Off the top of my head, BBQ.

I love kidney stew and/or beefsteak and kidney pie. Only one of my
children will eat it--she loves it, and nobody wants me to cook it when
they are home!

Parsnips always reminded me more of turnips, only not as strong tasting.
Yummmmm!!!

There really weren't many foods I didn't like as a child, and I've stayed
pretty consistent with that. Pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes are really
the only things I can think of offhand, and I've gotten so I can tolerate
pumpkin pie as I've gotten older. Every year at Thanksgiving I try a
little bit of both, just to see if my tastes have changed. Sweet potatoes
really seem like something I should like, but I just can't stomach them.
I'll keep trying, though! <G> Oh yeah, Dr. Pepper. Truly nasty stuff,
IMO.

I hated brussel sprouts until we planted some one year and I tasted the
ones from our garden. They taste nothing like those bitter things you buy
in the store, and we make it a point to plant some annually.

As for the rest I have never been a big veggie fan. I try. I do eat
nice fresh salads now. But, I hated carrots as a child, and I still
hate carrots, and if you put them in stews or soups it spoils the whole
dish for me because all I can taste is the carrots! I buy carrots every
week for the horses, though and always go out and give them each a carrot
before I go to bed. Funny thing is I do like parsnips, which some
people say taste like carrots--not to me, they do not. Never had then as
a child, so don't know if I would have liked them then.

I honestly think that is child abuse. My mother was abusive in no other
way but I could not leave the table until I cleaned my plate. I can
remember a couple of time when she left the room where I was still sitting
at the table an hour after everyone else was through, and I dumped my
plate in the wastebasket and covered it up with other trash. Eventually I
got caught and punished.

I had wonderful parents in general, but I never made my children eat
what they did not like. I did make them take a taste of something new,
but they didn't have to eat it if they did not like it. If they didn't
eat what I cooked I would let them have a piece of fruit or something
healthy, and no desert if they hadn't eaten a decent meal--but we rarely
had desert anyway.

I honestly can't think of any food that I hated as a kid and like now. The
only food I hated as a kid was cooked oatmeal, and I still can't stand it.

The policy in my parents home was "This is what's for dinner. You will
eat what has been prepared or you will be hungry." Fortunately my mother
was an excellent cook. There were some things I didn't care for (acorn
squash) but I wasn't forced to eat them. Today I like acorn squash, but
only when it's covered in butter and brown sugar. Thus, I don't eat it.

I pretty much raised my kids the same way. They ate what I made, but we
never battled over it. I would never force a child to eat something they
hated. My sister-in-law ruined every meal I ever had with her. She would
force feed my nephew food that he was literally gagging on. She would
yell at him, "Don't you dare throw that up" and sooner or later he would
stop the "erking" gagging, and up it would come. Just the tension at the
table, and my sympathy for my nephew, made me lose my appetite. I mean
honestly, what's the point? To this day Scott is a finicky eater and he's
in his 30s. egad, I'm getting anxious just remembering it now.

LOL!

So he ate a river of liver so as to not hurt her feelings. What a good son.

I happen to like liver and onions once in a while, but I don't like making
it. Terri likes it too and we go to this one coffee shop that makes it very
well. I ask them to add some bacon too.

No kidding, and he'd have only himself to blame! The trick is finding a
tactful way to say, "Please, don't ever make me eat this again!"

Anne

bit of both, just to see if my tastes have changed. Sweet potatoes really
seem like something I should like, but I just can't stomach them. I'll keep
trying, though!

I used to love green peppers so much I ate them like an apple!

Dang Bob, I wouldn't even admit that if I was a Texan:).

Anne,

Do you like butternut squash? To me, that tastes slightly like sweet
potatoes, but not as strong. It's really wonderful with some butter
and/or honey drizzled on it. I'm getting hungry....
