Liver,
The stuff they used to give you with bacon for school dinners... Put me of for life which is a shame as when you see calfs liver cooked properly it always looks really delicious |

Board beans, butter beans, string beans. When I was at school in the early 1970's was forced to stay in one lunchtime and told I could not leave until I'd eaten them. Of course my mam went to the school and it never happened again. To this day I still won't have them. Yak.

I (Fox) spent a couple of years in a private school when I was about six and the food was horrible.
I will be forever traumatised by images of green chips and "bleh, bleh, blehity bleh" butterscotch blancmange.
Even typing that makes me want to have heave.

You couldn't tell on "big people" plus how does a four year old articulate "that bitch is fattening up her husband on our food whilst we're eating cardboard?"
My mother would have beat me for lying! |

Brussel sprouts make me heave and puke.Even if there is a little bit in a roast dinner I will find it.But the real weird thing about it is I can eat sprouts raw.I think it must be the way they look slimy when they are cooked. |

Porridge, when I was young my mum used to force me to eat it, if I sat there 3 hours she'd make me sit there till it was gone and make me eat it cold which was even worse, there were a few occasions I was physically sick eating it so she'd just make some more and it would start all over again
I can have it in the house, my kids have never eaten it as I cant cook it |

"Mince. We were quite poor when i was very young and mince was the cheapest meat around. Can't even look at the stuff now."
Same here, we were poor. To top it my mum used to cook it badly to boot, we called it rubber munch. Pea's pudding another childhood food nightmare, yuck. |

OMG!I practically live on Weetabix.
Liver gets me. My daddy forced me to eat it. I did and he got it all straight back on the table.
Cannot stand Jaffa Cakes either and people eat them packets at a time. Boke! |

Reconstituted dried chicken supreme. When I was little, we used to go on camping holidays and one of my mum's "specialities" was this crap mixture that you added water to and heated up. There would always be parts where the water hadn't mixed in properly and I'd get a mouthful of clumped powder. It was truly horrific and it scarred me for life |

"For me it was not a food as such, it was Cod Liver oil. Not in the nice little capsules you get now, but from the bottle. It tasted foul, I still get the shakes when I hear of it."
Every Friday night: "wash out!" Liquid of Life tonic and cod liver oil...my parents were evil! |

Campbells meat balls.
When my two brothers and I were younger, pre teens, my Mother always had trouble finding suitable food for all three, I would eat anything, she happened to get meat balls on night which all three of us ate, then meat balls for 7 nights in a row, she must have been exasperated with the situation yet thrilled at finding something all three of us liked.
I've never eaten on since that seventh night and even the site of them makes me wretch |

Steak and kidney pie.
Green ketchup.
Frubes (i choaked on one when I was being fed as a young child - I now can't eat any yoghurt without my throat closing up).
There's a muffin place in Woking (near toys'r'us for those of you who know Woking) that always has the same smell coming from it. Ever since I was little, I've hated that smell.. and I walked past it today and the smell still makes me feel sick. Strangely it makes me think of france... No idea why!! |

Marmite, my dad used to force me to eat it, he said it was good for me and make me strong.
I hated then and hate it now, strange really as he shuddered at the sight of veg, yet I've always liked it, sprouts and all. |

any hot milk thing - custard, coffee made with milk- any ricepudding type things,porridge - an old flat mate used to put hot milk on cornflakes - it has a smell that is quite disgustingly unique |

Milk chocolate digestives! I'd die of starvation rather than eat them. My friend and I ate a whole packet when I was about six and I've not touched one since. |

Lettuce- harmless I know but not when a bitch of a headmistress cuts it up and mashes it in with your mash potato then makes you eat it! I was 7!! Got my own back, promptly vomited it in her lap!
Still can't abide lettuce now and if there is a remote tiny piece in anything I'm eating I can find it and I can't finish my food as it makes me feel sick |

Steak and kidney pudding....GROSS... especially when its steamed so the "pastry" is still white. We were made to eat everything that was put in front of us as kids, my bro tried to sneak his into the bin and my dad belted him took it out of the bin and made him eat it. Man I wish we had childline back then |

I can't remember being traumatised by any food when I was a child. If I didn't like it, or didn't want to eat it, I didn't.
I was an incredibly determined and stubborn child but my mum was pretty good about not trying to force me to do things I didn't want to.
I have a few bad food memories from adulthood but nothing particularly traumatic. Except perhaps the cous cous incident.
I absolutely will not eat cous cous now!
There are quite a few things I don't like and won't eat. There are plenty of other options and life's too short to eat things you don't like, if you don't have to.
Most of the time I don't have to and I consider myself very fortunate. |
