Split Pea Soup. Still can't even look at that stuff! When I was young, probably about 4, my mother made that crap for dinner on Halloween night. Told me that I couldn't go trick or treating til I cleaned my bowl. (and, as an added threat, we would get our "leftover" food cold in the morning for breakfast if we didn't clean our plates) ..... I cried and cried and she would not give in. Finally she left the room and my teenaged brother took pity on me and ate it all.....

I swore I would never do that to my children.... and I never have!!!

roast. I still do not like it, and everyone thinks I am crazy. As a kid, what was put on the table was eaten by all at the table. You did not complain, nor refuse to eat it. Mom would make pressure cooker meals, one being roast, potatoes and carrots. I loved the potatoes and carrots mashed up with the broth on them. But the meat- I didn't like. And even tho I cut it into small pieces, they seamed to grow as I chewed. I swear it was a huge hunk in my mouth and I couldn't swallow it. My sister caught me feeding it to the dog, I had to do her turn doing dishes so she wouldn't tell mom and dad. I still cook it, kids and hubby love it, but I do not eat the meat. Still love the potatoes and carrots mashed up with the broth on them.

LIMA BEANS!!!!!!! YUK, YUK, Double yuk!!!! Gag thinking about them. My grandpa had the rule that you cleaned your plate or you got it again for the next meal. Got it for lunch, got it for dinner and yep he put it back out with my breakfast. I told him he could serve it to me til Christmas
(this was in the summer) and I still wasn't going to eat it. He said just try one. Nope, didn't care if I ever got dessert again. He laughed and said that I was as stubborn as him and he hated them too. That's when I remembered he didn't have any on his plate for lunch. From that day on grandma could not put them on either one of our plates.

Wow, so many. My parents were the "eat it or else" types too, but served things like saurkraut (sp?) which I can't stand to even smell to this day, cooked cabbage, which I detest, stewed tomatoes, lima beans, and the worst of all things to try to feed a kid....pickled pigs feet. I had to sit at the table for hours, (usually until I'd get so upset I'd barf), and try to eat these not-kid-friendly means. And, I was so thin that I had to drink a special weight-gain drink. You'd of thought they'd figure out it was what I was being fed! I was also anemic, and the supposed cure was to eat liver three times a week. Talk about gagging. Will never touch it again. Yikes, this thread has brought up some bad memories...:-( Gotta go pet my new fabric.

Same here! I just happened to get the sniffles when Mom served liver and onions. I had to blow my nose a lot, and could manage to spit the liver into the tissue. I love onions - that was no problem.

She made beef heart one time that Dad happened to work late. My four sisters and I cut that heart up one side and then the next. Mom didn't make us eat it!! She would could tongue but would pickle that for my grandmother and uncle.

Vegies were no problem except for eggplant and zucchini - maybe we just had too much of them??

Peas...LMBO
My youngest brother hated them... our kitchen table had a unused silverware drawer that was built in and it was right in front of where I always sat. It was perfect for stashing his peas...I didn't mind them, but I was not eating his too LOL One day mom decided to wipe out that drawer and I got busted big time LMBO Needles to say she turned the table around so that the drawer was in front of my dad after that :D:D:D

Hated most veggies when i was a kid, especially green beans tho. whenever we had them, i would excuse myself from the table and hide in the bathroom until i heard them clearing the table, tried that at my older sisters house and when i came out the whole table was cleared ...except for my green beans. I was about 8-9 at the time, i cried and didn't have to eat them. Gotta love them big sisters lol

MEATSSSSSSS...which I still dont like and dont eat often..but LIVER would NOT touch and Turkey which I still hate...I occasionaly eat a few bites of chicken and like a BLT in summer when tomatoes are wonderful...but just dont like meat. If I ever think about what it was, DONE! If we go out to dinner and people are eating rare meat, I have to remember NOT to look at their plates..also fish with heads served on EWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
