Didn't mean to bring up bad memories. We all have gone through it, with one or ten foods, most of which we cannot eat even today. I have found, tho, that cooked differently, some are very good. I like peas, now, but I grow them myself and freeze them and cook them just a little, not to death! Same with cabbage. I like it "fried". Small bacon bits and stir fry the chopped cabbage until just barely cooked. Even my kids liked that one.
I think people cooked food to death back then, because not everyone had refrigerators to keep stuff from spoiling. When I was little, we had a "cooler", a pantry on the North side of the house. I never remember having spoiled milk, but a quarter in a gallon will keep it from spoiling. And....we had fresh milk,straight from the cow to the table.
