Okay…you want to hear something really gross?

When I was a kid, after my dad died, my mom took me to see her relatives in Georgia. Wow. They cook really weird in some areas of the south. lol I remember one morning, during that visit…sitting at one of my aunt’s kitchen tables…and I noticed a possum hanging from the tree, just outside the kitchen window.

Later that night, (they ate dinner very early) my aunt placed this ‘mystery’ potpie on the table. I just sat there with a bewildered look…and said to my mom…‘what is that?’ She replied…‘oh you’ll love it, it’s possum pie.’

My aunt said…'remember that possum you saw this morning, honey? Well, it’s dinner now!" (and she laughed hysterically) :eek:

:stretcher:

I refused to eat that…so what did my mom make instead?

Banana sandwiches!😛 I couldn’t win on that trip. lol

That’s hilarious. My family is cajun. So you can guess what we eat – it’s good. Just don’t ask too many questions 😃

Oh my gosh…I hate lentils! I forgot about those.

I also don’t miss corn beef hash. :nope: I don’t like anything that has the word ‘hash’ in it. :knight2:
 
Saganaki (flaming cheese)
Black-eyed pea soup
A TON of seafood I don’t like (I do like seafood, just not as much as I was forced to eat)
Cherries
Lamb (too gamey and ugh)
Not forced to consume, but the smell makes me look like this :eek: IrishCream Coffee
Most melons (except watermelon) and grapefruit
Chili

I love saganaki!!! I never had it as a kid but I’ve loved it since I was a teenager.
 
lima beans and fish sticks
if I wanted to really do a lenten penance, this blast from the past would do it

cauliflower, cooked, just looking at it makes me sick, but I maked mashed cauliflower as the Atkins sub for mashed potato and it is fine.

garbanzo beans cold in salad,
I like hummus, and the beans are okay, marginally, in soup, but simply could not get past them in salad.

when my parents sent their dining room chairs to be refinished, they took off the cushions, and found petrified broccoli and lima beans on the seats (we did not have a dog).
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm saganiki is that anything like squingilli?
YUK!!! oooo gooey oooey and huey!

Peace,

Gail

I could eat lima beans like they were popcorn. I just LOVE them!

Different strokes for different folks, I guess (and if you have any extra lima beans, send them up here 😃 ).
 
I was forced to eat prunes (no need to ask why.) Today, I have a pathological fear and loathing of them. Even now, I begin to gag…
 
Chicken and dumplings - from the can. Sweet Sue brand to be exact. I don’t like C&D to this day! I once mixed M&M’s with sauerkraut when I was a kid…I don’t recommend it!:eek:

As far as liver goes…why would anyone want to eat something who’s primary job is to filter the toxins and waste from the body???🤷
 
As I said earlier, my parents didn’t force us to eat anything but here are some things they made that I refused to even taste based on the smell and still (30 years old) have never tried…

Saurkraut
Stuffed Peppers
Boiled cabbage
Brussel sprouts

Mom also used to make salmon patties which really stink! I used to eat them when I was little until I found bones in it. My mom said it was ok to eat them because they broke apart really easy… :dts: That’s about when I stopped believing everything my mom said. I don’t care if they DO break apart, they’re still BONES!

Good God, you had to bring up those… THINGS!:frighten:

My father, God love him, was the cook in the family (learned how to in the Army Air Corps… 'nuff said!) and once when he made rice pudding… and discovered we were out of raisins… yes, he did. We had some enormous “raisins” in that batch of rice pudding!

He was always tickled by a sign he saw in his doctor’s office–“Start a movement. Eat a prune.”

You KNOW what kind of doctor he was!
 
**I guess for me it would be sandwiches. Years of sandwiches in lunch boxes at school and I am just sandwiched out, lol. But I don’t HATE them. I don’t think I was ever really forced to eat things I didn’t like.

For my sister though it is “hamburger helper”. My sister was a more difficult/stubborn child and battles of wills ensued often. One night at dinner my sister told my mom she wasn’t going to eat because she didn’t feel well. Mom didn’t believe her and told her to sit down and eat. Well, sis ate…then promptly threw up hamburger helper. She gets queasy if you even say those two words together, lol.**
