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?

Tried to make me eat pork after I said I wouldn't it any more...I refused and didn't have any supper it was put in the refrigerator for breakfast...didn't eat breakfast either and went to school and had lunch cause I had a lunch ticket. I was expecting the pork chop to be waiting on a plate for my supper but it was gone and they knew I meant business skipping two meals in a row.

@cherokeepatti We didn't ahve a lunch ticket program - we either brought money, or a sack lunch. Dad was shall we say, stubborn, and so was I. I refused to eat the liver that night, the next morning, and for dinner the next night. Mom gave in tossed it out after dinner and sneaked me a sandwich. I think she and Dad had an argument over it alter that night; but I never had to eat liver again. Win mom! Win me!

@frequentlyme I can't stand liver either....would put it on my tongue and say "try it" and my tongue would come back out with the liver on it...I called it "dirty meat" and I was about 3-4 years old....
