Nothing,,if I didnt like it I got made something else. ,,,,,or just left off the plate if I liked the rest,I had extra yorkies or mash/roast spuds,,

No pudding if I didn't finish my dinner.Then made to feel bad because of all the poor children in Africa who had no food.

LIke Gwyn. I was never forced but also not offered an alternative.

*get what you're given* my Mum used to say lol x

Dawnie !! Don't lol.I can just see this big tongue on the worktop in the kitchen.I think it would have been an Ox tongue.I bet my Dad had tongue sandwiches too.

I get " Tongue pie " when i get in from the pub late, lol

Jane

tongue nooooooooooooooo dad used tohave it in sarnies

I was lucky my mum and dad ate late so we had tea before them and had a schoold inner so was just light tea but meals at weekends were ok and mum oent like a lot that i dont like so id get same as her while dad and sister ate the same am thinking particularly pasta yuk yuk yuke


the one thing mum made that i cant stand is a pie at christmas which was cooked turkey and ham chopped up with raw chopped up chipolatas and a tin of mushroom or chicken soup and then pastry on top how i ate it i dont know lots of drink to wash it down with. I cant stand chicken in white sauce now and hubby always threatens to make me the pie.

Hello Marilyn
Junket was another when I was poorly lol
Tongue!!!!!!!!!!!Mum used to cook a whole tongue .I can still see it now lol

Oh my god......that's even worse Joan ..

My mother boiled it until tender, THEN soaked it in MILK...why did she do that ? LOL

Hello Jane .....

Tried to make me eat eggs- with no luck. I was 23 before I ate an egg and that was for a bet. Love them now. :)

They never got me to eat liver either - Mum used to throw a couple of sausages in with the gravy for me. Strange because I have always liked the taste of liver gravy.

Broad Beans!!!!!!!!!! I used to pick the skin bit off and then nearly vomit when I has to eat the inner part.I tried to hide them in the mashed potato.I wasn't allowed out to play until I had eaten them.I still hate them today lol

Tripe......because it was cheap.

We all hated it,I'm sure we were made to eat it cant think we went without !

And the other was Syrup of figs...Uggghhhh ........because the clinic supplied it along with Orange Juice & Malt which I quite liked .

I don't remember being made to eat anything, encouraged yes, but forced, no.

On the other hand if we didn't want to eat something we weren't offered an alternative. The choice was eat it or go without, so we generally ate what was served to us.
My sister never liked liver, but if that was what was for our meal, she didn't get any on her plate, just the bacon which was also part of the meal.

Cabbage, boiled down to a mash! Love cabbage now, but mine is almost raw!
