I never developed a taste for blood pudding. Specially after I had to hold the pig’s head steady with a hay hook through it’s nose so grandma could shave it’s neck before bleeding it out.

I love veggies, even as a kid Brussels sprouts and asparagus were two of my favorites. Beets NO WAY, NOW HOW. I DO NOT LIKE THEM SAM I AM.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.

My mom boiled all veggies to death, and then poured melted velveta cheese ove them. Barf. Thank God I learned how to cook veggies.

My liver is pickled to perfection, thank you very much.
Green beans. I know y’all are thinking I’m crazy to say that, but I couldn’t stand them and as soon as I’d swallow one, it would come right back up. Even the thought still makes me gag.

That reminds me I have a package of chicken livers in my freezer I should$ thaw out and fry up! The gravy is also pretty good.
I'll never forget the time as a kid about 11 or maybe 12 yrs old with my parents "back home" on vacation.
At my great-aunt's place she served me lunch, not sure but I think it was fried pierogis and mashed potatoes. Except a quick glance showed they were pale green, nope that was green. I go Auntie why are my mashed potatoes "Green"? Those aren't potatoes dear, those are mashed lima beans. gag
Thank god the pierogis weren't filled with mashed lima beans

I hate green beans. I eat them because they are good for me, puke. I like the purple green beans they are wonderful in a three bean salad. Green bean casserole...I view that as a death threat... oh wait I’m very allergic to mushrooms.

I filled my pierogis with caramelized onions.
that's what I serve over mine. I like mine filled with sourkraut.
In our family it's either been mashed potatoes or sourkraut filling. With caramelized onions in a side bowl and a bowl of sour cream.

One of the guys I dated didn't think he liked them. I cut the ends off fresh ones, steamed them, and added a little salt and real, melted butter at the end. He came around.
Wonder what it's like on the grill?

I've been known to put cheese or mashed potatoes in mine, but when I'm sort of on a diet, it's onions. I know . . . they aren't exactly diet food in the first place. They are much less salty than Asian dumplings, so I tend to make them, instead.

Delicious over a camp fire, never put it on the grill though.

Where I am supposed to be.
Fish....I wouldn't eat fish. We ate fresh fish from the river. Apparently I choked on a bone at about 4 years old. Snatched me up, turned me upside down, cramming fingers down my throat. Scared my parents to death. Nobody made me eat fish after that. I love fish, but I chew it VERY carefully, to this day.
I ate everything else, everything....my Mom said I was "big boned", not fat

The brisket is on, my rum and coke is empty, and I'm going to catch a few winks before I've gotta get up at 0545 and wrap it in butcher paper.

The filling was delicious but the peppers themselves got all soggy and awful. I could never get mom to focus on RAW vegetables.

Grilled pepperoni is one of the best appetizers ever. Get the whole stick, not sliced, cut it about 1/2 inch thick and throw it on the grill. Your taste buds will thank you.

My 16 year old, as of 16 minutes ago. Shot, butchered, and cooked this for himself a couple weeks ago. We love tree rat.

As an adult I enjoy spinach raw or steamed but can't bring myself to attempt eating black-eyed peas.

Pickled beets, lima beans, liver and rutabagas even the way my maternal grandmother fixed them they were not edible.
The boys loved pickled beets and would clean the bowl.
My grandmother was a great cook and I could eat a couple bites of liver. Grandmother always cooked me a very small piece very well done and had fried potatoes and cream gravy to wash down the taste.

Never was able to get all the hair off it. More than once bit into some bird shot while trying to eat it. Mom would boil it in a pot with barley until reached the consistency of glue. One or two tree rats cooked into a gray gruel would feed the family.

Anything my mother cooked.
I love my mother, but —Gag! - she was a worse cook than Lisa Douglas on Green Acres!
She would over cook stuff, and it would be dry and tough...
I ate ketchup on EVERYTHING, just to make it marginally pallatiable.
When I was at college, undergraduates living in the dorms were REQUIRED to purchase 7 day, all you can eat Meal Tickets at Iberville Dining Hall, the school cafeteria.
Most of the other college kids would sit around the cafeteria tables at meal time, complaining about the food, calling the dining hall Tomaine Palace, and making jokes about how TPTB had made it illegal to serve real food in the dining hall.
But I fondly remember how GREAT Iberville Dining Hall food was....
Next to the stuff I grew up on, it really was great food!
