Foods you hated as a kid!

[Nealm1]

Water chestnuts. Like chewing ice cubes.

(Though at a classy wedding reception at the country club, I had some delicious bacon wrapped water chestnut appetizers that were amazing!)

That couldn't have been a borjee weddin could it? ;o)

One word...tripe! Yech!

 

[tarallucci]

Offal

That was the word I was looking for, "frattaglie", thanks. I don't mind mushrooms preserved in oil, at least those you can buy they are great in a panino with salame, while those taken from the woods and cooked in th pan give me a viscid" feeling and I despise the smell.

Brussel sprouts and asparagus. I would puke if I had them as a kid, I love both now.

Dear God!

You just gave me a flashback to my mum making me eat those nasty little fuckers every bloody Sunday dinner.
Unlike you, i still hate the nasty little fuckers...........

I was never keen on sprouts, but mercifully we only ever seemed to have them at Christmas. These days I part-boil them, cut in half and then stir fry in butter with chestnuts. Much better.

I do the same, with garlic, no chestnuts.

Things I hated as a kid but enjoy now:

Curry
Onions

The ones I hated as a kid but love now include:

- Fresh Tomatoes (I have one every day for breakfast now)
- Liver and onions (yum)
- Raisins baked in cookies, tarts or muffins


As an adult, there is almost nothing that I don't love. Including all the things that all you picky folks still don't like.

 

[Yooper]

Carrot and Raisin Salad. Still won't touch it.

 

[nycguydowntown]

Basically the same food I don't like now: cotechino, ovine meat, wild boar, horse meat, rabbit, birds, lungs/liver/brain/heart and disgusting parts like that, blood pudding, tripe, most chinese food I haven't tried which I don't find appetizing, mustard, cabbage, polenta, eel, overdone pasta, caviar, fresh mushrooms, leerdammer...

lots of this makes a lot of sense to me-- except the Chinese food part its a major food in NYC---and I like dijon mustard---

for some reason pumpkin pie turns me off---as a kid and now.

 

[tarallucci]

Oh pumpkin I don't like either... and that long light green courgette... and those potatoes with thorns. Tasteless...

I am a picky eater---I'm very careful what I put in my mouth and that includes penis.

 

[Alistair]

I still hate mustard with a passion. Yellow mustard taste like bile to me. I judge people on their opinion of mustard.
