Friday OT #2 - If You Don't Eat Your Meat...

[CtownCyclone]

I tried those once when I was about 15, At 15 I would eat practically anything put in front of me but I'm not sure how anyone could eat that crap.

Maybe Mountain Dew, I used to drink it all the time, the last time I tried one it was just far too sweet. Haven't touched one in well over 10 years.

Along these lines...Cream Soda. My wife had me pick some up for "kid reward" type stuff when we were hunkered down over Christmas. Kids didn't much care for it (they're A&W Root Beer fans), so I said why not and gave one a try. First sip was a good memory of childhood. Subsequent sips were more like, "yeah, now I remember why I quit drinking this stuff." Way too sweet.

Boiled hot dogs.

Boiled hot dogs.

Dump chili on them.

I used to like peeps when I was a kid. Now the thought of those little marshmallow birds is revolting.

oh man, I made a post on social media about microwaving peeps one time and my wife's family thought it meant I really liked peeps. They got me large volumes of peeps every Easter for about 3 years before I finally told them I hate peeps.

 

[PSYclone22]

Literally any Lunchable.

Fruity Pebbles. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of them. My kids wanted them once, so I tried them and it was horrifying.

 

[MeanDean]

Canned sardines or kippered snacks. Used to love those salty *******. Now the sight of the unopened can makes me gag.

 

[madguy30]

KFC. With exception to the biscuits.

don't @ me.

Really though went to pick it up when visiting home a few years ago and I couldn't believe how much it cost for such a low quality.

A couple of rotisserie chickens with sides would have been way better for half the price.

Same
I have been told that I ate basically only hotdogs from age 2 to 4. Then stopped and switched to fish sticks, the hotdog of the sea. for another year or so.

I wouldn't eat either now

I like that. Will have to remember it for use later.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I used to eat peanut butter sandwiches with pizza in the middle. I don't think it would taste so bad now, but it would probably kill my stomach.

Bologna

@Mr Janny just made fun of me about this one. "You should say Spaghetti-Os... oh, wait, you still eat them."

I have some nostalgia that strikes for Spaghetti-Os about once every two or three years. We buy a can, I eat it, remember they are terrible, and then the cycle repeats again two or three years later. :shrug:

Kraft mac and cheese? Can't stop, won't stop.

Can't stand the sauce in spaghetti-o's but i still love the mini ravioli. And it's probably the same sauce.

Mac & Cheese has always been a comfort food for me, moreso than ice cream. I'll probably be eating a bowl of it on my death bed.

Who EVER liked those to begin with?!?!

 

[CyChap]

Ketchup. I used to eat it on literally everything. I'm not kidding, if it was edible, ketchup would be put on it. Green Beans, French Toast, Lasagna, I even tried ketchup on cookies and brownies. Now, I can't even eat ketchup with burgers or fries

 

[StateThrowdown]

Those popsicle things that came in plastic sleeves, as well as Dippin' Dots.

"Ice cream of the future since 1985"

 

[wcamnclone]

Bologna. When I was in elementary school, my mom would make me butter and bologna sandwiches. Don't know how I didn't have a heart attack as a kid.

Same thing here! Can't even fathom looking at the stuff in a grocery store now.

 

[ISUTex]

What are some foods you loved as a child that you can't stand now? I think we've done the flip of this before, but not sure if we've ever done this.

I apparently used to eat cottage cheese like it was my job, but can't stand it now. The texture is horrifying.

What are some of yours?

Ketchup. (i only eat it now if it's mixed with mustard and pickles on a burger, otherwise, nope).
Bread and butter sandwiches.

 

[do4CY]

Spaghetti O's

Plain spaghetti o's were terrible, spaghetti o's w/ meatballs was way better. Just don't ask what kind of meat it is.

I haven't had a bologna sandwich since I was a kid and I'm ok with that.

 

[cyclones500]

I still like a bologna sandwich once in a while.

I think it might be nostalgia, going with Mom to take afternoon lunch to my dad when he was doing field work. Apparently, that was an exciting excursion for me at one time.
