I haven’t been able to find a book on the subject so I may write one.
Some of my co-workers were discussing child hood memories one day and we started listing some of the weird strange gross things our parents made us eat.
For me it was my dad eating chicken feet, no way would I eat that. Now the pickled pigs knuckles I liked or the sardines, although now I can’t figure out why. When he was a kid he made a younger friend eat worms. Hey the older boys said her try this, so little Charlie did.
My dad wouldn’t drink is coffee without canned evaporated milk. Yuk. My mother used to make sandwiches out of left over bean soup. You know the navy beans and ham soup that when it was cold it congealed and looked gross. She ate that stuff.
For TE it was Vienna sausages, potted meat and spam. Oh yeah and SOS, or the more proper name Chipped beef gravy on toast.
MW agreed with the spam
JeD said creamed spinach, oysters
Big K said dry non fat milk was really gross. Another thing she hated was little green brains (it took a minute but she meant Brussels’ sprouts)
They both thought we were loosing it when JD and I remember having milk with cream on top and scraping it off.
JD’s dad ate orange marmalade and onion sandwiches,
EWWWWW
His neighbor ate vanilla ice cream and mustard.
Kalamari said chow mien, it looked like little white worms.
The worst think EP could come up with was oyster stew every New Years.
Okay your turn, leave a comment, what is the weirdest, strangest worst thing you can remember your parents eating or making you eat? After all if I’m going to write a book I need lots of material.
