What was one meal your mom used to make when you were a kid that you absolutely hated?

Question

For me, it was a dish she referred to as a boiled dinner. She'd take cut potatoes, green beans and bacon and cook them up as a soup like meal. I absolutely hate boiled bacon, so it always grossed me out. To this day, I refuse to eat that meal. Her defense is that bacon only cost $1.00 back then.

Answer 1

I hated the fried fish with yellow rice with cut up hot dogs and shrimp in it that my mom made. The combination of it all cooking would reek the house with a nasty smell. I hated eating it. I would hide the food in my napkin and throw it away. To this day, I would not eat any seafood. Thanks ma!

Answer 2

Liver and onions with bacon. She said the bacon was to give the liver taste. Why make something that has no taste? I never understood. To this day, I feel a little nauseous when I walk by the liver in the meat aisle at the grocery store. YUK! My brother and I finally started refusing to eat it and made her make us mac and cheese on those nights.

Answer 3

potatos, bacon, and green beans is one of my favorite meals from when i was a kid until now, but we fried the bacon first then added the water.
uuuuum... i dont remember not liking anything my mom made when i was a kid, shes the best cook.

Answer 4

Most of the meals I had when I was young I hated!! They would be served up again for me at the next meal time.....ugh!
I was a terrible eater.....but now will eat absolutely anything!
One of the worst meals (and my poor mother was an excellent cook!) was kedgeree of smoked cod, with a creamy yellow sauce in which there were pieces or chopped up hard boiled egg and peas.....I would love it today!

Answer 5

My mother used to make us eat Liver and Onions with boiled potatoes...She would cook the Liver so much that it was like the bottom of your shoe and put canned brown gravy on it.....

Try serving that to an 8 year old.

Same thing...Liver was less expensive than Chicken in those days...

Answer 6

Haha I love this question. I"m honestly not gonna read all of that, but I got to the part about the blocked phone and just had to tell you this- don't over-analyze things. She might be or she might not be, but it's really not any of your business. I'm not saying it to be rude, I would be just as curious as you are, but this is really something that's between your mom and her friend. I'm sure if something was going on and she felt comfortable telling you, she would. Just leave it alone and focus on something else. Hope this helps!

Answer 7

My mom used to fix liver and onions.....with gravy and white rice. Then she had the audacity to make some lima beans for the vegetable. UGH! It was awful!

In a close second, she also made 10-bean soup out of some dried beans in a bag. She had to cooks those mugs ALL day to make them soft. She made cornbread muffins and gave each family member a hearty portion of ham hock in our soup. It was SO gross.

lol. (good question! star for YOU!)

Answer 8

My mom was a really bad cook. I hated her goulash. She also made this odd casserole in a 9x9 pan (there were 6 of us), she would put down a layer of raw burger, than dump a can of mixed veggies on it, put some frozen tater tots on that and dump a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup on top of it and bake it up. Odd, just odd.
My Dad was the much better cook. And though we never hurt for money (although at the time though we were poor the way my Dad was always whining about how he had no money) I realize feed a family of 6 takes money but now it's just mom and dad and they grill every freaking night. :)

Answer 9

My mom was a good cook, although a very 1950's cook. But I gagged and refused to eat creamed spinach. It's nasty! And it still is to this day! It took me 20+ years to like cooked spinach in lasagna or manicotti, or raw spinach. But never ever creamed spinach!

Answer 10

Actually I quite liked my mom's cooking. I really cannot think of any dish she made that I absolutely hated.
