Foods that I hate

I envy my siblings for not being forced to eat some of the foods that I had to eat when I was younger.

The thought of the following still make me cringe to this day:

1) Porridge - That was my Saturday breakfast growing up. It doesn’t matter how many times I threw up or felt like throwing up, my parents still forced me to drink it.

2) Egg Salad Sandwiches - My Mother must have prepared egg salad sandwiches for me every other day when I was in grade one. I’m pretty sure I threw them out half the time.

3) Cabbage – My Mother always cooked it with corn beef and rice but I couldn’t stand the smell of cabbage. I was never allowed to leave the table without finishing every bit of cabbage that was on my plate.

4) Carrot Juice – I’m not talking about the one that has condensed milk in it. I’m talking about the raw carrot juice with just a dash of nutmeg. 

No child should ever be forced to eat or drink anything they don’t like. I’m sure if my parents didn’t make me eat and drink the foods and beverage mentioned above, I probably wouldn’t mind having them today.

What foods did your parents force you to eat growing up?
