It _has_ to be green cabbage, Along with the caterpillars, the Butterfly eggs, and the soggy brown leaves........ And my mother had the affront to tell me that it would ensure that I grew up big and strong. Maybe I did................ but I am sure that it was never down to that stuff that she took so much delight in slapping upon my plate.

Parsnips, Beetroot, Both disgusting then and now, oh and RHUBARB, did you know that this is one thing that a Pig will not eat, they will eat most things but not Rhubarb, neither will I.YUK.

Cooked tomatoes. My dad would (and still does) eats the squashy pulp and leaves the skins on the plate. They are hard to scrape off into the bin if they've been left for any amount of time - it still makes me gag.

my dad put me off savaloys. he said that they lived on the platform at newcastle train station and the ticket man would give you a stick to bash them away with because they would snap at your ankles! i love them now. my grandson and i share one together. cant wait till he's older and i can tell him the same story. wonder if he will beleive me??

Corn on the cob -- we lived in an isolated place and my first taste came from corn that had been previously frozen. Think maybe it had gotten freezer burnt. Love fresh corn on the cob now.

I'm with Blossom on this one! Semolina yeuk yeuk and yeuk again!! Kaz :o)

Thank you for all your replies James :<))

James A barmcake is a muffin, bap or bread roll, called different things depending on where you live. I hated carrots and onions as a kid, used to pick them out of a stew and leave on side of plate. Dad made me eat them once and I was sick. Love both now, especially onions! Lynne

Can't stand spinach! My Dad use to eat it all the time and he use to make us eat it.Hated it then and still do!! Christine x

tin spaghetti dad used to tell me it was worms in blood!! scrambeled egg mum always gave it to us when we were ill reminds me of that. Julia

I really did not like cheese - cheddar (only if it was in a quiche or something) - I eat it now but only to nibble - hate huge chunks of it and don't like cheese sandwiches!

What's Barmcake?? James

I was about four and went in hospital for an op,they gave me egg and the white wasn't cooked,i still can't eat the white of an egg,even thinking make me feel sick

Spring onions! Grandad had a bumper crop one year and dared the mass of grandchildren visiting the house to eat more of them than anyone else - needless to say being gormless kids it ended up with about a dozen kids all feeling very poorly. Grandad loved it - didn't stop laughing for weeks despite Nana regularly beating him around the head with a newspaper as she was the one who had to look after us all and send us home to our parents with the simple words 'It's your dad's fault' which surprisingly no-one challenged or asked for more of an explanation! Funnily, decades later I love onion - especially with grated cheese in a lovely fresh barmcake!

not sure if it was the prawns or the babysham that made me sick at 14 so I have never eaten a prawn since

OH James I love milk cant drink whole milk now but enjoy a glass of semi-skimmed quite often. Dave

Beetroot and Marzipan, but I still hate it XX

For some reason the free 1/3pt bottles of milk at school still can't drink it straight, OK in tea rice puddings,Marmalade, prawns thou the last two I am alright with now. James
