My mom made this horrid dessert made with white rice and raisins.
I like rice and I like raisons but each by themselves

My Grandmother would make that all the time, I loved it! The worst would without question is beans w/ham bones.

Overcooked Brussels sprouts. We called them testicles of the vegetable world. Mom couldn’t boil water to save herself. It took 10 years of marriage for me to try them when my wife cooked them properly and those are ok.
Until we could cook for ourselves, we knew dinner was ready when the smoke detector went off.

Green beans made me gag. I love them now!
Hominy.
I get pissed just thinking about it.

It was a toss-up between slimy canned chowmein and green beans. I learned to like chowmein from the stuff they made at my high school (after I picked out the ginormous chunks of cooked celery!) and also when Mom learned to not dump the bean sprouts in until after the rest of the glop is hot.
But I still dry heave when I smell green beans cooking.

Oof. My mother was a great cook but there were some things that just weren't great.
Beets, for example. Canned beets. Tasted awful.
Liver. Corned beef. There are dozens of great things you can do with beef. Pickling it and boiling it are not among them.

Mayonnaise. Parents never did get me to eat anything with it mixed in.

Hells bells I remember those. Didn't like them. Filling was ok, just dont care for Green Bells.
Mix in some spicier sausage and stuff in a Red Bell pepper and I'd go for that. Heck I might try that!
that was mine too. it all stemed for an incident when my parents were trying to make a young me eat an unfamiliar food. For decades hominy was my ultimate villian food, hated and despised. Till one day not long ago when the adult me questioned why i thought hominy was aweful. i tackled this demon by opening a can and trying it. Anticlimatic. it was bland, boring and and not worthy of a strong opinion for or against.

Menudo. Went to a party in Mexico when I was a kid and they gave me a bowl of that.

My mom couldn't cook, either. She'd overcook pork chops and then serve them with canned corn and canned green beans. Yeah, tough and tasteless. I actually looked forward to TV dinners on Friday or Saturday nights.

My Mom's Oatmeal was always cold and yukky. No microwave ovens in those days to try to warm up your bowl.
However, her liver and onions were wonderful.
Such extremes.

Brussels sprouts.
You can't hide them in your milk glass either.

Yup. Stuffed green peppers. Actually puked back onto my plate once when forced to eat them. Never had to eat them after that. Oddly, I like them a lot now.

High school cafeteria macaroni and cheese, like semi-dried latex paint over cooked to mush macaroni.

Seal eyeballs, hot and raw from a fresh kill.

Yum rice pudding. Try raw seal eyeballs on for size, they were still hot from the kill.

I think I would actually starve before eating beets, especially pickled beets.

I must be one of the few people on earth who likes beets. Not pickled, though.

Tuna casserole. Never could figure out why my mom insisted on making it when we all hated it. Fortunately, we finally won that battle.

I used to think that I hated most veggies, given that my mom could burn water, but I took some free cooking classes when I went to college and found out that I liked all the veggies that we grew in the Great Lakes area. They just needed to be fixed properly, and that didn't mean tossing them in a pot and boiling the heck out of them for hours.
