for me.

To each their own. I won't touch the stuff with a brick!
Boiled chicken with veggies.....aaggghhhhhhhh.....there is a reason for that. If you have the timem..... One of my dad brothers had a butcher shop. He had ? next door that would kill and prep to sell at the shop. This is prior masive industrial processing...what does that mean, you may ask? It means holding one ? at the time by the head and spin it a couple of times and you get a headless ? Next, pornography kicks in... that's right, you need a naked ?. To remove feathers painstakingly one at the time and takes forever, you submerge the dead ? in hot water first, that smooth things up to pull the feathers off but the freaking smell is so freaking burned in my brain that I cannot stand boiled chicken in any way.... (Sadly I don't have the emoticon throwing up green stuff)
