What food were you fed as a child that you didn’t know was weird until you were an adult?

I had a grandmother who would hard boil eggs, mash them and then make breaded egg patties out of them for breakfast, or sandwiches. Wasn’t terrible. Just different. I’ve not ever known anyone else who did this.

@Atlotto Oh yeah, you made me remember that. I had to gather it, bring it to the house and wash it, cook it in 2 waters and rinse it and freeze it in quart bags. I think I froze about 45 bags of it one summer. Nasty flavor and we had to eat it about once a week till it was gone. I guess it has some health benefits though.
