"...sit at the table until your plate is clean..." I remember that we had peas one night when I was a little kid and I secretly took each one and hid them under the rim of my plate. As I got up to leave the table, my sister picked up my plate and there were the peas, all in a neat little circle. I got in a lot of trouble for that.
Other things that I hate and still won't eat: beets (tase like dirt to me,) lima beans, velveeta.
