Foods you loved as a kid, but can't stand today
I used to just love fried corned beef hash, so a few years back I thought I'd treat myself to a can of the stuff. Stuff looked and smelled too much like catfood for me to even consider sampling it again.

Anybody else completely turned off by a food that they were fond of as a child?

1. Candy in general
I mean, I like it, just not like crack.

Not that I know what liking crack is like.

Nevermind.

6. Spaghetti-O's are good with the following:
A pound of lean ground beef, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, salt, pepper, and a little garlic. Get all of that going and then shred cheddar cheese over it. Coveer and melt.

Honest.

3. Another vote for Spaghetti-Os here.
Why I ever thought that was good is beyond me.

As for corned beef hash - I liked that well into my twenties. Now? I won't touch the stuff.

20. I like Marie Callender's pot pies
But they must have something like 105% of your recommended daily allowance of cholesterol...

21. Got sick on pork from a cafeteria once
Couldn't eat any pork products for a very long time. But I loves my breakfast sausage, oh yes I do, and fell off the wagon. :9
