Mom & Dad asked us to try new things but if we did not like it, we were not forced to eat it. Thank God! Brains, Tongue, Beef Heart, Cooked Spinach, Collard Greens,Beets, whole fish yes with the beady eyes, were all definate NO's with me! Still are NO's to this day. Gag!
Fried Okra is yummy. I'll eat about anything that isn't on the NO list. LOL
