I'm thinkin' they are made with possum! And that gelatin...well, that's cholesterol!

I ate 'em growin' up too, but I don't care for 'em now!

Another one for me is 'pickled pigs feet'. My grandpa ate 'em and I still remember eatin' them with him....but today I don't think I could stomach 'em.

[Queen of Blades]

Can't think of anything.

I was a picky eater as a child. Now I'm less picky. Still picky, just less. :D

[TraderJoe]

McDonalds (except vanilla Ice Cream - delicious)
Burger King
Taco Bell
KFC
Arby's
White Castle

1. Cod liver oil! :signs113

Not by choice-my mother gave it to me once a week on Monday and I would still be belching it on Friday!


2. Castor oil! (see above). Now that I'm older, I found out they use this for airplane wheel bearings!


never, ever again.

Like Joanna, nothing that I can think of. In fact, I'm probably the opposite -- eating things now that I wouldn't when younger.

[_JP_]

I can't think of anything that I would avoid (what I didn't like, I don't miss). But there are things that Mom cooked that I'll never taste again because she is no longer around.

ketchup sandwich. Hey, I was in a hurry.:rolleyes:

Honestly I can't really think of anything unless you include the doggie chocolates my older sister conned me into eating one Christmas when I was 4 or 5. There are things that I wouldn't necessarily eat but it is more an issue that I just wouldn't bother to make them now as opposed to a true aversion. Summers in my parents house could be a pain to find things to eat at times so I'd often take random things that nominally went together to make something for lunch.

For instance I remember looking for lunch one day, nothing I could make in the pantry, so I grabbed a jar of salsa and a can of refried beans, mixed the two together (I was trying to nominally replicate the grocery store bean dip) and then ate that with some tortilla chips. I wouldn't eat that now but it is more because I could come up with better things to make than a true desire not to eat that.

Peanut butter and barbecue sauce sandwiches. Yep.

I too find myself eating much, much less fast food.

But I do like a good heart attack breakfast from Mikey D's now and again.

[Woknblues]

entire pizza's come to mind. I was an eating machine. I couldn't eat more than a few slices today.

[Smedley]

Caterplliars. :D

And Kraft Dinner. Which for those of you from the U.S. who might not know, is boxed macaroni and cheese. Boil water, add noodles. Drain water when noodles are tender, add butter, milk, and powdered cheese surprise. Mix to create sauce.

I used to love it as a kid, but I have three boxes now that I really should give away to a food bank. Tried it again and realized my tastes buds really have matured.

I honestly can't think of anything. I was a pretty picky eater as a kid :confused:

[qhsdoitall]

Let's see. Uh, uh wait, I can think of something. Maybe, OK, got it. I can now eat less to make me full. I used to be able to wolf down, Jack in the Box, double cheeseburger, fries, large soda and 8 tacos. Now I'm down to just 2 tacos. :)

Seriously, I can't take real sweet anymore. Dark chocolate if I am even in the mood for chocolate which it's not often. I'm just not into a lot of sugar. Otherwise, I eat far more things now then when I was a kid and that is only because I have been exposed to far more things. My family was a meat and tators family with vegetables as an afterthought. I did eat every vegetable though. There is only a few things that I have a problem with. 1) Tuna Casserole 2) Durian 3) Ground turkey 4) Certain combinations of meals which call for onions. They repeat on me bad. 5) Pimento, in my opinion is used way too much and tends to overpower dishes. I avoid it at restaurants because I can usually only taste pimento in the meal. 6) Menudo. Love it but it doe snot love me. I opt for Posole which I absolutely love with all the fixings.

fish sticks ..... ewwwwww!

I love pickled pigs feet!! I make some up most every time we take a hog to process.
