Liver Ball Soup.
Actually, it just sounds gross.

Lima beans and liver...
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.
Rutabaga.
Tuna burgers.
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!!
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!
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.
Brussel sprouts
Pot roast
Jello with cabbage
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.
"2. Canned spinach - like algae from a fish tank."
I always liked canned spinach. My most hated food was sweet pickles, YUCK!
My dad was a cop and only got paid once a month. So everything during the 4th week was anything my mom could find to throw together and serve it in a cleverly disguised casserole or quiche.
Liver and onions.
Canned Spinach nuff said.
I loved chipped beef on toast yummy. just ad a few dashes of Tabasco and its breakfast heaven.
Except for the aforementioned ham and maybe a few other things, I like almost everything -- even liver. My mother always bought this calves' liver (no beef liver -- too tough) and she would make it with mushrooms, peppers and onions. She and I were the only ones who would eat it. My father and brother couldn't get near it. But this liver was actually fairly tender. Now, I've tried eating liver in restaurants and elsewhere -- not good. They must use some cow that died of old age or something. Usually tough hard and stringy. Never as good as the way Mom made it.
Fried bologna sandwiches
Stuff I remember disliking from when I was a kid: canned peas (one of very few things that literally made me gag), and oatmeal as my Mom made it. She usually made it thin, with a texture rather akin to snot. Dad's oatmeal was good, though.
Oh, and why is it that potluck suppers usually include every kind of vegetation known to man encased in fruit gelatin? Whose idea was that? I don't really like Jello anyway, but raspberry jello with carrots??? Or corn embedded in orange jello??! Does anyone really eat stuff like that, or do people just bring it because someone started a tradition at some point? WHY?
Oh, and just because...James Lilek's Gallery of Regrettable Foods
