When I was a kid I was forced to eat tripe in white sauce, pumpkin, transistorised cabbages, turnips, parsnips and soup. I still have soup as a starter but have never had the other once I was old enough to determine what I would eat and not eat.
When I was 5, I was with one set of grandparents (the ones who wanted to feed me castor oil [bigsad]) and they were going to give me pumkin soup for lunch - I did not like this and ran away to go to my other Scotish grandparents who lived nearby to get a decent feed. I can still remember seeing my 60 grandfather chasing me down the dirt road trying to catch me without much luck.
Everything I was forced to eat as a child that I did not like, I have never eaten as an adult.
