My Mom made (and still does!) this creamed pearl onion dish for special dinners, like Easter or Thanksgiving. My sister and I abhorred them, and we each had to eat one. I would leave mine on my plate and it would end up looking like this cold, creamed eyeball.

I always did eat it, but never enjoyed it.

There isn''t much I don''t like otherwise. My Mom was sneaky...both of my grandmother''s had extensive gardens, and she would say it was from Grandma''s garden, and I don''t want to hurt her feelings if I don''t eat it, do I? Hurt Grandma? No way! Consequently, I eat most things now. My parents also had a rule that if we said "yuck" or something similiar, we got a second portion and had to eat both.

We did have dinner together most nights, at least till both my sister and I were in high school when activities and jobs interfered. I am happy we did.

Now, DH is another story. He doesn''t like orange juice with pulp, any kind of melon, brussel sprouts, lima beans, jello...I told him he is either going to have to suck it up when we have kids or develop "allergies"

Haha! What WAS it with the beets???!!! I hated them and still do! I can''t see what is so great about them that you''d try to force a child to eat them! I didn''t like brussel sprouts or green beans but will eat both now. My mother thankful almost never fixed this, but I hated and would not eat fried SPAM!!!

OMG- I can''t believe how many others have also been TRAUMATIZED by beets! LOL

I can''t eat them to this day. I used to have to wash them down the TONS of milk, and that *barely* got them down.

As an adult, I tried to eat them several times but couldn''t. I can chew them in the front of my mouth, but the moment they get toward the back of my tongue to swallow them, the gag reflex kicks in. Ewwwwwwwww.

Leg of Lamb. How I used to hate eating it. I was the only one, who hated it. My mom, dad and brother loved it.

I used to gag, trying to get it down.

My hubby loves it, so I will cook it for him. I even hate the smell of it, while it is cooking.


Ebree: I agree with you. I LOVE lima beans.
