Guess what I'm eating!

Oooh...I love liver now as well; would gag and want to hurl when I was a kid even smelling it. I like just about everything now except, hominy, okra and lima beans... I remember my mom forcing us to eat our veggies and swore that I'd never do that to my children; I make them take a bite of it but won't make them eat it all. Eventually, from doing this, they have grown to eat their veggies and enjoy them. By the way, I can't get a PM to you; been trying to respond to your latest but nothing happens. Can you PM me you're email address until they fix the problem..? Thanks ;)

I love to eat and my mom was a wonderful cook.I would come home from school, and My mom was there waiting for me and she always had something cooking on the stove that smelled so yummy..I cannot think of anything except one time.I got up in the morning and my Mom was scrambling eggs,so she told me to sit down and eat,so i did...That was the best eggs,I just loved them,afterward my Mom told me that was brains n eggs..the thought of it digusted me,so i have never eaten any since,but a long time ago people did eat that,but to me (never) Lol..I love liver ans onions smother fried and i also like braunschweiger,there is not to much i don,t like.Sounds like im a fat person huh? but i am 5'7 weigh 130,so I am not fat,just in case you might wonder(smile) Ellen

I have the cravings for sweet. I need to have them after every meal and if I didnt get I get very desperate. Even my mom has the same thing and I suppose my children will also have this kind of liking.

I love liver and always have. Most people think that I am just plain weird. I cannot think of anything that I hated to eat as a child. We didnt really have alot of choices as far as food goes. We raised our own meat, veggies and fruit. That is what we had to eat. Except in hunting season. Then we also had deer and squirrel to eat. I love most foods.

When I was growing up I hated it when my mom made liver. Yuck! But we always had to eat it. I would drown mine in ketchup to get it down. Now, as an adult, I really enjoy liver the way my mom made it...even plain! lol... Yum... Braunschweiger. I've always liked that for some strange reason. My mom used to make this Braunschweiger dip that was SOOOO good! I'll have to ask her for that now. It's making me hungry for that. I couldn't stand Broccoli when I was growing up. Now I love it! We don't eat it as often as we would like to due to the cost. It's gone up so much over these past couple of years. I make my children eat/try to eat all kinds of food....even peas. I could never - and still can't - stand peas. But my husband and two older boys like them, so for us to get the toddlers to eat them, I will *happily* choke them down. HA! Usually doesn't fool them though! I want my children to try everything possible, and to NOT be restricted on what they eat or like because of what *I* eat or like. I would like them to develop their own tastes of things, and to be as healthy as possible. If that means me making sacrificies by eating things that make me gag (peas), then so be it. It's worked for my two older boys because they love them now. Hopefully it will work for the toddlers as well one day.

I used to hate red beets and now I like them a lot. I used to sit at the table when I was younger and stick them in my pockets and when I was done I would go to the bathroom and flush them down the toilet. My mom couldn't believe it the other day when she asked me if I still hate red beets and when I told her I actually love them now she couldn't believe it. I love liver. My son does not. He is married and has three children and we were talking about liver. He looked at me and informed me that if I ever didn't want him to be here all I had to do was cook liver. He can not even stand the smell of it in the house. When he told me that it was in a joking way but I knew that he meant it because he can not stand the smell.

From the term 'Braunschweiger' I understand you're German. Am I right? I'm Indian. Whenever I sit down to Non-Veg meals, I too hate eating the liver, though my fellow citizens seem to crave it! When I was in school(ages ago), I distinctly remember buying tinned sardines just to taste it and see why Europeans and US people buy such items. Yukhhhhh! I couldn't stand the taste of it. I almost threw up! But then, I still don't know how to consume a can of 'tinned sardines'! Can you tell me how?

We grew up eating liver and gizzards and kidneys. My grandmother used to make kidneys and chicken livers all the time,also liver and onions. My son does like braunschweiger,but he doesn't eat any of those other items I mentioned. I never forced him to eat anything like that.

is braunshweiger just a type of liverworst? they sound like the same thing lol :)

Wow I did not realize that when our body is craving liver that it meant anything that is amazing, I know I love it a lot but do not eat it all the time but when I go without it for awhile I must buy some more of it. I used to hate eating pumpkin, when I was young but now I love my pumpkin. No I do not make my children eat something that I don't like as I remember when I was young that we had to eat what was put in front of me.

I've never had braunschweiger but I love liverwurst which is the non fancy name of pate de foi gras. When I was little mum would cook liver. We call it lamb's fry. You had to soak the liver in salted water for several hours...these days it's not necessary. My Mum always overcooked the slices of liver so they dried out but she also cooked onion and bacon then made this amazingly thick and rich gravy with the pan juices. It would be served with mashed potato and peas. I still cook it and people are amazed because it's considered old fashioned. I hated spinach, beans, cabbage, cauliflour, swede, turnip, carrots and brussel sprouts. I don't eat spinach much because you have to have it fresh. I've discovered that small young carrots are brussel sprouts are yummy but the older stuff is tough. I still hate turnip and swede and parsnip as well. I also hated tripe (gag) and cannot even bear to look at it but luckily I rarely see it. We always had potato with out meals and we absolutely had to eat everything even if we were driven to tears by gagging (it was so demeaning)I loved potato so I would mix the stuff I hated with it to make it go down. Sometimes there was too much yucky stuff and not enough potato. To this day I have to clean my plate. How weird is that?

First of all, I love Braunschweiger, and always did as a kid too!! I like chicken livers too!! When I was younger, I remember one time we got chinese food take out (very unusual as my mom cooked every day) and I must have had a stomach bug or something because it made me violently ill. I didn't eat chinese food for years and years because of that! Now as an adult, I absolutely love chinese food!! I let my kids make their own choices when it comes to food. I have one picky eater, and one that will try everything at least once. They are 16 and 21 now, so they pretty much make their own decisions (very different food choices by the way). I do make both of them take vitamins everyday in case they're missing important nutrients in their daily choices!! :)

Yuk yuk yuk! I think I dislike liver simply by hearing the name called / seeing it written: LIVER eeeew. Sorry, I don't want to put you off, maybe I will like it when I'm older, but right now I hate the sound of it. I used to be very very finicky about food as a child. I suppose one thing I've grown from hating to loving is mushrooms (cooked)! It's weird how one's tastebuds change drastically - I used to eat fish, but can't bare that now. Again, I think I'll grow to like fish, but it really doesn't appeal to me! The only real meat I like is chicken! Interesting discussion.

XDDDDDDDD i went too 3

What is Braunschweiger? I never heard before!
