Sure have, I'm one of the guys posting into the thread you
mentioned. I suppose in some ways food is almost like comedy. What
made you laugh 40 years ago might not work today. But of course some
things endure. I believe people's opinions of certain foods,
especially the negative ones, are created when their first encounter
is unpleasant because of the way it was cooked. My half brother will
not eat liver. His mother was a good cook but I can tell she was the
type who, if she made liver, would cook it till it's dried out and
chalky. I believe this because my brother likes other foods that
could be considered icky, yet he won't try a bite of liver. Also,
maybe what kids want to eat should not be messed with too much by
their parents. Who knows, maybe kids need more fat and sugar to keep
that young engine churning.
