What was the worst food that your mom made you eat?

Anonymous
OH there were many things...we grew up with 8 kids so everything was a casserole. I hated the tuna fish casseroles. Also, lamb seemed to be big back then...even the smell makes me nauseous. My dad was Jewish so he ate really gross gafiltafish (no idea how to spell it).

So many other things I can't even remember...meat loaf, cabbage and mystery ingredients...etc.

My mom's weren't as bad as this- I remember having to eat brussels sprouts (boiled, plain) and stewed squash and not being able to get up before eating them. But I remember one dish she fixed that I HATED- she called it chicken divan. Not sure if this is really the way chicken divan is supposed to be made, but it was just boiled and shredded chicken breasts, broccoli florets, mixed together with a ton of mayonnaise, and baked with bread crumbs on top. It tasted purely of mayonnaise. Hot mayonnaise.

My dad cooked once when my mom was in the hospital for a few days after a surgery. He asked the 3 of us what our favorite foods were and cooked them all together to save on dishes. If we ate it we could have our favorite dessert mixture.

Eh, gefilte fish isn't that bad, unless it is out of a can. That stuff is pretty bad, it's basically the spam of fish. Freshly made or from a decent deli it is ok, but perhaps something you have to grow up with. I am Jewish so I grew up with it and while I don't like it much, I can get through a small piece once a year.

Chopped liver, on the other hand ... ugh. Looks and smells like cat food.

My mom used to send me to school with liverwurst, onion and mustard sandwiches. It's a wonder I had any friends given how bad my breath must have been after eating that.

I hated BBQ. My mom used to buy these really cheap bbq meat things that my sister and I HATED. We would try to hide them in the back of the freezer, hoping she wouldn't notice them and forget she had them

At school they made us eat all of our food. This was like second grade. I TOLD them I hated the bbq and didnt want it, and a teacher stood over me and made me eat it. I threw it up all over the table. I wasnt forced to eat that again...

Eugh, gefilte fish was the bane of my Jewish childhood. I had a big issue with food texture when I was a kid and my grandma's gefilte fish had just about the worst texture imaginable and tasted like fishy pickles. Every Passover she told me that if I didn't eat it, the prophet Elijah wouldn't come

If you want to be really grossed out, there's a website out there that has pictures of recipe cards from weight watchers from the 70's (I think). They are hilarious and horrifying.


I LOVE that site! Hilarious!

Thank you SO much for this. Literally laughed out loud at the commentary.

Pretty much everything my mom cooked was yucky. She is just a terrible cook. She would mix all the "healthy" ingredients together and call it soup. Or stew. Or whatever. I hate you mommy

Navy beans! a giant pot of these nasty mushy beans. We had to eat them, alone, for 3 days. So fucking gross.
