Marzipan. I never loved it, but when I was a child I'd eat it and wouldn't mind. Now I hate the stuff, even thinking about the taste makes me feel sick.

Oh, and Kandee ketchup. Vile.

Fish fingers.

My flatmate still eats them. What's worse, she buys "Asda value fish fingers". God only knows what's in there, but I'd doubt there's any fish!

Colcannon,
sausage mountain,
grass,
rubarb leaves (later found these are poisonous but did me no harm *head twitches* )

When I was younger I used to LOVE those crispy pancakes, I'm not sure who makes them but basically they had different fillings like chicken and sweetcorn or bolegnese wrapped in some sort of breadcrumb batter, they're kinda hard to describe but about two weeks ago I was in Tesco and got a really bad craving for them so I bought them but I could only manage a tiny bit of the outside before I had to throw them out...they were just SO vile!!

Colcannon,

I used to love that too but I think it could have been because we only ever had it at Halloween and it was full of pound coins wrapped in tin foil. It makes me gag now.

Mr E

Huh-whaaa??

Colcannon is potato, cabbage, and lots of butter mixed together.

Hallowe'en? Wrapped in Tin Foil? Pound Coins? Jesus....

Bard

Whats wrong with Colcannon? Sure it's only mash and cabbage... I still eat it.

My addition to the list is YOGHURT. Blech.

Speaking of yoghurt, I always liked Petit Filous, until I figured out that "fromage frais" is actually cheese, not yoghurt. That kind of put me off. I'd still eat them though.

For me, boiled ham... I can't eat it any more.

Gammon steaks pleu

hahah, we can't be the only people who did that??

I can't remember what the reasoning was behind it but my mum used to always wrap coins up in tinfoil and hide them in the colcannon, kinda like how you find the ring in the brack...

I don't like mashed potato (can't stand the texture), and I don't like cabbage (taste) so maybe that was the only way my mum could get me to eat it!!!

Same aswell, but I don't eat them anymore. Can't stand them.

Is colcannon not Kale and Mash?

That's what hallowe'ens in my house were anyway.

POUND COINS?! :eek:

We used to get twenty pences, and be glad of them.

Exact same as me. Findus Crispy Pancakes. I used to live on the minced meat ones. Tried the chicken ones the odd time. Used to put them in between bread, or with waffles, or just by themselves. Got them a few years back and they were muck! No wonder my Mum always hated seeing me eat them.
Rarely drink fizzy drinks now too.
Corned Beef would be another thing. I'd still eat Billy Roll though!

wtf is Billy Roll?

Another thing that my mam used to buy was Pork Onion & Tomato.

A sandwich meat that was vile. But still, it was kind of spicy, so I ate it. Wouldn't touch the stuff now though.

Oh gross, I remember that! We used put it in sandwiches... Then we realised how gross it was and used buy it to give to our dog as a treat. How can you have pork, onion AND tomato in one piece of "meat"?

This is billy roll right??

Ugh, yeah, I think it is. With that creepy smiling face on it...

The Findus Crispy Pancake made me think - French Bread Pizza. The crust was always very crunchy and loud when bitten into and the topping was always scalding hot - so hot that the roof of my mouth would be tender for a few days after eating one of these.

But I'm convinced that they actually used to be nice but they changed them. I don't remember them as being hard and greasy with hardly any filling like they are now.

I was eating the mince meat ones before (I was on the couch so I was kind of lying back) when the filling fell out and landed on my chest. It was piping hot and it hurt like hell, the next day when I woke up I had a huge blister on my chest. It was there for ages, I even had a red mark for months after. I think that's what put me off them for so long and when I had them again they just weren't the same.

it's your lucky day as in you won't be put off anymore when you eat them, the only difference between yoghurt and "fromage frais" is minimal.they just add cream to make fromage frais to make it more onctuous. there are other small difference within the techniques they use to make them both, but essentially they are both just curdled milk, (which, to be fair is also how cheese making starts)

Pj!

Raw skinless sausages.


Bleurrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! What was I at?

Pigletlover

I used to love them too, I was always robbing them out of the fridge. I used to drink cold oxtail soup mix too

Oh well then....gross.

I used to love banana sandwiches as well when I was a kid but now I find them digusting...The smell of the banana just puts me off.
