**Food Ping!!**
As a kid I remember hating green beens in a can. Which is funny, since I love fresh or fresh-frozen green beans. I assume my parents just did not know how to cook. I love my veggies now. My kids eat their veggies too. LOL! We can't keep the stuff in our house.
One thing I remember, though, is the stink of kale. I also remember fish. Way too much fish. I detest fish now.

My childhood fish I can't buy anywhere now is carp. They would be huge like 60 lbs. out of the Mississippi River and my parents fed me the fried rib pieces because you can easily pull out the long rib bones. The rest of the world considers carp a trash fish but I love it and so did everyone where I'm from.

When I was in the first grade on Fridays I'd go home for lunch and I'd have fish sticks, catsup, and chocolate milk. I still love that combination. I was eating that when Pres. Kennedy was assassinated. When I went back to school the kids were all abuzz about it.

When I was little, at Christmas Eve, my grandmother would have live eels swimming in our bathtub to be prepared for the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

"As a kid I remember hating green beens in a can."

I found a roach in a can of green beans once. Dead, of course. Another picture of me dashing to the bathroom to vomit. Almost made it to my mouth. Ugh! Still gag just thinking about it!!!!

I can't say I remember yucky foods from childhood, but one thing I remember ALL my family liked which makes people I tell about it go YUCK! is:

1. Toasted Bread, break in pieces and put in a bowl.
2. Chopped green onions on top.
3. A dab of butter
4. Warm milk
5. Salt & Pepper

Yummy! Yummy!
