Question of the Day - Tuesday, May 14

*Late Edition*

My apologies for my tardyness! Yesterday was a crazy day - for one, my BF was sent to the ER due to a workplace accident. He is OK thankfully and now back home, but has some fractures and will need surgery at some point.



Now on to the Q:







What meal from your childhood did you hate the most?






Probably pea soup, stew, and herring sandwiches with dill. But they were common dishes from both my parents cultural backgrounds, and even more prominent since they both grew up in poverty so this was part of their childhood. I highly disliked it, but learned to appreciate meals and tried my best to do so

Salmon pie.

Calves liver and onions.Had to try it. House rules: if dad didn't eat it we didn't have to either. It was a not go for dad

Calves liver

Beef liver for dinner made me want to gag. I also hated fruit cocktail for dessert.

 

[IzzysfureverMom]

Mom loved it. Back then people thought it was 'good' for them.

 

[Lari]

Chili mac, I think. Huge chunks of diced tomatoes were so gross to me.

Liver! I don't know if it was the way my mother cooked it (dipped in flour, then pan fried) or not, but it was like chewing on a piece of leather, and about as tasteless. To this day, I wouldn't touch liver with a 20-foot pole.

Look at us traumatized by liver, by far the worst.Other than everything was boiled to death

Fruit Cocktail......how old was that stuff? No texture at all. Very sweet, don't know for sure but must have corn syrup.

 

[Margot Lane]

Honestly nothing! Was so busy scrambling round in the great outdoors, I always cleaned my plate.

Liver and onions. Would go without dinner rather than eat it.

 

[PMousse]

I love that GIF in the OP of the orange cat throwing up LOL so funny!

I hated winter melon soup when I was little....then as a teenager one day I just suddenly really liked it. Still like it today.

We might need a liver thread and maybe a support group

I don’t think I really hated anything. My moms rule was always that you had to try it; but if you didn’t like it then you didn’t have to eat it. Fortunately for her; I loved almost everything.

The thing I don’t repeat in adulthood is scalloped potatoes from a box. I think I was an adult before I realized that I don’t really like them. Maybe with fresh potatoes; but not the rehydrated kind.

Stroganoff and Swedish meatballs. I realized when I grew up that I just hated egg noodles. I make some really, really good Swedish meatballs but eat it with mashed potatoes and enjoy it so much more.
