Thread: The worst foods your parents tried to feed you

Lima beans and peas to this day trigger my gag reflex. I can't eat them unless they are in a Pot pie. Don't know why.

Also on my list of gross things I had to eat as a kid:

Liver and Onions
Turkey and rice soup
Fresh Water Fish. I have become much better about fish these days (I love raw tuna and salmon), but I still cannot stand Bass or Trout.

was the fresh water fish you ate out of warmer waters? That would probably explain it.

Maybe it's an Eastern thing, I will have to ask my relatives that live out there. Sounds disgusting, like mayonaise

Negative on the butter thing, at least from a Quebecer. Vinegar on fries though, now that's a different story.

Nope. The Eagle River by Glenwood Springs isn't all that warm from October - March. And honestly it's a texture thing for me, I do not like the texture of super flaky fish.

gets caught up in the hair on your tongue? Probably not a bad thing though, nobody should eat more than one fresh water fish a month anyway, too much mercury in the water systems now.

Maybe an eastern coast thing. I know my Dad grew up near Niagra and Montreal.

20 years from now Pags' daughter will be on a Chorus message board and someone will create a "The worst foods your parents tried to feed you" thread and she will answer, "Parmigiano-Reggiano that was really an American made imitation!"

You should be happy, more for you.

I don't know what it is, but the texture of flaky fish just doesn't sit with me.
