My mother once served me the carrots I'd refused to eat the night before, for breakfast. She'd left them on the same plate and had microwaved them. I was forced to eat them under threat of being grounded for a week.

I can't remember being traumatised by any food. I didn't and still don't like liver but oncey mum knew she no longer served it to me. Cabbage and onions were something I didn't like either but I do now .

I don't like cheese on toast but one day when I was about nine I fancied it and told mum, next day when I was back to not liking it she treated me to it for lunch. I was sensible enough to eat it and say I liked it.

I really had to think about this because my Mum was/is such a great cook and I love food.

My Dad liked to bring home weird stuff he’d found (don’t ask), and once it was piles and piles of out of date army ration supplies in tins. God this is tragic, I’m cringing. For months, we had to eat this horrendous luncheon meat, crappy old apple pies, and drink earl grey tea (I’m guessing this was the shit the forces didn’t want. But for us? Absolutely fine )

One of my sisters and I used to sneak tins out to throw in external bins to reduce them some!!!

Did you fry the spam or make corned beef fritters - I hated both of those.

I also do not like rabbit as we used to keep them (thinking they were my pets) but when they were big enough we ate them. Also I would go down to the market in North Street at the end of the day on a Friday or Saturday to get left over vegetables for the rabbits (either from the floor or from stall holders) and if the veg was in good enough condition the rabbits would not get it, my mum would cook it for us!

couple, us we him her.

Not me but a few kid's in school when I was a kid.

So my dad used to take cod liver oil tablets,one day I decided to try one not realising that you are supposed to swallow it and not chew it.

Made me puke

So and idea popped into my head, almost exactly same size and shape as baked beans.

So took a handful to school,cupped in my hand at lunchtime as I leaned over to receive my fish fingers from dinner lady in discreetly dropped them into the bean's.

Went sat down to eat my lunch and wait for the show.

A few minutes later I hear "ewwww" followed by gagging then again and again this then started a chain reaction of about ten kid's barfing all over the place.

Oh how I laughed.

I'm pretty sure that there's about 4 people who have never eaten Beans since

About 3 feet away from the fence

I can't complain about any home cooking but there was the one time I ate 3 day old pasta by mistake.

Warmed it up in the microwave & put brown sauce on it, so I didn't taste how off it was through the sauce.

I spent the next morning regurgitating it through both mouth & nose, at points blocking my airways.

This was 24 years ago and it's put me off brown sauce for life. To this day if I even smell brown sauce it reminds me of the burning sensation of pasta filled vomit passing through my nose.

Tomato soup/cream of chicken soup

My dad was ex army (ww2) and made it the way they would

Tin of soup then several tins of water or if he was feeling like giving us a treat he would add vinigar

Mum wasn't much better, she made broth you had to chew to swallow.

I've not eaten any kind of soup (flavoured water) since I left home 40 yrs ago

I agree, when it's cooked properly liver can be lovely.

Only if you actually like the taste of it. If you don't it doesn't matter how it is cooked. Mr.Ruggers doesn't eat eggs, even if I cooked them a different way he still wouldn't eat them because he doesn't like the taste

My husband informs me his mother once had the idea of sauerkraut with mash potatoes. He now keeps repeating "it's not a thing and never will be a thing". I fear he is traumatised

"Liver and onions tasted like old boot leather and the old school favourite pudding semolina with that disgusting red stuff they tried to pass off as jam

Was that rose hip syrup?? "

Whatever it was never had a school meal after that always took a packed lunch or went home for lunch

"Pork chops. My mum used to reduce them to a dry husk, and I’d spend when felt like hours chewing and chewing. Only once I reached my 40s have I discovered the joys of well-cooked pork (especially with a nice sauce or marinade)"

The mash tetty at first school, it was in a done shape and lumpy as fuck and the dinner ladies would never let you leave the dinner hall unless you are all your dinner, flattening it down with a fork sometimes fooled them into letting you out

Mac & cheese with onion in it. I love mac & cheese, but when I was a kid my mum used to put onions in it as her bf at the times liked it that way. Not cooked onions or anything, just raw onion finely chopped and mixed through once the macaroni was done. Even the thought gives me the boak

My Nan's Bread and Butter Pudding.

Sunday ritual was take the dog out, collect Grandad 10 Woodbines and a Sunday Mirror from shop. The shop man knew I was only 11 but gave me his ciggies anyway.

Then had to eat a bowl of it before I was allowed home.

"Fruit cocktail from a tin, those horrible little cherry like things ruined many an ice cream or jelly."

The cherries are the best bit, I was the eldest of 4 kids in our house and normally only 1 or 2 cherries per tin, we would argue over them but usually my mum ate them to stop the arguments.

A lot of meat, especially in its uncooked state. I just walked past a butchers shop with people going in and out and the aroma issuing forth made me feel unwell.

I could sense that the customers were mentally salivating with anticipated enjoyment of their purchases.

I feel uneasy and queasy when I smell butchers shops.
