I was just wondering what is the nastiest food from your childhood that you remember. For me it's something my dad would make. My mom hated to cook and she wouldn't. She would pop a frozen lean cuisine in the microwave for herself and everyone else was on their own. So when my brother and I were growing up my dad made dinner for us. He tried but he totally can't cook. We ate lots of pizza and hamburgers, but one thing he would make was really nasty. He would take Mac and cheese, and it was the totally gross kind with the packet of cheese powder, dump in a can of cream of mushroom soup and dump in a couple of cans of tuna. How gross is that!
And something even more horrifying showed up at thanksgiving. My grandma would make this totally disgusting thing she called a molded salad. It was cans of mixed vegetables in green Jell-O. I can't even imagine how she ever thought that up. I have no idea how it tasted because the site of it made me want to totally yarf.
So what are some gross foods from your childhood?
Tripe and Onions boiled in milk.
How about that for a delicacy!!

Creamed spinach. It tasted like my mother scraped the grass off the bottom of the lawnmower and then boiled it.

Ohhh that sounds tasty!! Have to try!! Maybe we should rename this thread??
Mom was a great 'boot camp' cook, both parents ex-military. Had lot'sa "
creamed chip beef on toast".
Nastiest I've tasted was stuff put on my thumb to keep me from sucking it.
Was 5 before finally quitting.
What kinda tuna???
Molded salad was popular for a while and I ate it. Tripe isn't bad when it's in Menudo. Boiled tongue is very good when sliced and used in a sandwich as it almost melts in your mouth however the one thing I had a problem with when I was young was broccoli. It had a bitter taste and it was only after I was older that the bitter taste faded away. Part of the problem is I am a super taster and I can find a single caraway seed in a loaf of bread.
Asparagus, I get the same flavor by snorting snot.

Cow stomach. Something else that really sucks and maybe my Australian friends can explain their passion for Vegemite. Can't leave off limburger cheese.
Not from my childhood. There was nothing I wouldn't eat back then. One of my favorite meals was liver & onions with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. My birthday dinner was usually baked (Michigan) whitefish. However when I was an adult I was introduced to salmon croquettes. Just the smell of them cooking could make me gag.

There are two ways to eat Okra. You can boil it and then the best thing to do with it is to throw it away unless it part of another dish and used as a thicker. The other way is cut it into half inch by half inch strips, coat it in a batter and deep fat fry it like fish, onion rings or french fries. When it's properly cooked, I prefer it to french fries though it's a tough call against onion rings. If you want a little extra flavor, use ranch style dressing as a dipping sauce.
I can't even imagine battering and frying it. I had to google scrapple. That sounds disgusting. Tongue sounds pretty nasty too. Ewww. And I found out Brits have their own form of Vegemite called Marmite. You Aussies and Brits are wonderful people but you do have some strange food. Tim Tams are awesome though.

She would put bacon in sometimes too. Oh, the waste...Mom tended to overcook meats. It was an eye opener when I ate over my younger older sister's house and had rare steak. I was hooked rare beef. She also used to save clam juice and I got a shocker when I thought it was something else...The other thing I hated was when she made head cheese. She was industrious and born in 1922, knew how to get by, but her daughters and sons were probably better overall cooks. She could make a decent pineapple upside down cake though and thanksgiving was always good.

I never had a juicy burger until I left home. Mom could make anything taste like shoe leather. Have you ever eaten round steak. It's like my dogs chew toy when cooked. Don't look for marbling it don't have any.
Okra and brussel sprouts are definitely on the no list and I think Julia's mac and whatever. Haven't tried tongue or head cheese. Fried chicken liver, hearts and gizzards is good, love fresh beef liver and onions, SOS in various ways was a navy family staple and good. I could not bring myself to try the street vender's split roasted goat head in Italy. I've tried quite a few things and thought most were good. Another Italian dish I didn't try while I was living in a hotel there was a seafood soup. It had all the sea had to offer and looked like someone boiled the aquarium.

Tripe is good in Menudo (which is good for hangovers BTW).
And Okra is pretty good in Gumbo.
I had something once that sounds bad but was instead very good. An Eskimo gave me a slice of muktuk, raw whale fat with some salt. It was like biting into a soft sponge soaked in oil but it tasted almost like peanuts.

When I visited Portsmouth, England many many moons ago I would see signs advertising Roasted faggots. I new the British called cigarettes fags but was pretty sure that was not it. There was a second possibility going round in my head but I was Positive it wasn't that one either. I'm pretty sure that one would have been illegal.
No, I never did buy any to find out what they actually were.
Two things I did not like as a child. Boiled okra...liver.
My parents told me one evening at dinner I was going to sit at the table until I ate the boiled okra my mom put on my plate. Around 9PM they let me get up from the table and throw the okra in the trash.
My mom told the story when I was around 6 months old about my grandmother trying to feed me liver baby food. She said I spit it back out and fought to keep from being fed any more. I did try it a couple of other times, the last time when I was around 11. It was still as bad then as it was 10.5 years earlier.
I remember eating liver once. My mum just cooked it and served it. ALone, with nothing else. Of course it was going to be disgusting! I've gotten over it now, and make the most delicious liver you'll ever taste.
I also remember "guiso de mondongo", which is a kind of tripe soup. I remember trying it, but it must have been so awful I deleted the taste.

Liver was one of the few offal foods I could eat until I did my Zoology degree (Sheffield Uni Zoology Dept if there are any who know it). I was doing the parasitology practical class and there was a chunk of liver with flukes in it. It was fascinating watching this thing writhe and move in the tray it was on. In fact it was so fascinating I have never touched liver without gloves on since.

Must admit my first introduction to sea food oysters was memorable but we will leave that story for another day. Actually don't remind me.
I probably got caught up in translation.
What is Buffalo oysters?
Rocky Mountain oysters, also known as prairie oysters in Canada, is a dish made of bull, pig or sheep testicles. The organs are often deep-fried after being peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, and sometimes pounded flat. This delicacy is most often served as an appetizer with a cocktail sauce dip.
Sorry Dev >:-)
It's all fun and games until you're the one they harvest the oysters from! >:-)

I like liver and onions. I soak the liver in milk for 2 hours before I cook it and it doesn't have that strong liver taste. The taste is much more mellow. My dad even likes it and he has bad memories of his mom making him eat liver growing up.
Ok well I have a couple of dishes I refused to eat growing up on a farm.
First up, pig brains! My grandma would fry these for grandpa. They were stored frozen in water in a plastic container so the day before this container would sit in Grandma's sink to thaw. Nothing like seeing a container of brain sitting there.
Second thing grandma would cook for grandpa, kidneys. This was the worst. Kidneys fried in a skillet give off the oder of what kidneys do. You know, make urine. There were a few morning gs walking into Grandma's house through the kitchen door and I was overcome by the smell of pee! So gross I'd turn around and leave.
Foods I do eat: fried okra, can be done just like fried zucchini slices, cow tongue, after cooked it even is good sliced on sandwiches. I love sourkrout with brats or polish sausages and mashed potatoes. braunschwager for sandwiches. I've eaten blood sausage. It's not bad but the idea is kinda gross.

Black olives? Are you nuts girl? They are good though I like the large green ones better. There is something black that has the same effect on me Lady.... Black licorice That flavor turns mt stomach and there are very few things the will do that. When I was in of about 3rd garade I had a bad cold. My mom gave me a measured dose of Nyquil and told be to take in like a shot of whiskey. I did and when I hit my stomach it bounced. It bounced right back up out out of my throat as fast as it went in. Nope no licorice for this girl.

I love olives of any kind. I especially like the huge green ones stuffed with a garlic clove. I could eat a whole jar of them. Saltines are ok. When I was little my dad would put peanut butter between 2 saltines for me as a snack. Licorice, what can I say? Some foods are just wrong. Licorice is at the top of that list. Ewww!

I think it's more acquired than genetic. When I first had it it tasted like soap, which I'm told is common. Over time I find it adds a nice touch to some dishes but a little goes a long way.

Green beans are best fresh. I've never had frozen green beans that didn't taste like cardboard. Canned ones are mushy and tasteless. I cook fresh ones with something to give them flavor, bacon,ham, something. And I cook them until they are soft enough to eat but still have just a little bit of bite in them. I totally hate mushy vegetables.
I hate avocado.... love artificial liquorice but not the real stuff....love liver and onions, tripe and tongue.... hate bread pudding....this Canadian girl also enjoys Vegemite and hates tapioca.... can't stand cilantro and kale ... that pretty much it

Sorry everyone that likes cheesecake. You all must be inhuman. I have never met a cheesecake that didn't taste horrible. My friend Peggy loves to tell the story of a time we both attended a thanksgiving party where someone had the audacity to bring a beautifully decorated pumpkin pie. I got me a piece. As I walked past Peggy she stopped me and tried to get me to give her my piece of pie. Of course that didn't happen. She watched as I took a bite.. you got it, cheesecake. ewwww I could not believe something that looked so delicious could have been corrupted so horribly. I guess my face reflected my disgust as Peggy laughed and laughed and still laughs every time she tells the story.(which she does often) I reiterate Cheescake is NOT fit for human consumption.
Now I'll disagree with Norma too. Cream cheese frosting it good. especially on carrot cake.

I remember other kids hating mincemeat pie. I neither hate it, nor love it.
Now... spaghetti squash... that's just blech! Stringy disgusting stuff that is only good for fertilizing others plants.
For some reason my grandmother made a big pot of fish-head soup when I was young and impressionable.
I looked in the pot, gagged, and left the kitchen. My grandmother was the best cook ever and this was
the only thing she ever made that I could not deal with. The eyeballs floating in the bowl were to much
for me. I do not recall an actual taste. Organ meats have never been on my list of favorite foods either.
Now, on to tastier foods! There are next to zero bad cheese cakes! I like them all way to much and
really have a hard time saying no to the second slice of the chocolate, berry, or mocha varieties.

I remember other kids hating mincemeat pie. I neither hate it, nor love it.
Now... spaghetti squash... that's just blech! Stringy disgusting stuff that is only good for fertilizing others plants.
Mincemeat is nasty! It looks disgusting so I have never wanted to try it. Now spaghetti squash is good. I make it with alfredo sauce made from pureed cauliflower and vegetarian mushroom meatballs. Yum! Almost no calories either. My dad and brother think squash is totally disgusting, so no, they would never eat it. Those 2 are so suspicious of new food. They examine any new dish I make carefully. God forbid I disguise some healthy vegetables and they ate them.

Now now Julia, You just are letting the name mincemeat color your thinking. There was once a time when mincemeat did in fact have meat in it but not these days. Mincemeat is a mixture of chopped dried fruit, distilled spirits and spices. You have to look far and wide for a jar or make it from scratch to find mincemeat with some sort of meat in it. I like the Crosse & Blackwell Rum & Brandy Mincemeat brand as it tastes wonderful. Mincemeat is predominately made with apples and raisins these days. Mincemeat pie is my favorite kind of pie. Oddly enough I've never really cared for apple pie. Mincemeat is a lot more spicy.

Canned spinach always made me gag.
Now that I am embracing my girly side, I find that I don't really gag easily.
Okra is pretty much like slugs picked up off the sidewalk after a rain, and then boiled in snot.

Another good one is spiral cut zucchini sautéed in butter or olive oil and spiced to taste then covered with spaghetti sauce. I personally like it either with some curry powder & turmeric or Cajun spices, depending on the night.

Pumpkin and pecan pies are good too Since mincemeat pies are difficult to come by I usually order a slice hot cherry pie if it's available as a substitute.
Julia, you just added that last to be mean didn't you? lol (yes, you get an ewwwww for it)

I've found most of the foods I disliked as a child, are now some of my favorites. But to this day, cream corn is vomit in a can, absolutely disgusting.
There are very few other foods I won't eat due to flavor. Unfortunately there are way too many foods I can no longer eat due to allergy.

School mashed potato made using mash potato powder, lumpy, grainy and with lumps of unmixed powder served cold using an ice cream scoop. I haven't been able to eat mashed potato since then. 🤢

I think cream corn is nasty too. Interestingly though, the lady next door gave me a recipir for spoon bread made using creamed corn and it's awesome. It's like cornbread bread pudding.
When I was a child, a number of foods (especially in school dinners) made me throw up, but the ones most guaranteed to were warm sago pudding and mayonnaise. I wasn't allowed to say no, no matter how often they saw me vomitting, because of the "starving people in the world" and because it was rude to refuse to eat the food you were offered.
I have eaten cold sago since then but I still loathe mayonnaise, which is an ingredient of just about every ready made sandwich. I think that I am in love with Bruce Willis, perhaps because in The Whole Nine Yards, his character says
"I'm gonna keep the coke and the fries but I'm gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I'm gonna come over to your house, I'll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door".
(I think that I may have been a bit in love with him even before then, as long before I saw the movie, I had a dream in which doctors had given me a sex change and told me that my new name would be Demi.)

Oh no, a miracle whip lover. I've never liked miracle whip. Ewww. My dad is a miracle whip lover too so that's what he bought when I was little. I wouldn't ever eat the sandwiches he made me but I always ate sandwiches at my grandmas house. He finally figured out why and started buying mayo to use on my sandwhices like normal people do.

When I visited Portsmouth, England many many moons ago I would see signs advertising Roasted faggots. I new the British called cigarettes fags but was pretty sure that was not it. There was a second possibility going round in my head but I was Positive it wasn't that one either. I'm pretty sure that one would have been illegal.
No, I never did buy any to find out what they actually were.
I think that someone else told you what roasted faggots are, but I think that you were too quick to rule out the second possibility. Tom Brown's Schooldays is a classic about the adventures of a young fag (servant to older boys) at Rugby School. This is what happened to him because he refused to sell a lottery ticket (courtesy of Project Gutenberg):
"Very well then; let's roast him," cried Flashman, and catches hold of Tom by the collar. One or two boys hesitate, but the rest join in. East seizes Tom's arm, and tries to pull him away, but is knocked back by one of the boys, and Tom is dragged along struggling. His shoulders are pushed against the mantelpiece, and he is held by main force before the fire, Flashman drawing his trousers tight by way of extra torture. Poor East, in more pain even than Tom, suddenly thinks of Diggs, and darts off to find him. "Will you sell now for ten shillings?" says one boy who is relenting.
Tom only answers by groans and struggles.
"I say, Flashey, he has had enough," says the same boy, dropping the arm he holds.
"No, no; another turn'll do it," answers Flashman. But poor Tom is done already, turns deadly pale, and his head falls forward on his breast, just as Diggs, in frantic excitement, rushes into the hall with East at his heels.
"You cowardly brutes!" is all he can say, as he catches Tom from them and supports him to the hall table. "Good God! he's dying. Here, get some cold water—run for the housekeeper."

I will eat and semi-enjoy most foods (mainstream foods not stuff like crickets). I even was ok with liver and onions as a kid.

Okra is pretty much like slugs picked up off the sidewalk after a rain, and then boiled in snot.
Okra.. omg yuck. it not the putting it in your mouth. It getting it to your mouth that takes any value away. Go harvest that weed. It matures in August. The only thing moving or making a noise is crickets. Air is dead still. Sun beats down to suck every ounce of water out of everything this side of a cactus.
You have to carry a sharp blade just to get it off the plant. You gotta wear long sleeves and long pants because it is cover in little spiny things that will slice you up. So just to get it in the basket you have sweated off 10 lbs and its still 10 AM, get enough cuts for a year and enjoy a bit of quality time in a field. FTS.
Then back to the house while someone calls the ambulance for medically induced hydration. So you avoided a day in the hospital and its not even lunch time yet. YEA MFer. Get to cutting that Okrie up. Same knife to cut off is use to slice those tender delicacies up while still avoiding those poking spiny things. God, life is good. Good news foodies, there is some sort of death inducing slimy stuff that is released when sliced and diced. Not sure of it actual composition but it seems to have a toxic glow to it. And it is slimy. Slimy enough to slide Pharaohs pyramid block a 100 feet from one Okrie juice.
Now time for grandma to get to work. Beat a fresh egg. Break out the Hoovers fine ground corn meal. Dunk. Swish in corn meal and then promptly drop into 3 day old 9 times used over heated hog lard. Not the good store bought stuff but grandpa rendered lard. The reallly good stuff. It spits and sputters. Hot liquid lard flys everywhere. Remarkably, it has GPS tracking and finds that one tiny place of flesh that you have that is exposed. Usually near the eye. OMG fun now.
Granny yells..quick quick quick get the strainer spoon. OMG, the intensity. Where oh where is the spoon. Dig through the drawer. Not the spatula, not the fish filet knife. OUCH. Throw the jar filling funnel across the double wide. Not that spoon, moron. That's the pea dippin' spoon. The strainer spoon. Gotta find it now. The fresh sh.. okra is overcooking. Only city idiots mistake the mashed potato spoon for a strainer spoon. There it is. Wedged under the tea strainer. Grab it and fling it to Granny just in time. She dips them wonderful(???) golden brown fried okrie out. Lay them out on paper towels like the gourmet cook at the truck stop does. And gives you that evil Granny look. You know that one that says you dodge a bullet but you did not dodge my opinion of YOU. You prefer the bullet, but them okrie are ready to get the chomp on.
You only want to go out on the porch and sweat and wait for Juniors Fancy Pizza to arrive.

It is my considered opinion that most of you here have no idea of what tastes good as you do 'not like good foods and like terrible foods. In all fairness, there are some exceptions.

Laurie, I'm not offended by your post and to prove it you will be receiving by post one Miracle Whip cheesecake,... with okra.
I once asked my brother-in-law, a baker, to make a cheesecake for me with pecan pie filling as a topping. He made it for me. It was so we'll received by his co-workers that they began selling it.
On the plane ride home I requested a cup of coffee and pulled it out. Another passenger asked the flight attendant for some and was disappointed to find out I had brought it on board. He offered me $10 for the slice. Of course I refused.
My major food pet peeve is any overcooked meat. Needless to say, that was the only way my father would eat it or allow anyone to eat it in his presence. I got him, a WWII vet back. I developed a taste for creamed chipped beef on toast.
Mmmm! I should buy some. Haven't had it in forever!

That would indeed be the nastiest food yet mentioned here. Pardon me I think the toilet is calling :icon_mrgreen:
I am into mostly healthy foods after losing a bunch of weight several years ago but still have a difficult time with peas. Yep, plain ol peas. I'll explain.
Technically this was on the edge of childhood but I'll tell ya about my summer job in high school, small redneck town in the 1970s. Logging was too dangerous so the best paying job at that age is driving a tractor. Pea harvest time! Although not as statistically unfortunate as logging we weren't allowed to start the job until completing a course with a movie showing exactly what happens when you don't pay attention around farm machinery. But that isn't what caused my near-permanent loss of appetite for peas.
My shift was 6pm to 6am driving an ancient tractor, the type you see rusting away as yard art in Montana - probably lacks the minimum safety equipment to park it inside a museum. Each tractor towed a huge beast of a machine, this massive pea combine full of gears and conveyor belts and claws all designed to shake and make noise. Start on a row at exactly 1-1/4 miles per hour (2 kph). Drive a straight line for 15-30 minutes, turn around, do another row and then stop so a truck can pick up the load of peas. By midnight I am half asleep, incredibly bored but the pay was about triple other high school jobs. Nobody took this job because they were fascinated by this insanely dull task - it was something to endure.
At 2 or 3am the boredom was too much and you would hear the tractor in the next row bump up the engine just a bit and they were going slightly faster than you, looking over and daring you to do the same. Pea combine racing! I bumped my speed up just slightly. They did the same. Now we are going maybe 1-1/2 miles per hour (2.5 kph). Bump the speed up again just a bit and... my combine jams.
Shut both engines off and grab the wicked looking knife we are each issued at the beginning of the shift, and a flashlight. My job now is to un-jam the machine. This involves climbing inside something the size of a small apartment completely tangled with pea vines and it is raining green slime mixed with pea juice. You can't out-wait the cold green rain because it won't quit dripping this crud for 15 minutes and at that point I'd lose a good paying job. This stuff is raining down my back, it's in my ears, I look up and it's in my eyes. The reason I have to look up is I need to climb up with my knife and cut the tangled mass off the machinery axles and those axles contain grease - and it's all raining on me and now my arms are covered in greasy pea vines. My boots go splorp splorp as I climb and cut and untangle this disaster in a dark tangled jungle encased in ancient machinery. Even my socks are now soaked in pea juice. Very sexy. And even without tractor racing this happened every couple shifts. But in high school, to heck with being rational - tempt fate by speed-walking these mighty tractors and your neighbor might be the one with a jammed combine to untangle and I get to laugh... only to have mine jam on the next row.
By the end of summer the interior of my truck was pea juice green. The seats, the carpeting, even the seat belt. At 6am I didn't care - all I wanted to do was get home and fall asleep by 7am.
When I tell people the following I really mean it: I am not a vegetarian because I love animals. I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
i have no idea what it actually was, but we went to some kind of potluck and i saw a fish dish. well i love fish so i got some, and much to my horror, it tasted like pine. like biting right into a sappy old pine tree. i wish i knew the name of it so i could avoid it forever.
but aside from that... sweet pickles and miracle whip are at the top of the list.

Kendra, I love vegetables too but I hate peas. If I'm making something that calls for peas I always leave them out. I've been reading recipes that sounded awesome and then it calls for peas and it's ruined. My dad said I've always hated peas and that when he tried to feed me strained peas when I was a baby I would spit them back out. See, even babies know what's nasty. Lol

Yours sounds way more appetizing than the one my gran would serve, 3 day old bread, Milk, sultana's and occasionally some raspberry jam....makes me shudder just thinking about it... :eusa_sick:

Now that sounds like something I could eat [emoji4]. Julia it's settled, you're moving to the UK as my personal chef!

Are you sure? She won't cook peas. I'm a great cook and I'll eat or cook anything!
Wait, what's it pay?

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!
Think outside the voice box!

Oh I cook peas, I just don't eat them. My brother totally loves fresh peas. I always said he was a little weird. Lol
Pay? What? Hehe

Miracle Whip is good!
Y'all obviously must live in an underprivileged area where Duke's Mayonnaise isn't available. LOL

Helmans is very good. But ANY mayo is better than miracle whip. Yuck! :icon_weee: my dad actually asked me if I could make potato salad with miracle whip. :icon_blah: :icon_yikes:
As Miracle Whip can't easily be brought in the UK, I'm not in a position to judge, but Helmans is a top brand here.

You're missing the great food feud Megan. Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise are the Hatfields verses the McCoys of the food world. You either on one side or the other.
And Miracle Whip is the winner. (would I lie?)
Hugs,
Laurie

Miracle whip is good in food. Mayonnaise is good for your hair.

Mayo serves are a seal if you will that helps prevent the grease from the burger from mushing up the bun.

Other than Julia, I would suggest you look up the meaning of the word chunder before commenting on Cindy's post. As expected, Cindy really knows how to turn a phrase. Seems to be something out of The Exorcist

I know what "chunder" means. I imagine there's a good deal of beer involved in those Saturday nights as well
