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.
Meatloaf - I was forced. Potato Salad - I was forced. Bad TV dinners - I was forced. Devil's food cookies - I had a bad experience with them, which left me psychologically damaged.
Of all of the reasons I've heard for being psychologically damaged, I must say meat loaf and potato salad are the most interesting, by far.
Actually, there are more things that I used to dislike when I was a kid and I love now than anything else. Am I the opposite of the rest of the World on this??? Lol!!!
Meat. I was raised on it, but I find it disgusting to kill and eat the carcasses of my fellow animals. So now I am a happy vegetarian.
good for you!
Escarole. I may have the spelling wrong. It's like chewy,bitter,tough indigestible lettuce. My mom used to sautee it with olive oil and add beans to it.
"indigestible lettuce".... yikes !!... that brings back other memory from my childhood. My parents place was half block away from a big market. There was a big dumpster with all kinds of rotten crap and a lot of that was lettuce... the smell, holly guacamole !!!!... as you can guess, I am not a big fan of lettuce either
Just one? There were many times I'd have preferred to not eat. It wasn't allowed, the tired old lecture about how they were poor growing up and I should be grateful.
Creamed corn. To this day, even the smell makes me nauseous.
Boiled spinach, the kind you get frozen in a paper box. Vomit-inducing.
Boiled okra. I can still visualize the slime.
Milk. Since my early teens. Again, it is (literally) vomit inducing. I am fine with ice cream, cheese etc.
Toasted mayonaise sandwiches. The mayonaise was actually Miracle Whip. Used to be my go to sandwich as a child. Doubt I've eaten one since I was 9 or 10.
Dead cows first....then no dead mammals...then, finally, no other dead animals or animal secretions.
