Easter egg hunting on the farm...what the bunny left wasn't chocolate.

 

[Carol_]

Mud pie. Because it was pie.

 

[cedricandsophie]

Liver, once and only once.

Beets, once and only once.

Best…wild rhubarb pulled from ground, barely washed under the hose and sprinkled with sugar.

Shark

My mom tried to make shark once. Apparently my grandpa made it, and it was amazing. My mom tried her hand at it. It was so nasty, the cat wouldn't even touch it!
The worst for me was stewed tomatoes. It took me years to use them in my cooking as an adult.

My sister bet me $1 to eat a dog treat. I ate it and she wouldn‘t pay up. I lit into her.

liver

My mom’s cube steak. She cooked then well done with no gravy. Just plain dried out meat. I couldn’t swallow it so I would chew on it and then put the globs of meat around the edge of my plate.

I totally thought you meant like real food, like Mom cooked.

I supposed raw squid. Dad, against his will - he was city raised, took us fishing because we found bamboo rods in the attic and begged. I guess I didn't appreciate the slow sport, was hungry, so ate the bait.

And that wasn't even the worse part of the day. Bamboo rods mean no reels so you throw back and forward. Did I say my Dad was not in to fishing ... so he was standing behind us. You guessed it, I hooked my Dad right in the nose. It was ugly and we never fished again.

Brussels sprouts. They were the frozen ones that mom either boiled or put in the microwave.

I now love roasted Brussel sprouts.

Do you mean a non-food item? I once mixed bubbles with dirt and ate some just to see what it tasted like. I was busted by my sister and they took me to the emergency room.

Real food: Brussels Sprouts - still can't eat them.

Other: My older sister forced me to sit on the floor
and eat a half box of dog biscuits, telling me they were special cookies.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Anything served in the school cafeteria. That or dry dog food. Honestly, I think the dog food was better.

 

[unrequited23]

Once we bought our dog Kibbles & Bits dog food. There was one piece that looked like salami. I was 4 and learned it did not taste like salami.

As for real food, I think it's a toss up between boiled Brussels sprouts and Cadbury creme eggs.

Beets
Pickled Snails
Pigs Feet
Sardines
Pork Steaks
Came from house you HAD to eat what was served PERIOD or go hungry - I often went hungry - my parents in my opinion ate some nasty food ! I am not a picky eater I just don’t care for the weird items they ate - liver yes please - most vegetables - yes ( no Brussel Sprouts just can’t get a taste for them ) but I’ve had lots of out of the ordinary meats - no problem - lots of fowl and fish - just don’t care for snails no matter how you fix then
YMMV
