What are some of the foods you once ate, but no longer eat?

I'll go first. Squirrel, frog legs, and field corn, but I never ate chitiins. Maybe there are may be others.

You go next.

THFers ask how I come up with the great threads I post on this forum. I heard a bullfrog in my back yard pond. It reminded me of a time we were cleaning some specks on my pier. A bullfrog was looking right at croaking. The friend tossed a piece of fish and said shut up frog. The frog stuck out its tongue and caught the morsel in the air. I love to hear them croak. The farmer across the road invited me to help myself to his field corn. We call them roasting ears when I was growing. Didn't care for them.

All as a kid, never again...

Hamburger helper, I can’t stand that trash to this day

Boiled spinach, I can’t stand that trash either

We eat just about anything else. I absolutely will not eat either of those

Cabbage and lamb, since my mom died.
Giblet gravy, my wife refuses to make it. Mom made the best.

Red beats.

Chitlin’s. Tried them twice just to verify I despise them. Will never do again

Kraft Mac & Cheese (box), prefer homemade now.

Hamburger Helper

squirrel.

and fudge. I was literally force fed homemade fudge from ages 0 to about 15. To this day I HATE fudge.

If I did not eat and appreciate my grandmother's fudge, my father would yell at me and make me feel like a pos.

McDonald’s

Fresh cut mountain oysters. We cut em, cooked em, and ate them. Usually in a breakfast course with gravy.

Sweetbread and beets

It is kind of odd, some things you hated (I guess mostly childhood) and never wanted again

I see Beats made the list from a few guys.

I didn’t have them until later in life, maybe early 30’s. I like them, I’ve bought them pickled several times actually

Don’t drink milk anymore. Loved it as a kid and teenager

I liked pickled beets as a kid, we still eat them occasionally. But the brand does have some degree of acceptance or not, I prefer the bottle version from Delmonte

Same here. Use canned milk for cooking.

Love them. I worked on a Ranch for about 3 years,..loved the early spring.

Liver. I was forced to eat it twice a year since we had calves butchered for meat. We got enough for two meals per year on our halves. I hated it so much I refused to even bait a trotline with liver after that.

Fried bluegills, bullheads aka mud cats, and gar balls.

I’ll bite, what’s gar balls?

I used to drink a gallon of milk a day when I was a kid. I don’t drink it anymore either. My boys drink a gallon a day between the two of them but they’re still growing.

I drank fresh milk with all the cream trying to gain weight in high school. I stayed skinny until my junior year. I was working in a machine shop my junior summer and started lifting with the guys I worked with after quitting time. After working out I’d drink a 12 pack of Busch tall boys. That finally put the weight on me. I gained 30 pounds of muscle that summer. Busch tall boys are better than steroids. I don’t drink those anymore either.

You can google it but its basically a gar croquette. You boil the gar and mix it with eggs, crumbs, and onions,then fry it. I'm busy watching Chuck Norris now. Someone please look it up.

I could tell you but they might kick me out of here.

Caught a break. Here you go.

When I was young we use to eat Jitrnice (form of Czech Sausage) all the time. The thought I eating it today gives me the shivers. Until about eight years old I ate Ketchup on everything, I cant stand the sight taste or smell of it anymore.
