What was your worst meal as a child?

[ALMummy]

You know the one where you got to the table and your heart sank into your boots because you were starving and had been looking forward to your dinner only to find........

Sweet and sour chicken made with a lurid sauce from a packet or jar - I despised it.

Spaghetti hoops a horrible childminder made me eat, one of my earliest memories.

not at home but school dinner when it was hideous spam fritters - yick

tripe and onions

tongue sandwiches

That psuedo-cod boil in the bag stuff.
Just thinking about it is making me heave.
The taste, the texture, the Smell....

My mum still eats it. I have to leave the house when she is.

Chops and new potatoes

steak, peas & chips

or

liver & onions

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

liver - bleurgh, made me gag - still cannot stand the sight/smell of it, not a chance you would get me to taste it.

Definitely liver

I remember an incident like that with my sister forcing down tinned Russian salad (vom) as my parents were having a hell of a row,and her being ordered to eat what she had just thrownup (ot be fair,don't think they realised)

in boarding school was tortured on near daily basis with baked beans which I have never eaten and never will.

homemade beef stew, hated then, love it now.

At school, it wasn't a main meal it was a pudding. Prunes and custard. GAWD I hated it, I was at old style private school, we sat at long refectory type tables and HAD to eat what we were given. Oh it was vile

oh yes liver........my dear old mum would get it occasionally as it's very high in iron I think? I could not ever bring myself to eat it. Just the look if it made me want to retch.

I was at a friend's house when we were about 9 and her mum cooked us something vaguely meaty looking. This was a treat for me as we rarely had meat as it was very expensive. I ate half of it before being informed it was a sheep's heart.

The texture of those chewy , bloodied sinews will remain with me always.... ( rushes off to avoid puking on keyboard)

had blocked the memories of liver from my mind.
god, it is disgusting.

Stovies - boiled sausages, potatoes, carrots, turnip etc

Stew - bits of scraggy beef cooked for hours on end

No wonder I turned out vegetarian

Vesta Curry - yeuch!!!

Stuffed lambs hearts Tough as old boots and I loathe sage and onion stuffing. Just foul and I was forced to eat it.

Potted haugh. It has the texture of snotters.

Most meat based stuff... greasy lamb has particularly horrid memories for me. Also liver, kidneys and trip. Urgh.

It was a school dinner of braising steak in gravy - it was still frozen inside. A really stodgy and solid jam roly poly.

What the hell is potted haugh?
Sounds grim.

another school dinner - semolina and jam

'Cooked Dinner' on a Wednesday, but made with chops rather than a joint and so no roast potatoes, which were the only really edible bit of my mum's roast dinners

And she would make it fresh for her and Dad to eat at lunch time, and would leave it plated up, so that I could heat it over a boiling saucepan, covered in a saucepan lid

Bleurchhhhhhh

Or Spag bol. Which was mince cooked with onions (no tomatoes or garlic) and over boiled spaghetti

Ah MB,you have made me laugh in the past with tales of your mother's culinary adventures.

Bless her.

It wasn't a meal as such, but I have the walking shudders over memories of lonely hours pushing cold processed peas around a plate till my dad finally acknowledged that no amount of carrot or stick was going to make me eat them. Horror.
