After about an hour of staring at the slimey, ground up, pale thing, I finally doused it in ketchup and attempted to get a bite down. Just then my brother came into the room and said something funny. I snorted and that bite of hot dog smothered in ketchup went up through my nose! Talk about burning! I ran into the bathroom and gagged. I still can't smell a hot dog or watch my husband eat one.

Precocious child that I was, I tried my first escargot at age 4. When I was 5 1/2, we were visiting friends at their summer house on Long Island Sound. I swam, sailed, played around the docks......and came up with the brilliant idea of gathering a bucket of escargot for dinner. So I took my sandbucket, rinsed it in the sound, and filled it to the brim with small snails. My mom and Aunt Jane were such good sports, they rounded up the garlic and some butter and we feasted on Long Island Escargots for dinner that evening. And we all survived! |

Nope, nor baseball or Chevrolet. :~) My mom always used to make apple pies, but apples were never my favorite fruit and I've never been a dessert person anyway.

I had a negative hot dog experience too - I was 11, sick with chicken pox so bad I had them *everywhere* - in my eyes, in my nostrils, down my throat, you name it. I almost died - ran an outrageous fever for days. Once I was feeling a bit better I ate a hotdog which I kept down for about two minutes. Never have I retched so badly in my life. I have never eaten another one since - can't even stand the smell of them. -L. |

We would often gather bucketsful of periwinkles from the rocks and take them to someone's mother who would boil them with some red pepper flakes. We'd sit on the seawall and fish them out of the shell with a straightened safety pin. What a feast! We also ate raw littleneck clams and learned to open them at an early age. I can't look at escargot now because compared to the periwinkles they are too big and snaky-looking. gloria p |

However, I think they stopped producing the creamed cottage cheese in the late 1990s due to the diet-conscious majority. :-) -- Wayne Boatwright __________________________________________________ Clinton excuse #15: Hey - I just do what the wife says |

Back in the early 80's I was working at a local hardware chain and there was a nice little Cape Verdean festival going on. Grabbed a nice kielbasa sandwich and a bottle of orange soda. A few hours later and I'm spewing out this orange colored puke. Not good. Was sick for a day or two on that one. So now I tend to avoid both. |

among random neurons and opined: >Do you have bad food memories from childhood (or otherwise) that stick >out in your mind? I won't go into the green tuna casserole that was a horrible staple of my childhood and still makes me queasy when I think of it, but I recall one dinner when I was around 7...my mother cooked liver until it was tough enough to beat someone to death with it. I remember one dinner where I absolutely rebelled and refused to eat it. My mother told me I would sit right there until I did. I sat there and sat there for what (in my memory) was half the night. She finally gave up, but wrapped it up and presented it to me the next morning for breakfast. I still wouldn't eat it. It showed up in my school lunch pail, which is when I finally got rid of it. When I got home, my mother asked me if I'd eaten the liver. I told her I'd thrown it away, which is when I learned that you can get spanked for telling the truth :-) Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd AAC(F)BV66.0748.CA "Most vigitaryans I iver see looked enough like their food to be classed as cannybals."

I don't think my parents realized how severely i'd been injured. I was eating some sort of hotdish with ring macaroni and I threw up all over my plate. All logic tells me that ring macaroni is no different from any other noodle but I cannot eat it at all. There were also the never ending battles concerning mushrooms, onions, and olive. I've gotten over the onion thing to a certain extent, I can eat them in certain circumstances, but never mushrooms or olives.
