What were the least favorite things your parents would have you eat growing up?

[CGB]

I never liked the different greens we cooked, despite the amount of bacon, onions or ham we put in them. It didn't matter if it was turnip greens, creasy greens, polk salad, etc. I just couldn't do it.

i eat greens all the time-i was thrilled when i found a canned variety that comes close to the homemade i was fortunate to consume at my former employer's potluck lunches (some PHENOMENAL old school southern cooks).

for those who dislike them, i will gladly consume your shares of-

tomatoes (fresh or stewed i consume at least 5 pounds per week)
brussel sprouts
eggplant
beets
