Foods you hated growing up?

Peas
Rutabaga
Liver - fortunately, my father disliked this as well - was almost never served in our house.

This brings me back to the infamous Broccoli Wars held at my dinner table when I was just a wee lad.

Plan A: You try to sneak the offending food into your napkin and hope that it works. It does, until Mom starts clearing the table, picks up the napkin, and realizes that it weighs 3 lbs.

Plan B: Slice the food up into small bits and wedge them under the lip of the dinner plate and hope that it works. It does, until Mom starts clearing the table, etc...

Plan C: Drop it on the floor. Problem is that if it's something with a bit of mass, such as the aforementioned and aforedreaded liver, it will hit the deck with a thunk which stops the banal "How was your day?" parental conversation dead in its tracks.

Plan D: D is for Dog Under Dining Room Table! This plan only has a chance of working if the food in question is a meat product. Good luck selling Spot that brussels sprouts are an acquired taste....

I disliked peas and carrots, cabbage and cauliflower all my life. Can't hardly stand it when my lovely wife eats cauliflower. Hard to believe some of you guys don't like watermelon! Wow, I thought watermelon made the world go round. How about sauerkraut? I love the stuff, wow sauerkraut, sausage,(say bratwurst or kielbasa) and mashed potatoes with butter -awesome!

The perennial gag reflex food - liver.

PS How can anyone not like watermelon unless you got a bad one?

Love melons... all melons

I don't care for Brussel sprouts, liver or pumpkin. Not a big fan of hardly anything Andrew Zimmern (Bizarre foods) will put in his mouth.

Add snails to this list as well.

Having said all this, I think a lot of food issues are physiological. If you were to prepare nearly any of the foods above in an appealing manner and not tell me what it was, I would probably eat it.

Or if we were truly starving - there would be no discrimination in tastes... thank God we're not.

Canned peas, fish, particularly Halibut, and broccoli.

Loved, loved, loved, liver and onions. Still do.
