THE MEAL I HATED MOST AS A CHILD

(May, 2024) Reddit asked, “What meal from your childhood did you hate the most?” Some of the responses – and parents, take note that you’re probably doing this to your kids:
– “My mom’s Shake n’ Bake pork chops. Only the cheapest, most gristly cut, baked until it was devoid of any moisture. My jaw hurts just thinking about trying to chew it.”
– “Liver and onions. My mom would smother it in garlic and she’d say ‘It tastes just like steak.'”
– “Those little individual pot pies. They took forever in the oven and the filling stayed lava hot forever, always burned my mouth. The ‘meat’ was pieces of gristle, the bottom was always soggy and the gravy had a super weird texture and no taste.”
– “Canned spinach is one of the nastiest things on god’s green earth and ruined generations of kids from enjoying vegetables.The first time I tried fresh baby spinach I had no idea it was related to that horrible green canned slime that my parents used to force on us.”
– “Boiled brussel sprouts.”
– “Soft asparagus from a can.”
– “Anything with ‘helper’ in the name.”
– “My mother’s ‘goulash’ was over boiled macaroni, ground beef and plain unseasoned watery tomato sauce.”
– “Mom used to make this ‘breakfast casserole’ every Christmas morning… it was all the leftovers she had available thrown into eggs and baked. It was horrible, but me and my 5 siblings never said a thing.”
– “Mom made great lasagna. Then she decided to get fancy and started adding V-8 juice in it. Awful.”
– “One time I told my mom I wanted some rice pudding. She grabbed some for me at the store. I looked at it and realized I meant bread pudding. Anyway, decades late my mom still thinks I love rice pudding and gets it for me. I hate it.”
