Food I used to hate as a kid....

[Monsieur Abeille]

Liver and bread and Butter pudding. Aged 7 I was at a school which featured both of these for Tuesday lunchtime, was rather unforgiving to reluctant children so we had to eat it, and every Tuesday I was sick. Nice!

Later moved to a vegetarian school which brought about its own complications and inbuilt prejudices plus an addiction to contraband sausage rolls.

Now I enjoy a bread and butter but still rather indifferent to liver, though not so bad.

Actually cooking a hot-pot in remembrance of Betty tonight and am going to include another thing which I used to detest and not eaten for about 40 years, kidneys.

Hmmm... looks like all the old, unfavourites are here: mushrooms, sprouts, cabbage, liver, school dinners (except puddings of course)

seems like the main cause of childhood is not really the food, more the preparation...

Just took delivery of some freshly grated horseradish and made into very pungent paste, cant wait to get some beef to try it on

Funnily enough I never minded hot things like horseradish when I was a kid. It grows wild where I was brought up, and I used to like the smell of it when it was trodden on.

Don't wait for beef. Use it in horseradish mash with potato. Yummy! I can feel the burn..

My son taught me to love cabbage, shred it really thin and cook it in a knob of butter, stirring often for about 3 minutes, it keeps the flavour in and it can't go soggy because there's no water!

I have decided as an adult that I don't want to be bothered with the faff of peeling oranges anymore, there fore I will only have orange juice or easy peeler satsumas and the like.
