I can't remember what my parents didn't like and wonder if my dislikes came from them?  Interesting.  I do remember being forced to eat meat as a child as was DH.  Neither of us wanted any meat.  Are most children llike that?  We don't have children

I don't eat eggs, mushrooms, liver or other organ meat, okra, spinach, octopus, snails and lamb. Oh and no game meat.  I just eat too much of the things that I do like.

Scrapple.  Went to grade school in a suburb of Philly and scrapple with stewed tomatoes was served for lunch once a week.

THANKS A BUNCH REDTOP - YOUR FAM'S RECIPE SOUNDS KINDA DELISH I MUST ADMIT

HOME MADE SCRAPPLE - I HAD NO IDEA PEOPLE COULD MAKE IT PALATABLE.

SOUNDS LIKE IF I HAD WHAT YOUR FAMILY MADE - PERHAPS I'D GIVE IT A SHOT, IT DOESN'T SOUND SCARY LLIKE THE MASS PRODUCED STUFF DOES.

I have an old cookbook that my grandmother presented to my mother when she got married in 1948.  The recipes in this cookbook are very basic but things I can't believe people used to prepare and enjoy.  Examples:  calf's head stock, possum stew, salt sturgeon boats - well you get the picture. 

I think the tastes we have become accustomed to have greatly changed over the years, thanks to loads of sugar and processed foods.

Sushi - I have never even tried it

[I am still oxox]

@AnikaBrodie   Good sushi is amazing, it has to be fresh and from a place you know. I could eat sushi everyday. I love shush but not really a fish eater, sushi is a delicacy

The first time I visited my former in-laws overnight...opened the freezer to find a squirrel staring at me....it was quite an adjustment for me....no way would I even consider it! They also had fried fish every morning for breakfast along with pork sausage and ham. No.
No shellfish except shrimp. No undercooked or “rare” food like tuna,beef, pork or chicken, or runny eggs. No scrapple or head cheese or sausage (I saw how it’s made)No mushrooms, beets, or olives.
