What meal made your heart sink as a child

[lemisscared]

For me i think it was mince and potatoes. The mince was from a tin ffs!! With tinned peas and carrots.

My mum used to make me eat this and i would gag and cry! Oh and fucking ready brek as i would get pneumonia if i didn't eat it - boak

Am younger than most of you so didn't have such horrendous school lunches. We got a choice of two dishes. For some reason, the only day we didn't get a choice was Hot Dog Day. I haaaaaate hot dogs. And smoked meat in general. Smoked meat just tastes all kinds of wrong.
I do quite like rice pudding, haven't had it for years.

I make corned beef hash with part-boiled potatoes and fried onions, then I add cubed corned beef and place it in a hot oven until everything's brown and crispy. It's not the boiled potato stuff my mum used to make.

Meatloaf. Every Thursday. Just horrible

[toffee1000]

Ooh we had corned beef hash at school once. The meat looked quite pink so I didn't eat it because I thought it looked raw/not cooked enough. Googling it now, I can't work out if it's meant to be pink or not.

Rizzoles - not sure what they were exactly, some sort of minced meat shaped into patties and fried, bloody horrible

[Redglitter]

Liver & onions or bacon cabbage & potatoes. How my patents ever thought that was a good combination is beyond me

[hazeyjane]

Faggots
Goblin pies
sheep's hearts, tripe, and liver
Nan's cabbage (put on the hob in 1965.....served in 1975)
Ham in aspic
Tinned carrots
Milk jelly.

[LunaLunaDot]

Crinkled, watery and somehow slightly spongy school dinner carrots.

[StarHeartDiamond]

Butter beans in mince. I would never serve this up to my dcs and expect them to love it. I think in the future my dcs will say my chilli, which is delicious if I do say so myself, but they have taken against it in recent times

[ChequeredPasta]

Shepherds pie!!
Still hate it now. Just tastes of shit gravy, and so sloppy!

[PiratePanda]

My aunt's porridge (burnt and lumpy)
My aunt's custard (always had a skin)
My mother's baked egg (don't even ask)
Lamb chops; still can't bear the smell or taste of lamb fat to this day.

[Mrskeats]

Liver and kidney

[EastMidsMummy]

70s liver with tubes.

[EggysMom]

Broad beans (home-grown, left to get too large so they were tasteless and the consistency of cardboard)
Liver and heart
Microwaved "jacket" potatoes. Nope, they don't work.

But the worst meal was on a camping trip - a can of ravioli in tomato sauce mixed with a can of tinned vegetables. Disgusting. It made a reappearance in the dark tent a few hours later, I didn't make it out of the tent!

[m4rdybum]

Super noodles with tinned chicken in white sauce.

This was a weekly thing in our house and I was force-fed it (genuinely). Always remember sat crying for two hours trying to eat it without being violently sick.

Still have flashbacks now!

[Majora]

Anything with minced meat.

Gristle is the worst thing in the universe and part of why I avoid meat like the plague.

Two types of stew. One a chicken one with the liquid being next door but one to water. One a lamb one which was similar but had the addition of tinned clementine segments included. You'd put them in your mouth, bite down and boiling fruit juice would burst out to scald your tongue. My mum cooked well and with international variety for the 70s and 80s. But these must have been her cba go to meals.
