Food you hated as a kid

Finish your plate!  

15 members have voted

  1. 1. When you were a kid and there was something on your plate that you didn't want to eat, how did you get rid of it?

    • Did you feed it to the dog?
    • Did you feed it to some other animal, or a sibling?
    • Did you push it to the edges of your plate, trying to make it look like less?
    • Did you try to stick it underneath the table, planning to come back later and remove it?
    • Did you try to sneak it on to a sibling's plate?
      0
    • Did you take one last giant mouthful, discretely excuse yourself from the table, and spit the whole mess into the toilet?
    • Did you try to bargain?
    • Did you try bribes?
    • Did you refuse and suffer the consequences?
    • Did you throw a fit?
    • Did you eat it and make a scene - gagging, clutching your stomach, moaning, retching, and rolling on the floor?
    • Did you have a more creative solution?

Yeah - in retrospect - and after reading some of the stories here - I think I had it pretty good.

I definitely did, comparing these stories! I don`t think I`d have "thrived" as a child (with being such a fussy eater) in any other house :no:

I like rhubarb, but I never tried pumpkin or silverbeet (I don't even know what silverbeet is). I don't mind cabbage, but I can't stand parsnip, turnip,  and I absolutely detest sprouts (  :puke:  )

These are all some of the best.

 

Cabbage: best in bubble and squeak (make sure to use gobs of lard)

 

Parsnips: excellent roasted

 

Rhubarb: nothing beats a good rhubarb pie

Parsnips roasted with butter and sugar! :drink:

Rhubarb pie too.

I once spent about two hours as a kid forced to stay at the dining table until I finished my sprouts! :laugh:

 

That's hardcore.

 

If I didn't like something I just had to take one bite and give a look of disapproval. Job done. :laugh:

I voted for "Hiding it under the table".

Some days very busy Mom would spread some liverwurst on pumpernickel and set it down for a quick lunch.

Some times it just wasn't going down well. We hid the breads under the piano.

One major cleaning day the furniture was pushed around and under the piano were small curled dried up things. 

Not a spanking day, but grounded and no toys for, what seemed like, forever.

Yes, that's the term she used. I was sitting under a tree in her front yard when it started to rain and that's basically what she said!

Brussel Sprouts - Satan's turds!

 

Hated them with a passion when I was a kid and still dislike them 40 odd years on!
