I am piggybacking from another blog on the ring....and I needed a fun break from the ten million things that came up at the last minute today and tonight.
1. Liver. Yuck. My grandmother would actually go out to a restaurant with us and order liver and onions. Again, I say, yuck.
2. Can I say liver twice?
3. Pork Chops. I remember chewing them endlessly until it tasted like paper in my mouth. I am pretty sure I cried a few times when my mom made pork chops.
4. Milk straight up. My husband is probably faint of heart right now, but I don't like drinking milk straight in a glass. Only in cereal. Now, the exception here is when I was pregnant, then I could drink milk with no problem.
5. Codfish (and assorted fishes except salmon). My uncle Chet forced me to sit at the dinner table with a hunk of codfish on my plate and demanded I stay there until the fish was eaten. I was there for a very, very long time. Also, in Ecuador, we went fishing for trucha and afterward, it was cooked and served to me with the head and eyeballs. I could not. My abuelita ate it.
6. Pig. I am talking the whole pig....again in Ecuador, this is a big deal and my dad always buys a pig for the family gatherings there. Again with the face, the ears, the crunchy skin. My cousins would tease me about it, but it just wasn't happening.
7. Maple Syrup. Now, this one is strange and even baffles me. I loved maple syrup until Connor came along. Suddenly the smell makes me ill and I cannot even stand to have the boys eat it and smell like syrup afterward. I eat my pancakes with peaches now. I am even grossed out now as I write about maple syrup.
8. Ketchup on French Fries. Never have liked ketchup on anything except a hamburger and it must be mixed with mustard and mayo. I refuse to eat anything that ketchup has even touched in some way. Now my son will eat most things doused in ketchup.
9. Eggs. I was kicked under the table by my then future mother-in-law for eating eggs politely when she knew I hated them. I do not like them, Sam I Am.
10. Green Olives. I have to vote for black olives as my favorite.
I am sure there are more foods....my mom will probably come up with a bunch. Back to work now....

Interesting list. I like some of the things on your list, but I would agree with you on the liver and lots of different fishes and probably the pig.
I was there for the "egg" kick under the table. This was back in our first few months dating. My mother knew that Linda didn't like eggs, but my brother did not, so he had made eggs for breakfast one morning. When asked if she wanted some eggs, Linda said "Umm... sure.". Mom comes out to the kitchen later, sees Linda struggling to eat the eggs and actually kicked her under the table for being too polite.
But how could anybody not like milk? It is only the best drink ever! And even better with Nestle's Quik!

Love this list. I can't stand crab legs since I had my dd. it was the first thing I got sick on when i was pregnant with her. Crab legs are her favorite in seafood. Kills me!
I can't believe someone doesn't like ketchup! It's like a vegetable in my house. I'm with you on the pig thing...YUCK!
