Most hated meal growing up.

I have to say that my mother was not the best of cooks. She would take an entire chicken breast, and slather it with spaghetti sauce from a jar and top it with mozzarella cheese. No tenderizing of the chicken whatsoever. But that's not the one I never ate again. She used to make............drum roll please................salmon loaf. Yep. Salmon loaf. And it always came out dry. Somehow I was able to get it down, but my younger brother would struggle at the table and would gag as my parents made him eat it. It truly is a disgusting dish. And incredulously, I once went to visit my father's brother and his family at their house and his wife made us the dreaded salmon loaf. And it came out just like my mom's. It's horrid. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I grew to detest spinach. Mum used to serve it for almost every meal while it was in season, it was like eating a wet book.

The one where "eat all your greens young man" was said , lol.
Or "don't leave a scrap on that plate or else" , lol.
To force me to eat something I didn't fancy.

Oh man, couldn't agree more with you, ish.
My mum still eats that stuff though.

My wife’s grandmother used to dish up chocolate Angel Delight with tinned mandarins, not quite yuck but it was suffered with grace. I will never forget the day we saw her making a sandwich for my wife’s Uncle. They had a family cobblers business, so he worked there. She was cutting cheese off a block which was rather large and mouldy. Cheese complete with mould went in the sandwich. We told her Uncle who explained he knew and that everyday he took the sandwiches, and took them home for the bin and ate the ones his wife gave him.

Mould on cheese wise isn’t an issue, apart from eating it, I’d rather not do that. When I was a lot younger I worked for Sainsbury’s, this is mid to late 80’s. If say we had mouldy cheese where the air may of got through the vacuum pack or it was just older or out of date we had a solution. We would simply open it up, cut off the mould and re wrap it. Common practice back then. The other thing would be the reprising of out of date items. Labels were fairly easily peeled off and then they would be re priced with a new expiry date. We often had a whole box to do that with. This would also happen after Christmas. Left over gammon joints would be unwrapped and put through the slicer. Gammon steaks were more per pound than gammon joints so a healthy profit to be had.

I had forgotten that, tinned fruit, usually fruit cocktail, along with Carnation milk.

Give that to a child nowadays and they would be on the phone to Esther Rantzen.
