I swore that when I became a parent that I'd never make my children eat "tripe" and "liver"....

What'd your parents prepare for meals that you didn't like eating and "swore" you'd never make your children eat that!

Liver and skim milk...I remember being tortured with that crap!!! My kids have never had either. Ironically new studies show how truly toxic it turns out to be!

Turnips.

Liver or milk?

tounge, brains (its a delicacy here), tripe and pigs feet

Grandma used to make up the turtles Grandpa would bring home, racoons too. Nasty!!

Liver...big surprise eh!! the organ that filters toxins from your system...what are peeps thinking ??? hey I know, lets take this disgusting body organ and feed it to our children and laugh as they try and gag it down

I never really thought of it that way. I love it with onions and ketchup.

Ruth, I don't think they make enough ketchup!!

Each to thier own Doll

Liver.

Cod-liver Oil. What tortuous form of liquid is this, you ask? Well, parents thought it would help prevent illness. And, it was taken like vitamins...one spoonful each morning. The smell alone would waft up your nostrils and melt your brain. Disgusting!

IF you argued with your step-monster about it, it would be put into a glass of o.j. or a bowl of oatmeal...contaminating the entire thing. Then you would have to choke down multiple mouthfuls of food/drink that tasted like the oil. Vile, I'm telling ya', the things that people force you to eat as a child!

Spinach. At four-years-old I was forced to sit for ten+ hours without any other food or drink. The deal was I had to finish my spinach or I couldn't leave the table.

I couldn't bring myself to eat what looked like the same thing a neighborhood dog and vomited a few days earlier. So, when my Dad (finally) got home from work, he told me to go to bed hungry. I was fine with that and my step-monster never served spinach again.

Stuffed peppers squash and brussel sprouts still hate em

Spinach and lima beans....

My brother loved fresh spinach that we would pick at farms and if Mom didn't wash it thoroughly, it would crunch from the dirt. (Mom steamed all our veggies so it wasn't sitting in the water) I would gag just from looking at it.

My sister loved lima beans but hated green beans. To me, lima beans are gross, the texture and color make me nauseous. My sister would sit next to me and say "Oh just eat your lima beans!!!" So my come back was "Go eat some green beans!!!" (Which I happen to love!!)

"chitterlings" also called "chitlings" horrible smelling stuff! i would walk in the house after school smell the "$hitlings" and turn around and run fast and far!

Hear hear

fried squash is great!.it makes a meal complete

growing up in Louisiana i had the priveledge of eating a variety of foods.I have had Alligator tail, Crawfish, frog legs, rattlesnake stew, snapping turtle, squirrel, gumbo, jambalaya, rabbit, but the absolute worst was red beans and rice every Monday as part of a tradition. and Zatarans seasoning on everything we ate."Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez" (sounds too much like "lazy lesbians on rolaids")
