I have never like sliced tongue or steamed spinach, and the memory of the combination of those with junket, as a child, still makes me heave. Anybody else got any food horrors?
@jinglebellsfrocks - Whalemeat - I understand it's very popular in Japan...
I remember when it was tried in WWII - we were pretty desperate for grub, but when my mother attempted to prepare it - that was the last time it appeared in our kitchen! Another dismal failure was tinned snoek - I believe the government purchased large stocks of it - but the Brits wouldn't eat that either.
I remember my mother referring to snoek which came, I think, from South Africa. I don't remember eating any - I was only four and a half when the war ended.
Pink blancmange yuk. Nuts that have gone off. An ice lolly with ice-cream in the middle, was it called a 'Mivy' ? White butter beans that used to be in the school stew.
Anything from the inside of an animal - not so keen on the outside either. Anything with fat or gristle attached, eels, oysters & snails, mangos, skin on milk puddings or custard, slimey fried eggs, chillies, full fat milk.
Never really liked cream - hate milk - but then discovered that it made me nauseous, so never (knowingly) touch it. A lot of veggie dishes in Italian restaurants are loaded with cream, so I have to keep an eye on the menu.
