YUK FOODS!... what foods did your mom tell you that you had to eat because it was good for you? did you eat everything?

Here are some of my all time "yuk favs".. EGG PLANT! SQUASH! PINTO BEANS!

BEETS! OKRA! SAUER KRAUT!

I tried feeding my daughter some beets and she acted as though I tried to poison her.. if you could have seen her face... I never knew a kid could have so many facial expressions in 10 seconds... complete with the waving of the arms and rolling of the eyes..!i think some of these foods would probably get us turned in for culinary abuse.. ugh! What are some of your "yuk favs"... did you really eat everything? Or did you pass it to the dog under the table?

Similar questions: YUK FOODS foods mom eat.

Let's start with the fact that my mother couldn't cook and we'll go from there lol There were any number of things that were terrible but it didn't matter what you thought. We weren't allowed to get up from the table until our plates were clean. Starving children in Europe and all that.

I think once my one of my brothers was brave enough to say so send it to them. Boy was he sorry he said that! And our dog wasn't allowed in the house so that wasn't an option either.

Some of my all time hated foods were: Onions. They came in can and she'd make a white sauce out of the juice with flour and salt. Gross!

I hated onions until I grew up and learned how to make wonderful things with fresh onions. Never bought a can of them in my life and never will. Then there was the cod fish.

Have you ever seen a cod fish that came in a perfect rectangle? I'm not sure to this day what that was all about except to tell you if you ever see it---RUN. She would take that tasteless thing, put it in a pan, pour a little milk over it and exactly two pats of butter and bake it.

We did not dare roll our eyes, comment or refuse to eat any of these little delights. It was grin and bear it. Both my sister and I have grown up to be pretty good cooks.It was kind of in self defense.

Pumpkin and boiled mushy stuff... My mom forced me to take a tablespoon of cod liver oil every day which I absolutely detested. That was when a lot of moms used cod liver oil and caster oil as home remedies. But that was not a food.

I have always hated most seafood but again, living in North and West Texas not was not a problem either. Everything else we had on the table, I pretty much liked -- except for the vegetables that were cooked to a tasteless mush Cauliflower, mushy cabbage and that sort of thing -- still hate it. However, the family story concerning me is pumpkin... we visited an out-of-town relative one time and had supper (dinner) with her.

She served a big spread, including a huge bowl of steaming pumpkin. I didn't mind pumpkin and it was kind of sweet so I ate a large serving she gave me along with the rest of the meal. She noticed that I had eaten the pumpkin so she said, "here boy, let me give you some more pumpkin" and plopped another huge serving on my plate.

I really didn't want it but my mother gave me a stern look so I forced myself to eat it. I thought I would never finish it but there were rules in my house about wasting food. Toward the end I started to cry (I was only four).

The woman was in conversation with her guests and no one was paying attention to me until I started crying. She looked over, observed my sniffling and my (finally) clean plate, and said "Why bless your heart boy, you can have more pumpkin! At that, I howled and ran from the table.

The old timers always enjoyed that story and one of them often said, "why bless your heart, you can have more pumpkin" to me at the conclusion of an extended family meal. I haven't been fond of pumpkin since.

There's really only one... ...and unfortunately we had them almost once a week in the winter time: Tuna Patties! Yep, you guessed it, cursed with Catholicism, and no meat on Fridays. In the summer we'd go fishing a lot, and I loved fresh fish.

But if we didn't have fish we caught ourselves, it was the dreaded Tuna Patties. I don't know if my mom just didn't know how to make these well, or if it is a food I just plain hate, and let's just say I haven't gone out of my way to find out. I'm not sure if I fled my faith to get away from the church - or the Tuna Patties!

Here's a recipe, in case you feel some Catholic guilt coming on, and you want to pay a penance. Make up a big batch and eat them, and all your sins will be forgiven. (2 Tuna Patties = 5 Hail Marys) 1 6 ounce can Tuna drained 1 egg 2 tbsp chopped celery ¼ cup chopped scallions 1 clove chopped garlic 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tbsp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 tablespoons parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil Mix all the ingredients and chill for about half an hour.

Heat the oil in the pan and shape the mixture into patties and fry. Make sure not to turn the patties too early as there’s a high chance of them breaking. Brown well.

This is what I looked like after my parents FORCE fed me a tuna patty: Yep. A big old temper tantrum. Try one - you'll understand!

I admit it, I did pass the things I didn't like to the dog under the table. I got caught doing it more than once! My mum used to cook tripe (cows, sheep, goats or pigs stomach).

She'd cook it in the pressure cooker, and as soon as I walked into the house I'd know she was cooking it. I couldn't even be in the same room, because just the smell of it made me dry retch, in fact it still does! Also tomatoes.

I was never able to eat an uncooked tomato. I can eat tomato sauce, soup, or canned tomatoes, but uncooked tomatoes make my stomach like rubber, they just bounce back out again! My mum also cooked sweet and sour pork.

Doesn't sound all that bad does it? Except that she didn't take the fat off the pieces of pork, and so you'd have at least half an inch of fat on each piece. I could never face eating it, and if I cut it off and left it on the side of my plate, she would make me eat it anyway.

I'd try to eat it without chewing, and wash it down with lots of water. That was a meal that I never looked forward to. I don't know if Lambs Fry is eaten here in America. My mum used to cook Lambs Fry and bacon.

Lambs Fry can include heart, lungs, liver and a whole lot of other lamb's innards. I think my mum mostly cooked the liver. It was the most disgusting meal, and the only way I could eat it was if mum made lots of gravy so that I could mask the taste of the liver, or again, I'd wash it down with lots of water.

I still can't eat any of these meals/foods, in fact just the thought of them makes me feel sick! Thanks for that MOO! LOL .

Oh yeah... I still remember everything I was forced to eat as a kid. There are things I like now that I wouldn’t eat as a kid (or even as a college student), but I think that had more to do with the way they were cooked than the foods themselves. Then there are the foods that I just outright couldn’t stand even the slightest taste of.My dad in particular subscribed to the "eat it or you can’t leave the table" school of thought.

I spent many evenings sitting at the table refusing to eat something, usually crying, until I managed to choke down a bite or two and was set free! I couldn’t tell you which of these things I hate more, but the top yuk foods from my childhood were lima beans, fried corn, liver and onions, and chicken livers. I vividly remember the smell of liver and onions cooking when I’d come home from playing outside and the dread that accompanied that smell.

My brother and I were expected to eat a certain amount of it before we’d be allowed to leave the table. I also remember staring at a noxious plate of chicken livers with tears in my eyes, and countless meals with lima beans as a side dish.My dad loves them, but I could never stand the taste of them. Still can’t!

And I don’t know what it was about fried corn because I certainly like other forms of corn. When my mom or dad would fry it, it always had a burnt taste and the texture was awful. They’d sit at the table saying, "But you LIKE corn!

" Ugh! Never, never, never will I eat those foods now that I don’t have to! There were other things I wouldn’t eat as a kid, like steak, hamburgers, or fish.

Once I was older and brave enough to try these foods when they’d been cooked by other people, I found that I really liked them.My dad’s method of making a hamburger was to form a very thick patty and cook the hell out of it. No flavor, completely dry, and huge. Even in high school I’d be grounded to my room if I didn’t finish one of those awful burgers.

He cooked steak the same way, well done through and through. People would go on and on about a great steak dinner and I’d be thinking, "What’s the big deal? It’s like eating cardboard!"

My dad also had different taste in fish than I do. I don’t know what kinds of fish he’d get for us to eat, but I spent the first 22 years of my life convinced that I didn’t like fish at all. The first time I had stuffed sole, courtesy of my future in-laws, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.

They also introduced me to the pleasures of a perfectly cooked cheeseburger and a great steak cooked to medium perfection. So, I've become the opposite of my parents when it comes to feeding my own kids. I don't make them eat foods they truly don't like.My husband I will encourage them to at least try each thing we have for dinner.

If they don't like it, they don't have to eat it. I try to make meals that the kids like, or like well enough to eat. If they don't want to finish a meal, they don't have to (although they aren't allowed to be "done" until they at least drink their milk).

If they say they're full, I let them go, but they know they won't be eating again until it's snack time or meal time again. If one of them complains about being hungry half an hour after not eating much lunch, tough luck! We have enough battles over willpower without adding mealtimes into the mix.

However, the kids do think it's very funny to hear stories of the horrible things I was forced to eat as a kid!

How or where can I get a list of people foods that dogs can eat!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
