My uncle recalled eating casu marzu - now he wasn't immune to this type of food as i remember him cooking pheasant so well hung it was green with his little friends in too. Those were the days :)

Any type of offal particularly tripe.
People love my missus's steak and kidney pies but I've never tried one.
Disrespecting the humble sprout!
Outrageous!!
Thai stir-fried brussels sprouts-put some lead in your pencil
Might be me....but I find it almost disturbing that most of youz folks have never explored the fuzziness and the almost casual off-handedness of the initial inquiry.
Can't imagine what kind of households [or parental guidance] would force upon or "make you" eat a particular food that you might be revolted by or a lesser desire to take.
Odd.
:chitown:
^ I am having to constantly 'encourage' my daughter to eat veg. Force is maybe a bit strong but she knows if she leaves the veg I'll have a go out her and there'll be no pudding. If I didn't do this she would happily never eat a vegetable again and I think of it as a parental duty to get her used to veg with a meal.
A friend of hers doesn't get the same encouragement from his parents, won't touch any kind of veg at all at age 11 and takes 30 minutes to take a dump every day. I would be very worried if he was my kid.
Give mine raw carrots and cucumber as a snack daily.
That's as far as I can go with healthy.
Sprouts at Xmas was bribery at a £1 per sprout consumed, still didn't work.
Parents are triers...
Yeah, peas, sweetcorn and carrots are easy but sprouts seem to be a step too far.
Did y'all know that celery is calorie negative ? You burn more calaries chewing it than it provides
I can honestly say I was never " Forced" to eat any food. The rule was, Mom cooked and you eat that or go hungry. She used to say " I am not a short order cook, I make 1 meal for dinner". There were a few times I went hungry. Sometimes when I saw liver in the fridge, I would sneak snacks in my room for later. The hardest part was no matter what I had to sit at the table. Very strict rules even if you weren't going to eat. So I would down my milk, if I got lucky there was a side dish to eat. If not, I waited it out. Thankfully around 8 yrs old or so she stopped making liver, meatloaf etc. Dinners after that were always great. :)

Seen it already mentioned but yep, Brussel sprouts... Fuck those things all the way off.
It's runny egg whites (aka snot) that'll make me send eggs back if served that way, yuk :(Quote:

You aren't the first Boomer to say that in this thread. So much for Boomers having it rough. The default arrangement in my family or circle of friends is that you eat what is cooked. Full stop. The idea that you can turn down meals is just a foreign concept to me. Or anyone I knewQuote:

Sounds like a good idea from the get go. Maybe reduce it to twice a week, maybe Fridays and Saturdays?Quote:

There is no such thing as a negative calorie food and eating celery will not burn off any calories. Celery contains about 16.01 calories per 100 grams.
...agree: I've tried sprouts only as an adult...delicious when prepared this way...Quote:

What Are Giblets? Giblets are comprised of the heart, gizzard, liver, and neck of the chicken or turkey. They are often found in a small bundle inside the cavity of the whole bird. You can make gravy from the giblets of either a turkey or a chicken.
That was a problem for me too, but it was gravy and stuffing. My stepfather would often time sneak the giblets in and not tell the kids he did. After awhile it got to the point my mom had to make seperate gravy and stuffing because my brothers and me would not eat stuff with giblets in it.Quote:

Ya, it is still traumatizing to think about sitting down for a nice Thanksgiving dinner only to have it ruined by chomping down on giblets and almost hurling at the table. :)Quote:

Sprouts? Love 'em. Cauliflower? Love it. Swede or turnip? Yes, please. Love it. Broccoli? Fine. Potatoes? Any way you cook them I'll eat them. Peas? Any kind but I prefer garden peas.
Liver? Lamb's liver is the best but pig liver is good enough.
Oysters? Yep. I eat them often in Thailand. They are cheap and easily available. I had some last week.
Eggs: any way you cook them, or even raw.
