Reminds me of my childhood. Ever since I could remember, if we had
soup it was Campbell's. Then we went to Great-Grandma's house for
dinner. She served chicken soup she had made herself, with fresh meat
and vegetables, finished with lots of parsley. I thought: "What the
hell is this?" Where was all the sodium? How come the vegetables
tasted like vegetables? Why that strange herby flavor? Clearly Great-
Grandma knew nothing about making chicken soup.

I had a BIL actually try my home-made chocolate pudding and declare he
couldn't eat it. He had always eaten the prepared stuff, and home-made
just didn't taste like what he thought pudding should be.

My sister had a similar problem with a neighbor's kids. They'd been
raised by their trailer trash momma on processed chicken products
(nuggets, tenders, etc), so they'd turn their noses up at chicken "on
the bone". They (and their momma) thought that was icky.

Ah! She's bred the perfect consumers!
They won't even eat food! They only eat
nutritive substance made by machines.
They probably enjoy watching televised
sports, too.

Reminds me of the kids I met who couldn't/wouldn't eat the crust off of
regular old white bread. Their mother's cut it off for them so they
imagined/decided it tasted different/bad.

I'm quite sure all of them came to a bad end.

I used to eat the crust first to "get it over with." I think the problem
there is like one quoted chef said....when making sandwiches, spread the
spread right out to the edges of the bread and not just the inside part. In
my case, the crust was just crust and had nothing on it.
