I remember that well. Mine wasn’t saurkraut, it was milk that we had every meal. I hate milk to this day. I love all other kinds of dairy products though.
you can eat hash? :^)
Durian - I like it. Others have slightly different opinions:
The unusual flavour and odour of the fruit have prompted many people to express diverse and passionate views ranging from deep appreciation to intense disgust. Writing in 1856, the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace provides a much-quoted description of the flavour of the durian:
While Wallace cautions that “the smell of the ripe fruit is certainly at first disagreeable”, later descriptions by westerners are more graphic. British novelist Anthony Burgess writes that eating durian is “like eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory.” Chef Andrew Zimmern compares the taste to “completely rotten, mushy onions.” Anthony Bourdain, while a lover of durian, relates his encounter with the fruit as thus: “Its taste can only be described as...indescribable, something you will either love or despise. ...Your breath will smell as if you’d been French-kissing your dead grandmother.” Travel and food writer Richard Sterling says: Other comparisons have been made with the civet, sewage, stale vomit, skunk spray and used surgical swabs.
Dice two or three cloves of garlic.
Slise up cabage thin.
Two table spoons of Olive oil in the bottom of a deep pot. Get it hot enough to brown garlic.
After garlic is brown add cabage. Stir often enough to keep the cabage from burning.
Add a tablespoon or two of curry powder.
YUMMY
I hated them too. My mother and grandmother turned them into a noxious mush. However, now my son and I fight over who gets the last one. My wife steams them with butter and lemon juice and they are delicious!
20 years in the Navy, 10 of them spent on aircraft carriers.
You put almost anything in front of me, I can eat it.
Except chili mac. It’s not that it tastes bad, i just ate soooooooo much chili mac on ship I don’t ever want to see it again.
caviar is the yuckiest food on earth, and you have to pay extra for the really bad stuff.
I LOVE beets, cabbage, broccoli, and can even tolerate brussels sprouts if they’re cooked correctly.
But do I hate sardines & licorice!!
The oven-baked recipe for Brussel sprouts is heaven only I bake mine for about 45 minutes. Crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. But, you still have to like them to enjoy it.
Good luck getting milk from that one.

Hmmm...interesting. Just fried till crispy, I assume.
I’ll have to try that.
WOW....That DOES sound yummy! Think i’ll try that one!
Strapped into a high chair.
Forced to sit there for HOURS until I finished my saurkraut.
A little older, but I had the same thing happen to me with canned peas - hours at the table refusing to eat just one.
Still won't eat them.
I was traumatized by peas as a small child ;)
Sushi is my favorite...particularly uni, ikura, and unagi !
My father was that way about rice for at least 30 years after WWII and Korea. He was in the Navy and claimed they ate rice morning, noon and night. It was only when he was in his 60s that he began to eat rice again.
Oatmeal...I literally retch if anyone is eating it in my presence.
Don’t know of a food I don’t like :) wishing my kids had inherited the gene :(
I eat all of it, including 2% milk.
I was, once upon a time.....drinking fresh, whole milk, milked from my Mama’s old Betsy. :-)
