SQUASH. Every now and then my mother would produce some overcooked, soggy, mushy squash. Sometimes it was zucchini, sometimes yellow squash or spaghetti squash ... I would literally gag.
I'll put some zuke in a soup, but I still can't stand yellow squash. Disgusting!
I got over most of my other aversions--yams and avocados are fine. I'll try pretty much anything except organ meats.
Once my mom had my sister and I sit in a Luby's forever until we ate our zucchini. Thought it was horrible.
LOVE it now!
Mom is a blessed memory, but I grew up and one day let her know what a witch she was that night.
The things I wouldn't eat as a kid were: beef stew (said it was too "stewie"), meat loaf, swordfish, and of all things--pizza (got sick right after I ate it once).
Now, I eat them all except I haven't retried the swordfish. But I like most all other fishes.
i could not eat cooked spinach! it made me gag. and pea soup. i told my aunt i couldn't eat her pea soup. something about the flavor and texture. but she said i had to. well, needless to say, it came back up. i can eat those things now but would choose not to
May sound crazy, but I don't remember eating when I was growing up? Must have eaten surely as I survived it, but can't remember much at all about food when I was young. I didn't actually eat much as a kid, don't think I broke 100 lbs. till I was in my twenties. I remember hating milk and mayonnaise.
I do remember a roast my mother used to make on Sundays. It was round and all tied up with string and baked in the oven. Delicious. I can't remember seeing a string tied roast since the 60's. Don't think they still exist anymore?
My mother used to make a "salad" out of bananas, cabbage and mayonnaise. It was the most disgusting thing ever. Mayo on bananas? That's just tortuously wrong.
I have to agree with you there ! This sounds like culinary blasphemy for the banana, cabbage and the mayonnaise, of all which I am quite fond of in different dishes...
I used to loathe Wild Mushrooms ( fortunately I discovered how wrong I was really quickly and now adore them)and this horrible concoction they used to occasionally serve us at school of cooked spinach and boiled eggs in a sort of white creamy sauce. It was really quite horrid especially as the rest of our school food was lovely.
