Worst meal you ever ate multiple times?

Chop suey.

I was raised ( by my German grandmother ) to eat what was served and be grateful for it. Doesn’t mean you have to ask for “seconds” but; be gracious and appreciative.

While dating my now-wife she made Chop Suey a number of times.
I always ate it.
I always hated it.

The first week we were married, she made it again.
Only then did I tell her, as gently as possible, that I really really dislike that dish. She has made it since but I’m not expected to partake. LOL

Never in my life would I eat something that I did not like.I don’t care who’s feelings get hurt.

Mom used to make liver periodically. Between me and my sisters, an entire bottle of ketchup would be used to mask the taste.

Sounds exactly like my youth. Fried liver every other week, and there wasn't a ketchup bottle big enough to get my sister and I through a meal of it. Dad told us two different things, neither of which worked: "You're not leaving the table until you finish that liver", and "If you don't eat it tonight, you'll see it tomorrow night". Awful stuff, and Mom was a good cook.


I was going to say the worst thing I'd ever had to eat (as an adult) was spaghetti MRE's, but then I remembered my USAF aircrew survival training, which we did somewhere out in the mesquite scrub northwest of San Antonio toward Canyon Lake.
We called it "possum on the half-shell", and what it was was an armadillo we split open, gutted, and then roasted in its hide over a fire. I hoped I'd never crash anywhere near where armadillos lived, and spaghetti MRE's were like prime rib in comparison.

Not respecting someone's taste buds and palate is a serious breach of etiquette and show a total lack of manners and considerateness.
Two stories I got from a cousin:
He remembers a kid in school, his parents forced him to eat something he didn't like. That cost them a week of hospital bills.
Another time he was at an overnight camp. Dinner was canned spaghetti, the kids all complained it tasted "funny". Then starting about 1AM........
