My fav is all the people over the years who've tried to get me to taste their
mamma's or grandmamma's liver and onions. The common refrain is, "it doesn't
even taste like liver". Right....

I was just the opposite...I ate just about every meal with the zeal of a hungry
husband coming home from work...I am fond of calling myself a proud omnivor,
eating or at least trying everything that was deemed edible in my household as
a child...With the exception of oatmeal cereal and chicken liver, There are
very few items I don't enjoy, though I eat them in moderation...

food that looked unappealing to me, and definitely nothing that even faintly
had an unpleasant smell. So I never touched pigs' feet (they looked gross and
slimy). And having watched Mom clean chitlins, and been subjected to that
horrid smell, I *never* tried them either. As for oxtails, turkey neck,
hogshead cheese, blackeyed peas with gobs of fatback in them--I refused to
touch any of that food either. Nor would i touch cobblers, the fruit and syrup
in the cobbler making me shy away. So when the rest of my family was eating all
that down home food, I'd eat roast (with gravy, of course), fried chicken,
green beans, carrots, etc. Dessert for me was usually pound cake, egg custard
pie, or buttermilk chess pie.
And the time I came home and saw a slaughtered hog's head on the kitchen table?
Let's just say I had no part of the meal Mom cooked from that! Especially
because the meat had a rank smell as it was cooking. Mom said it was because
the pig was in rut when killed, which can make the meat taste different. Yuck!
To this day I've never eaten pigs' feet, oxtails, or chitlins. I do know love
greens, black-eyed peas, and certain cobblers (peach and milk cobbler).
