Dinners you hated from childhood (hamburger, frozen, tomatoes, defrost)

Missouri Casserole. Which was raw hamburger, sliced onions, sliced potatoes and canned tomatoes in layers baked in a Pyrex casserole. I hated it.

Also, my mom was convinced that fish was brain food so she’d buy frozen haddock in a box which I’d find floating in the kitchen sink to defrost when I got home from school and I knew I was doomed.
Dotted with margarine and a few squirts of reconstituted lemon juice and baked to within an inch of its life.

And if that wasn’t bad enough she’d bake cannedstewed tomatoes in a casserole with cubed wonder bread on top.

Horrible.

After the first taste, I refused to eat all of these:

Kidneys
Bread soup
Lamb chops


Just disgusting.

most vegetables.....in particular the little round evil spheres known as peas......throw in squash turnip cauliflower..... ..some I havent had for 35 yrs....

baked beans....the aroma of them cooking reminded me of a spring day on a farm after spreading manure.... and the taste lived up to the scent..

Liver and onions - the thought still gags me (and I wouldn't eat it then either) - she also did sweet potatoes w/all the marshmallows, etc. - took me many, many yrs. to try sweet potatoes again after that. (we won't get into that my mother thinks she's a GREAT cook but......)

Hated brussels sprouts. Still do.

Hated the fish mom made me eat every Friday.

When my mom ran out of dinner ideas she tended to cook sausage into hockey pucks, and heat up a can of hominy. I hate hominy to this day, although I can tolerate it in posole. Another thing she’d do every so often is cook yellow squash and sort of mash it. Of course it looked like vomit, and I hated even looking at it.

Black eyed peas, green beans, corn...all from a can.

How sad. Few American cooks master the four food groups : salt, sugar, grease, and vinegar.

There was something called Chipped Beef Patty? I may have the name wrong. It was a frozen "beef" patty thing, with a pat of butter. I remember telling my Mom I didn't like it, and of course "you eat it or nothing" so I ate it, and threw it up. It had gristle or something, which to this day, makes me gag.

I've always been kinda squeamish about meat in general.
