Gross shit from when you were a kid

Mayo is for degenerates who hate themselves and life. Not sure how anyone can detest olives, though.

My mother made the worst spaghetti. The sauce was from an old family recipe and she was very proud of it, but honestly, all you could taste was oregano. Just ... oregano.

To this day, it is difficult for me to eat spaghetti, and that's a shame because there are lots of great spaghettis out there.

I pretty much can't eat any vegetables today because they were forced down my throat as a kid (peas, green beans, corn, carrots, broccoli, spinach, etc).  My extent of eating vegetables is adding lettuce to my tacos at Fuzzy's or eating a baked potato with my steak.

I'm generally not picky but the two foods I detest are mayo and olives. When I was a kid, my dad's favorite sandwich was olive loaf on Wonder bread with a generous smear of mayo. Which still makes me want to hurk just reading about it. What about you?

I had no idea my dad sired a daughter.

Ranch dressing, pickles, pepper jelly. 

For a period of my childhood my punishment for swearing was eating pepper jelly because I hated it so much. 

Ive hated ranch dressing since I worked in a restaurant and had to spray out the big salad dressing buckets and the hot ranch dressing mist would almost make me gag every time. 

Pickles have ruined countless sandwiches and piles of French fries over the years. “Oh you want a delicious burger and fries? Let me just throw this dripping pickle spear on the plate so the juice soaks into the bun and fries. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

Oh yes, asparagus from a can. So, so slimy.

This and canned peas. And my mother over cooked all vegetables--even the rare stuff that was fresh from a local farm. It wasn't until I went to UT that I learned how vegetables were supposed to be cooked.

My mom tried to make homemade mac and cheese once.  It got all curdled and disgusting.  It was bad.

My dad wouldn't let any food get wasted, and he was making us eat it for lunch.  My brother spit it up on his plate in a fake demonstration of how disgusted he was, and my dad made him eat the regurgitated mac and cheese, which made him almost legitimately puke.

I haven't thought about olive loaf in a longtime, I'll have to look for it at the store.

As for gross foods, my dear mother liked to get recipe ideas from the local paper, one such recipe was to wrap fish in foil and cook in the dishwasher. She did this several times before my father led the coup and we were able to overthrow her.

My grandfather smears peanut butter and mayo on saltine crackers for lunch. Don't know how he discovered that combo, but he grew up poor so it probably had to do with eating whatever was available.

go check out the mayo on your hot dog thread.  this is being discussed.

I grew up eating (and still do) peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches on white bread. I like to dip Fritos in the PB then into the MW. Or just use the knife.

My mom made bologna boats. Works like this: slices of bologna on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven. No clue what heat, but they curl up and make a bowl. Then she’d put white rice. Voila. Bologna boats. For some reason my wife is fascinated by the thought of this.

Olive Loaf was / is a longtime staple at our hunting camp.  Olive Loaf on white with mayo paired with Fritos and bean dip out of the can.

That's living.....

Fuck yes it is.

It's like some of you heathens never went fishing or hunting in the 1970s.

Olive and pimento loaf sammiches. Vienna sausages and mustard.  Saltines and PB.  Saltines and margarine.  LIVING RIGHT, that's what that was.

Hunting camp cuisine never fails to bring the lulz.

We used to go up to CO to elk and mule deer hunt every year.  When we started going, the owner of the ranch where we hunted would always "take care of the food" which amounted to having his ma fry up a mess of chicken.

Of course, he kept it on ice in an old Coleman cooler.  After the 2nd day, the ice would be melted and the fried yard bird would be floating around in the 90% melted ice.  The drunks would always forget to close the plastic bags the bird pieces were in.  

Cold, water logged, fried chicken for the next 4 days sucked.

We fired him from his commisary duties and soon started cooking our own stuff.

My old man was a culinary wizard - he could turn saltines and Oleo into any meal you wanted (he didn't like saying margarine)

Hungry before hunting - sprinkle some sugar on it and you've got some breakfast - need something hearty - top it with Tabasco..... Main course - go big-time and add another saltine with some lunch meat in between and you have a feast.

The consensus on this thread: olive loaf and canned anything. Only exception I can think of is Underwood's Deviled Ham, which for some reason I enjoyed at the time, even though now it would probably make me wretch. Kids are weird, though, and I was certainly no exception.

But... yeah. Canned vegetables of any description are just gross. As is olive loaf.

My mom's Saturday bacon and eggs. She would clean the entire house while she cooked this meal. Hour and a half to fry the bacon, ended up looking and tasting like yesterdays campfire. Then another hour and a half for the eggs...no bacon grease left after that long, she just cracked the eggs and slow fried them. The egg white would turn green and take on the properties of 1/4" hardware cloth, and the yolk would render down to some form of Sulfa tablet. Just Awful.

I took over the cooking duties in the 7th or 8th grade.

Funny.  My ma would cook pork ribs in the oven.  Afeart to death that we would have undercooked pork on our plates she would cremate the danged things to the point of being nothing but crispy burnt pork adhered to the bones.  She'd then slather the remains in Kraft bbq sauce.  God, bless her.

I hated pork ribs until I had real smoked pork ribs.

Yeah, my Serbian in-laws were deathly afraid of undercooked pork. after I smoked the ribs, then grilled them, my F-I-L would ask if I was going to boil them or microwave them next...

It took me about 10 years to break my wife of ordering every piece of meat well done.

Hunting camp fare definitely lowers the bar on what's acceptable. We evacuated to my dad's hunting camp in Zavala when we were trying to dodge Hurricane Andrew, and there were things I will never unsee.

Jesus Christ. Was there...other stuff in the dishwasher at the time? I have so many questions about the logistics of this.

My mom worked full-time and was always on a diet (for the record, she's tiny and weighs 110 lbs on a fat day), so she was always eating weird shit, like canned stewed tomatoes. I also took over the cooking detail in middle school. We ate lots of Hamburger Helper, spaghetti with meat sauce, and boudin with saltines.
