Food question

[doxdogy]

As a child, do you remember a dish that one of your parents fixed that was absolutely horrible? I remember just one that my father made. He fixed dinner while we were at a girl scout meeting. It was fried chicken and he had rolled it in pancake syrup before flouring it. Talk about nasty, it was disgusting. I still kid him about once in awhile and it was over 30 years ago. My mother never allowed him to fix fried chicken again. Much to my relief because fried chicken was my absolute favorite growing up.

My parents, no. But my best friends dad decided to cook dinner one night when i was sleeping over. He decided to make a "pasta surprise". He mixed spaghetti sauce and tuna fish. It was the most disgusting thing I ever had. His wife got so mad!! The smell was so horrible!! I haven't had tuna fish in a can since then.

To this day, my mom will NOT fix salmon patties around me. I don't eat them, and they make me green faced if I smell them being prepared. Same way with fried liver too. Never eaten it either, it's just smells nasty.

We were without spaghetti sauce one time and I really wanted some spaghetti. So my mom poured some thousand island dressing on it instead. YUCK!

liver and onions we had to eat it twice a year because it was good for us LOL she would fry it in a frying pan till it was shoe leather I always made sure the dog was sitting under the table by me my younger sisters never knew how I could eat all that liver if they only knew it was the poor dog eating it LOL

My Dad was a penny pincher out of necessity (7 kids). He did all the grocery shopping, and would always shop the day old baked goods. I didn't know what fresh bread tasted like until I moved out of the house . My mother is a great cook-I love everything she makes. At our house I would have to say if I serve veggie burgers (which I love ) my kids will stick their noses up.

My mom's all time worst was Liver and Onions. I couldn't choke that stuff down.

Weird one here. I love liver & onions...although the onions always made me itch. My mom was a good cook, although there were quite a few veggies she made that I really hated: fried tomatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower... My dad, on the other hand, couldn't get all the parts of dinner finished at the same time even with a time table of when to start things. We'd eat over the course of an hour when he cooked. 1st the meat, then the mashed potatoes & finally the green beans. He also couldn't make grilled cheese w/o burning them.

Creamed chip beef on toast *BLEH* - or as dad called it s*** on a shingle

 

[doxdogy]

Believe it or not, I love dried beef on toast. Guess being a Navy brat explains it.

Mom used to fix liver, onions and bacon fer dad....

....I couldn't then...nor now...stomach that!!

Anything that included ground meat in my house tasted the same....hamburgers, meat loaf, meatballs....and I hated them all. Particularly meat loaf...still don't eat it.

Every once in a while, my mother used to make pork and sauerkraut for her and my father. It really stunk! She always made us kids something else to eat, though. She did the same thing with clams and lobster tails. She’d always offer us some of what they were eating, but I just couldn’t eat them! (Still can’t!)

I hated dinner in my house when I was growing up! If it wasn't burnt or covered with butter, it probably wasn't on our dinner table! LOL!! That's probably why I was such a skinny kid growing up and how I became a breakfast lover; I hated most dinners in our house and wouldn't eat it!

I don't remember my dad ever cooking anything. My mom usually made pretty good stuff. I guess the most disgusting thing she made, that we HAD to eat...we HAD to eat everything...including baked beans, yuck! but my little sister, the spoiled brat that she was, didn't HAVE to eat lima beans...but that's another story...lol...anyway, to get back to the original question...my dad used to hunt...deer, rabbit, pheasant. Rabbit wasn't too bad, but I really didn't care for deer meat...but, I HAD to eat it. I'll never forget the first time I made creamed chip beef, or **** on a shingle, as my dad used to call it also! It was right after we got married. Oh, it was a mess. The flour didn't mix into the milk too well...we had flour puffs bursting in our mouths!

 

[DocRafiki]

What the heck is chipped beef on toast?

And how could you hate fried tomatoes???

 

[doxdogy]

It is dried beef that either sold in a jar or a plastic pack. You mix it with onions, green peppers, add some flour and milk to make a gravy and serve it on toast.

Liver and onions ranks right up there with ham and cabbage--YUCK. My mom cooked veggies way to done and I hated them all. Slowly I'm coming around because I'm learning they don't/shouldn't be cooked to death!
I hate chicken pot pies (frozen dinner kind) Every Wed. night my Dad made them because my mom coached P. A. L. at the local school on Wed. nights.

I still like Stouffer's creamed chipped beef on taost. And I don't even want to hear how fattening or full of sodium that kind must be!!

 

[Dopey Sharon]

onions and green peppers in creamed chip beef???ewwwww. Mine has milk, corn starch (easier to thicken with...no clumps!) and some butter that I browned the beef in. That's it. Serve it over toast and yummmm. Stouffers is pretty good too.

That's my recipe also. Never heard of onions and green peppers in it.
