Nasty dishes you remember
Every Thanksgiving when I was a child someone would make shrimp and pea salad with canned shrimp and peas. I was grossed out then and just thinking about it makes me queasy.

Any kind of Liver. I guess my Dad liked Liver and onion, because my Mom made it about once a month. Those were the day's of "You are not leaving the table until you eat that." Thank God for dachshunds. (Although the little weasels would not eat veggies.)
Now, I can not name one vegetable I do not like. I've not had one bite of Liver since I've been an adult.

Agree with liver or any organi meat .
But as its Ground into hot dogs I am sure have ate a lot of it
It was never served at our house when I a kid my parents hated it
Wife said her mom would make it but only her dad and mom would eat it none of the kids
So needless to say no liver or heart tongue, brains tripe , and a list of other such parts at our house even the smell of liver cooking is too much
All Just fish bait all I ever used it for

Chicken or turkey gizzards is about as far as I venture into eating organs. As for eating vegetables, I’ve never been able to enjoy Okra, I think it’s more the texture of it rather than the taste that gets to me.

I do enjoy eating calves liver a couple times a year. Buy it in one pound frozen plastic packages. A year or two back, I had the package all thawed out and was opening it to drain over the kitchen sink. Lots of blood comes out but this time the liver slipped through my cut opening and it slimed its way down the drain!!! No liver was left for me to cook!
I had a very hard time learning to like green beans growing up. When that Thanksgiving casserole came to be, I suddenly developed a taste for them!
To this day, I will not eat a lima bean! yuk!!

Okra and stewed tomatoes over rice, diced fresh onions, mmnn.............Good.
(Also) Can't make a decent Gumbo without Okra.
I have a ton of Okra, Tomatoes and Corn, all in one, (canned) in my SHTF supplies. (As well as a ton of other canned Veggies and meat/meals.)

Peanut butter sandwich with Karo corn syrup. My WV cousins ate those things. I see Karo syrup at the grocery store and I feel a little sick.

I will assuredly never again have the "opportunity" to eat living monkey brains, and that's a very good thing.
I very much enjoy liver, brains, kidneys, and especially tongue. The only things I don't eat are cilantro, asparagus, and avocado. The first two because of the adverse effects and the last because of the heavy potassium load.
I'm pretty easy to cook for.

I ordered Curried Brain in Pakistan. I'm not a fussy eater but I could not eat that meal.

My dad would eat that mess mixed up on a plate . Never seen anyone else eat it
I never ask but guess it was a treat when he was younger and had nothing and just grew to like it

Yeah, I don't get that one, either. PB and honey is quite popular, and if you don't have honey, why not sub some Karo?

I like/ would eat everything mentioned so far except the monkey brains. But I like a fried beef brain sandwich.

On a bet, I tried to gross out one of my Army roommates.
I was eating red hot Potato chips, Sardines and Chocolate Ice Cream. I'd take a chip, put a Sardine on it and then a spoonful of chocolate ice cream. Mmnn.............Mmnn...............

My father, raised during the depression, with too many mouths at home to feed staked out a restaurant in his small town and ate the food out of the garbage cans, not eaten by the patrons. I don’t know of anything he wouldn’t eat.
Jack Q. a WWII fighter pilot lost an engine and crashed in the ocean. He survived 11 days on an island trying to avoid the Japanese while getting back to American lines.
He said, “you’d be surprised what you’d eat after about three days.”

Worst thing I ever had to eat was kraut dumplins. Visited relatives in the great state of pensiltucky. Had to eat the mess or offend the cook. Never again.

Some people just never were that hungry I guess... I'll eat what I like now, but at times in my youth we ate what we had and were happy to have something in our bellies. Some of the worst things people talk about now a days bring back memories of heck no! and others are fond memories of wish I could get that again.... I have tried to recreate some and it just isn't the same as I remember...

My maternal grandmother always made stewed tomatoes... She was one of the best cooks ever, but that dish was horrible! It makes me queasy thinking about it...

My old man loved what I assume was Depression fare. Ground beef rendered to the consistency of cat litter mixed with sautéed canned corn, onions and carrots . All over boiled or mashed potatoes.

That's the stuff you make homemade braunschweiger out of. Hate all of them separately. But together, heavenly!

Put up close to 130 quarts of stewed maters this year. Love them. It'll last us two years, and I'll do it again.
Put that shit in everything! As they say ...

I like tomatoes in every possible dish. For whatever reason, stewed tomatoes make me wretch.... One of the few things I will not eat.

Oh, it's good. We all have our own needs and likes.
My parents forced me to eat... Whatever, mostly liver or veggies...
Still can't.
