My mother made 3 things I truly hated: fried whiting (jack salmon),
which no amount of lemon juice could redeem; stuffed green peppers;
and the one thing I hate the very most, ham and great northern beans.
I choked down a bit of the fish, never touched the peppers, and spent
the night at a friend's house if she was making those nasty beans. I
didn't like her stew much either because she'd put turnips in it,
which were avoidable because she cut them into a different shape than
the potatoes, but they added a nasty flavor. Her chop suey wasn't
very good either. It had canned everything except the meat and celery
and onions. Somehow the idea of using ground beef in Chinese stir fry
doesn't sound as appealing as it did last might after too many drinks,
especially after seeing this:
