I ate brussel sprouts as a kid but not now! My kids eat most things but don't like brussel sprouts either.

Here is a Joke, "what's the differance between between snot and broccoli?"
"Kids won't eat broccoli"

yummy lol

liver and onions looked like a cow's brain to me as a child,so I wouldn't eat it and still won't

 

[One day at a time]

Oh yeah, liver and onions...my mom's favorite...I could handle the smell of it and then thought I would take a bite....BIG MISTAKE! Yuck! (at least to me!) I think of that everytime I smell it or see it on a menu.

Anyone ever eat kippers? My sister and I would eat a can of them....love them! But my kids just think that they stink!!

 

[thriftyEvie]

[One day at a time]

smoked herring that come in a little can like sardines. They are small pieces of fish...I don't know...I just like them....strange I know!!

 

[thriftyEvie]

yuck, my dad used to eat them fresh out of the can

 

[One day at a time]

I know it is strange but good (at least to me!) My mom used to eat pickled herring--now that I thought was gross!!


What about Razzles---anyone ever get those?

before we had highlights for hair, remember spray Sun In? You sprayed it on your dry hair,then went out in the sun and it lightened it

my girls would use that when it first came out!

What about four square?

 

[thriftyEvie]

what is four square?

 

[One day at a time]

It's played outside at recess. You have a square...drawn with chalk...and a ball. One person stands in each square and you bounce the ball back and forth between the squares. If it double bounces...you are out. If it bounces out and you can't get to it your out. And so on....you keep playing until no one is left. Oh I should say that the squares are numbered so if one person gets out...you move up to the next number and the extra person can come in (if you have more than just the 4). It's a fun game!
