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

Broad beans, dry, bland, boring god awful things,like chewing on cotton wool and baked sausages, the smell made me heave.

Liver & bacon, with mash, & onion gravy. I would eat the mash. The rest would go into the fridge, & come out for the next meal, & the next, until DM judged it wasn't safe to keep putting it in front of me.

Liver!

Bacon and liver casserole.

Tinned Mixed veg in tiny cubes, carrot sweet corn and something else, boiled to slop. Uuuugh. I still won't eat corn not on the cob.

Fish fingers. I still have issues with fish.

Meal when there was no money: Rice, pilchards in tomato sauce and tinned mixed veg. A lot of it ended up in my pockets and then thrown out my bedroom window.

KnackereMuchly same here, I hated it but like it now and again now.
Boney fish I hated and still do, and lamb!

Sausages, boiled plain potatoes and mixed veg.

Beef Ghoulash (sp)
Blancmange
Semolina
Liver

All of the above were school dinners :(

Stew

Liver and bacon! Still want to throw up just thinking about it, yuk.

Borja....are you my sister?! Vile meal, we had a slight variation which was Parsley sauce, I still gag at the thought of this foul offering

Moussaka. There are very few things I can't eat (lots of things I'm not keen on but will eat to be polite) but aubergines are the food of the devil.

Its funny really that the meals our parents served us because they were "good for you" or the best they could do on a small budget are the ones we hated the most! Kids are really ungrateful arent they?!

I know that my kids hate lovingly prepared homemade soup. No idea why, I can cook very well and it has loads of lovely fresh veg in in it and often left over chicken too, its really nice but you would think I was serving up dog shit on toast!

Conversely I was once clearing out the freezer and cooked up all the half bags and boxes of stuff in there. It was a hot buffet of hash browns, sausage rolls, burgers, a few chicken strips, some corn on the cob, potato wedges, oven chips etc. I was so ashamed of serving them that but I couldnt bear to throw it away so I made them all eat an apple and a banana afterwards! Their favourite meal is now "Freezer Hodge Podge" and ask for it on birthdays etc :o

Liver here too- dont know what my Mum did to it but it was like trying to eat rubber. Cant even look at it now.
Macaroni cheese- Tubes in glue is what it tasted like vom
Spam fritters tasted like blocks of grease

Sausage casserole. Boiled sausages Can eat sausages today but they have to be really well done-Not white and flabby
Sprouts- evil things.
And the speciality of my Nans- Meat disguised as braising steak. She thought if i didnt know what it was i would eat it she was wrong Can eat it today but it has to be very tender.

Rice pudding. Can't bear the look or texture of it. DF loved it (as is OH the mad fool) so it was a regular thing.

Lambs hearts. They tasted okay, but just the thought of them would give my stomach a little lurch. Mind you, I do think that if you're going to kill an animal for food, you should eat or use pretty much all of it.

My nan was a whiz with Ye Olde Oak tinned ham. Can you still get it? In America, I saw chicken in a can, I was equally appalled and fascinated.

Vesta paella
Omelette

I told school I was allergic to spam fritters because they made me feel so ill also my lovely gran's Sunday dinners, they were just so overcooked and greasy that I felt ill afterwards

Oh and Norwegian fish balls in curry sauce. The devil's own work.

We used to have soup at school every once in a while but it was followed by salad instead of a pudding. worst days dinner ever

Tripe with vinegar :(

My mum's lamb and apricot casserole, I can't bear fruit and meat combinations, I used to feel sick eating it.

Anything involving smoked haddock, again vomit-inducing stuff.

Aki & salt fish can't even stand to smell it cooking

Corn beef and rice

The smell of liver cooking for the dogs I use to hanget out of my window trying not to be sick!

Ugh Tripe, my mum used to eat that, it was rough on one side and smooth on the other, iirc

what are pilchards? have not come across them?
