(Vanity)Yucky Foods from Childhood
Millee

Posted on 09/20/2005 9:43:01 AM PDT by Millee

Eddie Murphy once did a hilarous skit about how instead of getting a McDonalds hamburger, his mom would make him a soggy ol' burger using wonder bread. So todays' question is: what gross food were you forced to eat as a kid (or how did you sneak it to the dog?) For example:

1. Chipped Beef on toast - Gross, gross, gross! My dinner on those nights usually consisted of dry toast. I'd practially use an eyedropper when applying that white, pasty goop.

2. Canned spinach - like algae from a fish tank.

3. Raisins - My brother liked them so Mom would get them as a snack for both of us! Raisins ONLY belong in oatmeal cookies. Period.

Please use this space to vent regarding any gastronomical childhood traumas you may have experienced. :-p

1. Chipped Beef on toast – next to sausage gravy on biscuits truly a “food of the gods”, great with grits and eggs.
I guess the only things I really didn’t want to eat were green veggies. Couldn’t handle them then, don’t eat them now.

My mother made something called "Spanish rice." I think it was Minute Rice with tomato sauce and sauteed green peppers and beef. A very 1950s dish, I think, from the "Lipton Onion soup mix as a basic food group" approach to cooking. I get the shivers just thinking about it. Though I find I use a lot of onion soup mix in my cooking today! Has anyone ever actually used that stuff to make soup? I doubt it.

Pretty much everything my mother made was yucky.

She knew of two spices; salt and garlic salt.

BOOOOO-RRRRINGGGG!!

One time I had to choke down a fried spam sandwich, made with white bread and mayo. I hated mayo when I was a kid, and this evil sandwich was just slathered with it.

I was at a friends house, and her mom made it for me. I had to eat it to be polite, but it almost made me puke!

My mom made "Spanish rice" but hers was made with ham, and no onion soup mix. One of the few times I liked leftover ham. Ham is good the first time around, but rarely, is it any good the second, third or fifth time. Unfortunately, for holidays, my mom used to buy these 60 pound hams that we had to eat every day for the next seven months. That's why I seldom eat ham today.

LOL! Oh God, that's spot on! I've always hated frozen or canned spinach. How about those stringy things you found in it?

My Aunt's meatloaf. I have no idea what was in it, and I don't want to know.

My mother used to make this awful stuff as well. She also made something called "Hungarian Surprise" which was very similar. Yuk.

Of course, the worst food in the world is liver. Just the smell of it made me gag.

That's funny. Ham is the only meat I'll eat left over. Of course, I'll only eat it left over in eggs or fried. But left over beef is god-awful. There's nothing you can do to that.

Liver and Dumplings. I have a very creative aunt who has never heard the end of that little idea, and it was approximately 35 years ago that she produced that little gem. It was VERY nasty. She also used to make brussle sprouts that looked like eyeballs. She put little dots of cheese on them and it felt like they were looking back at you.
