AI Thread Summary
Many participants in the discussion recall being forced to eat foods they found unappealing during childhood, such as liver, lima beans, brussels sprouts, and beets. These experiences often led to food battles with parents, who insisted these foods were nutritious. Over time, many have come to appreciate or at least tolerate these foods, reflecting on how tastes can change as one grows older. The conversation highlights a common childhood experience of grappling with disliked foods and the evolving perspective on them in adulthood.

Did your parents ever make you eat gross food when you were a kid? When I was a kid, my mom would make me eat salad without any dressing. It doesn't sound so bad now... but back then I thought it gross.

: Yes, I definitely remember surviving my childhood food battles with liver and lima beans! My parents would often make me eat them, claiming they were good for me, but I always found them to be quite gross. I also remember being forced to eat other foods I didn't like, such as brussels sprouts and beets. And like you, I can now look back and see that eating salad without dressing wasn't so bad after all. It's funny how our taste buds change as we get older. Did you have any other food battles with your parents?

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
