I was never forced to eat anything my parents provided me for a meal. I also never forced my two children to eat anything either that was placed in front of them. The food was placed in front of them and they ate or went a little hungry. Some of you will say that's cruel or that I'm just making this up, but that how it was.
I am sure the TROLLS will have a field day on my comments.
So let it rip..

Never had anything forced down my throat. I am a firm believer in respecting one's palate. Some tastes can be acquired-and lost. In my youth I did not like sausage, I enjoyed Taylor's Ham and mayonnaise. Now I like sausage and Taylor's Ham and mayonnaise are no longer on my plate. One woman told her mother was constantly forcing cauliflower on her. Her mother would find all sorts of ways to mix it in with other things. And she'd spit it out.
I wouldn't say it was the worst, but my Grandfather always made me eat the potato peel -- because of An Gorta Mor, the Great Hunger in Ireland.
Boiled Brussels Sprouts. Taste like some kind of skunked rubber.
Liver!!!!!! I simply do not eat innards.
canned pea's. hate them things. nasty tasting, and had to sit there until they were gone.
Dinner went on the plate and we had to eat everything on it. Our cousins in Europe didn't have it so good, or so I was told. I ate liver, spinach, brussel sprouts, cabbage, bleu cheese....long list and I liked it. I used to ask for hackenpater on pumpernickel with a bit of limburger. (got beer with that) Never acquired a taste for broccoli but I forced it down. Spare ribs...nobody ever cooked them right and we had to suck the bones dry and white. I used to call it plastic meat. Told them not to even think about putting fried calves brains on my plate.
To this day I don't eat ribs. Given a choice between ribs or vegemite, I'll take the veggie on toast any day.
