What were some things you hated but your parents made you eat?

For me it was liver (disgusting stuff!), green peas, lima beans and canned spinach. I tried all the tricks that never worked, and when I refused, Dad would put what I refused to eat in the fridge, and tell me that before I got another thing to eat, I had to eat whatever was left. You ever try to eat cold, leftover liver?

Pork of any kind. I used to eat everything else on my plate, but lied when it came to the pork chops or ribs. I always threw the meat in the bushes by our house. Then my dad decided to trim it... Thankfully he respected the fact I didn't like eating meat growing up. As a teen he would give me money every day to buy my own meal for supper.
I'm so glad he didn't push me into doing what he wanted me to do when it came to what I wanted feed myself.
