Philistine!

Lambs Liver lightly fried in butter and served with fried onions,
bacon and a suitable gravy is wonderful.

Should be accompanied with good mashed potato and green vegetables of
your choice. Peas work for me.

I'm with ya there. Vile stuff. Who wants to eat an organ that filters
out the blood's impurities? Blech! Same goes for kidneys.

Even the thought of undercooked/runny eggs makes me gag. When I was
younger and needed to vomit for whatever reason (drank too much, or was
sick and knew it was inevitable) all I ever had to do was picture
undercooked eggs in my mind, and that did the trick!

I'm getting the urge just writing this....

Wet scrambled eggs. I hadn't thought of those, but I remember my
grandmother making them that way. Yuck.

Even now, at restaurants, I order my scrambeled eggs DRY.

Yikes. I was fortunate. My parents woudl do the timer thing. 30 minutes
to eat it or you go to bed. My older and brother would sit there for 27
minutes, then eat it in a hurry.They are 5 and 7 years older than me,
and I just couldn't understand why they would eat something nasty after
it was cold and nastier. I simply got up and went to bed.

After a few times, my parents realized I would not eat what I don't
like. And I don't care about the punishment. It wasn't until later that
I was able to articulate that it is mostly texture that I do not like.
Though I do gag at the smell of cream of wheat or steamed rice.

If only my brother and sister had figured it out sooner, they wouldn't
have had to eat so much of the nasty stuff.

I do have a few bad stories. When I was in high school, I went to
dinner at a friend's house. The mother served a meal with cabbage,
steamed rice, and ground beef. Pure nasty. I told you the smell of rice
makes me gag. I was taught to be polite, so I did my best to eat some
of it, and after getting about half of it down, I said that I was
really full. As she drove me home, I prayed for her to drive faster.
When I got home, I walked into the house and then RAN to the bathroom
just in time to puke.

After that, anytime that friend asked me to dinner or overnight, I had
my mom ground me for a messy room.

Sometime back, my mom was out of spaghetti seasoning and decided to do
something else. I have no idea what it was, but it tasted mostly like
plain tomato paste. I was warned on the way into the kitchen, so I took
a small serving, thanked my mom, and went back to my room which is in
the basement. I have a microwave and fridge in my room, so no big deal
for me. I did feel bad for my dad who had to eat it. I tried to give
mine to the dog, but even the dog turned it down.

Eeeek, :-@

Also fish, we had steam fish stomach (of a large fish) once, had a gag
reflex when I touched the slimy feel of it. I didn't try that dish
afterwards. But I am OK with shashimi and steam fish.

I rent the basement of my parent's house. I have my own fridge,
freezer, microwave, etc. I also cook in the kitchen too. Sometimes
people assume that because I live in the same house, that I eat their
food all the time. I explain that I do occasionally eat their food if
they make something I like when I am home, and I haven't already eaten.
But I always plan as if there is nothing for me. I joke that they can
make anything they want, the worst thing in the world, except liver,
and there will never be a complaint from me. Liver is an exception
because it stinks up the house. Fortunately, my mom hasn't made that in
years.

Another thing I thought of it is microwaved ice cream. A few years
back, my dad decided it is easier to scoop if you put it in the
microwave. So, one day, as a dessert, he served pie and ice cream. We
were sitting in the living room, and discovered that the ice cream was
stringy. It was so nasty that I have to try hard to not gag when i
think about it. He still insists on doing it, and gets offended when
nobody accepts ice cream from him. He even marked the containers as not
microwaved, but he did it at least once to a marked box.

If you want to creep somebody out out in our house, just mention Dad's
ice cream.

i'm sure if you put enough bacon, onions & gravy on you can
disguise how disgusting liver tastes

my question is why anyone would choose to eat the organ that
filters the toxins out of the body...

My mother is a really good cook, and cooks without recipes, usually.
Once, though, she tried a recipe out of a women's magazine for "corn
pudding". Foulest thing ever. Like congealed --- well, congealed
something. So gross. None of us could eat it.

My mother made a nasty concoction that was called "Chinese casserole"
when I was a kid back in the 1970's. It had bamboo shoots and water
chestnuts in a slimy gravy along with browned ground beef. To this day
I cannot even look at a can of bamboo shoots or water chestnuts.

My folks had a rather large garden and grew a wide variety of
vegetables which I hated at the time but would absolutely love now that
I am an adult (and with the produce prices what they are nowadays
yikes!). Beets and green beans were especially hated by me.

I ate dinner at the home of an elderly aunt. The meal was okay until I
noticed that the dinner rolls were mouldy.

Once I poured a bowl of Crispix cereal (after having opened the new
box), only to have a large black beetle come tumbling out into the
bowl.

Actually, now that I think about it, food was not really something I
enjoyed until I was in my 30's. I guess that explains why I weighed
105 lbs until about five years ago, lol....

Oooh, you reminded me of something my mother used to make that
I found disgusting -- canned beef stew baked with refrigerator
biscuits on top. In time, Mom became a wonderful cook, but some
of her early efforts, like this one, were just nasty...

I also got a nice plate of steamed shrimp one time and a chinese
place... that included one large steamed palmetto roach. <gag>

Needless to say, I never ate there again!

"My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson

I had a stepmother -- it was my unfaithful father's fifth marriage, or
something ridiculous like that -- whose "cooking" was an absolute
nightmare. She couldn't eat seafood (she claimed it gave her an
allergic reaction), and her favorite food was McDonald's effin'
hamburgers -- so I never had high hopes any time she "cooked," in fact
I dreaded such occasions. Let's see, she would make "pesto potatoes"
which were raw in the middle. She would make "curry" which consisted
of an incorent mishmash of spices thrown into a frying pan. She made
vegetable "dishes" which never had any seasoning and were invariably
undercooked. It was all a nightmare. Worse yet, my father, who was
despite his numerous flaws once a great cook, began to dumb his cooking
down to accomodate my stepmother. He would omit spices and seafoods
from dishes such as "paella" and "bouillabaise." These are terrible
memories -- and the culinary aspects of them are the worst!

Ugh, no! Back in my print shop days, I was working late
one night, and had started making a devilled ham sandwich
for dinner. (I had great bosses, they supplied lots of food
for us.) Anyway, I heard the plate maker go off, so I left
the room, came back to find a small cockroach dancing on
my sandwich! I threw the whole thing, roach and all, into
the garbage and started over. I hate those things. The only
time I've had to deal with them was at that shop, because
one of the owners was terrible about leaving dirty dishes
sitting around for days...

I've learned to cover my food at work when I walk away from it...
I came back to my salad one night to find a large roach in it, happily
snacking away. :-(

Needless to say I had to toss it.
