    When my 3 children made me breakfast in bed for “Mother’s Day”. They were ages 8 and 3 year old daughters, and my 4 year old son. Eggs had shells in them. Toast was made with butter and jelly before it went into the toaster. Coffee ☕️ with the spoon standing up in the cup. Also had at least 5 spoons of sugar. Chocolate milk was more dry than liquid. How could I say no!!! I was dying while I ate but, so grateful that they didn’t get burned or set the house on fire. They were so proud to bring it to me on a tray. They had also picked dandelions from backyard that they put in a sippy cup that my youngest daughter let them use for mommy’s breakfast. I still get shivers when I think about it to this day.

      I understand your awful flashbacks. My 8 year old daughter told me to stay in bed for breakfast on Mother's Day. I thought toast was coming. No. Dessicated coconut that had been in the cupboard for years mixed with sugar and water with raisins mixed in, plus a drink of milk. I'll never forget the horror of trying to eat it while she sat on the bed and watched. I could never eat coconut anymore after that day

      That was sweet that the kids tried to make a Mother's Day breakfast! Maybe you ought to have suggested to them not to do that again because it's too messy to eat in bed. In retrospect I never served my mom breakfast in bed on Mother's Day. Mostly because the dogs would eat it before she would.

    My grandmother (who was a amazing cook, and I'm a chef) once made a Turkey meatloaf after Thanksgiving. I took it down to the basement living room where I watched tv and stayed 75% of the time. I took 2 bites and the trashed it in the can down stairs. When I went back upstairs and she asked me how it was I said " it was great" ,because it was may grandmother cooking and she had a rule you eat everything on your plate no matter what. After that my grandmother looked at me and said " your lying it was fucking nasty as hell" and then told me to go make a sandwich because she knew I was still hungry lol

    As one of the lucky people to whom cilantro tastes like hand soap, I had the misfortune to stay with a friend who loved the stuff. When I told her how cilantro tastes to me, she decided to add cilantro to every meal, so I could "learn to love it". Every. Single. Meal! Why do some people take it such a personal affront when another person dislikes their favourite food/spice/seasoning? To this day I cannot bear the smell of cilantro and washing my hands with a bar of hand soap gives me flashbacks! When I left my friend's house she sent me off with a packed lunch for the road. With cilantro in everything she packed~

    So, I was in mascota, Jalisco in Mexico and I ordered a “carne blanco” taco; I waited for about five minutes, grabbed one from the basket and I bit into it ravenously. Instead of chicken “ carne blanco” is actually cow brain. I ended up with a mouth full of the most rubbery oddly flavored and textured meat ever, even worse than grilled liver. I then looked immediately at the sweet old Mexican man smiling at me. I gulped in down as neutral faced as possible and said. “Muchas gracias! Es muy muy bueno! I grinned waved and quickly grabbed the rest and walked towards my friends house. I actually went back and got regular tacos. They were amazing! Lol

    My great-aunt used to make the best spaghetti. However, when she was in her 90's she lost her sense of taste, and the last time she made spaghetti she couldn't taste the salt in it, and kept adding salt. And more salt. And even more salt. We didn't want to hurt her feelings so we ate it, but it was a sad dinner all around.

    You think that's bad, try microwave macaroni and cheese (the precooked TV dinner kind) or microwave lasagna. Like macaroni and cheese (this time the kind where you add water, then add the cheese after microwaving it) boiling over and fricking up your microwave's turntable, burned/blackened edges are unavoidable. To the point where, just like leading a herd of high school students in a nature walk, your chances are way higher of getting randomly struck by stray lightning on a sunny, cloudless day.

    I tried making a cabbage stir fry. It was simple enough, cabbage, onions, carrots, and bacon. The recipe called for 2-3 strips of bacon so I decided to cook it first. But while I was chopping the vegetables, my mom put the entire package of bacon into the pan and pulled them out when they were done. This left me with a ton of grease to cook with. I didn't want to waste it so I used it all to cook everything. It didn't taste too bad until it cooled off. It became a nasty, greasy mess that was impossible to choke down. I wound up with the worst stomachache I ever had in my life that lasted for a week. Afterwards, I couldn't even look at bacon for the longest time without feeling ill.
    Thanks for ruining bacon for me, mom!

    The first thing that comes to mind is my mother's friend's "spaghetti sauce". It consisted of ground beef, beef fat, and water. No tomatoes, spices, or anything else that might be considered a defining ingredient of spaghetti sauce. At first I didn't think that anybody would really just brown some ground beef in water and call it "spaghetti sauce", but when I tasted it, then I knew for sure that it was exactly what it looked like.

    One time when I was in middle school I was alone with my aunt and she tried to make me something nice for dinner. She knew I liked the chicken quesadillas from Taco Bell and so she made me something she called a "quesadilla burger" (this was before Applebee's started serving theirs.) I don't remember all of what was on it, but I think it was basically a burger with salsa on it. (I don't think it even had cheese, so it was kind of a misnomer.) I had a few bites, decided I didn't like it, and wouldn't eat any more. Fortunately she understood and had mercy on me, but I kind of feel bad about it now because she's a vegetarian and dislikes the smell of cooking ground beef, so it probably took some effort for her to get through making it. Still, I have a running joke with her to this day about how much I hated it and we always get a good laugh out of it. In fact, I think I'll tell her I watched this video and made this comment.

    MIL - knowing she was a bad cook and wanted to make amends - wanted to cook us lunch, spaghetti aglio e olio, one of the simplest pasta dishes you can get using the most basic of kitchen ingredients.
    We all knew it tasted funny, but she was adamant she followed a recipe.
    What she didn't say was she had no oil so thought it would okay to use water as a substitute. So instead of browning the garlic he just badly chopped it and threw it in.
    She had no chilli flakes but thought as tomato was the same colour she chopped one up and threw in.
    Then she thought she didn't need to use a salty, hard grated cheese to finish, and instead just crumbled some Cheddar cheese on top.
    We were there with our overcooked pasta in its raw garlic and bitter tomato water, with tangy cheddar on top. In the end we all gave up on it.

    And the food just ain't no good?
    I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed,
    And the chicken tastes like wood
    So you try to play it off like you think you can
    By saying that you're full
    And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
    He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull!"
    So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
    And you say that you already ate
    And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
    So you pile some more on your plate
    While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
    Of the moment that it's time to leave
    And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
    Into something that looks like cheese
    Oh so you say "That's it, I gotta leave this place
    I don't care what these people think,
    I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
    With this ugly food that stinks"
    So you bust out the door while it's still closed
    Still sick from the food you ate
    And then you run to the store for quick relief
    From a bottle of Kaopectate
    And then you call your friend two weeks later
    To see how he has been
    And he says, "I understand about the food,
    Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"

    When I was about 5 or 6, me, my father, his then gf and her niece went to her godmother's house.
    Godmother was very old... And she served what she called "pasta" for lunch.
    It was served in a tray. A baking tray. There was some weird liquid around it, not exactly water, some clumps of tomato sauce around it and other UFOs (unidentified floating objects) such as a very nasty looking cheese. There might have been eggplant too, but it was about 20 years ago, so things are foggy. The pasta was very soggy.
    I've always been a very good eater and I was taught to be very polite, and even today, it's very rare for me to dislike food or to feel disgusted by it.
    I took one good look at it and proclaimed "I don't want to eat that."
    I said it in such a way that there was no discussion about it, I wouldn't eat it.
    My father, gf and her niece ate it. Niece said that it was awful and that she wished she'd refused it.

My mom made it by putting kale,kidney beans,churico,and linguica. With orzo. So good!! The version we got at my sister's friends was green water with a wag of dough floating in it,and some minor traces of kale. I took two sips and claimed I didn't feel well. We went home and my dad stood in the kitchen and shouted,"WHAT WAS THAT?!" My mom said,"I don't know but I'm sad." I told her,"I don't know but I'm straving." We ordered some pizza.

    Rabbit. Well prepared, but very gamey--nasty gamey. A German couple had invited me to Christmas dinner. I did not want to offend, so I forced myself to eat the rabbit. It was a near superhuman effort. I failed to time my eating of the rabbit correctly, and so the hostess served me more--she was so proud of her rabbit. The rest of the meal was great.
    2 years later the couple invited my friends and me over for dinner. Since my friends enthusiastically accepted, I could not refuse. Yup, rabbit.

    I was at my buddy’s place to work on this school thing and his Mom was making dinner. She was an _amazing_ baker, she made donuts for the class for buddy’s birthday. So I was kind of excited. What we got was un-buttered spaghetti with refried beans.
    When I got home I did up a couple of TV dinners we had for when we were too lazy to actually make something. Over-breaded chicken and instant potatoes/gravy never tasted so good. 😂😂

    Friends in Tijuana invited us to diner. The chicken dish was so bad it nearly came back up. It had a brown sauce that I can’t even explain. My brother and I almost had to stop to throw up on our way back to San Diego. The boarder guard asked if we were ok. We told him Mexican food. He just laughed and let us go. I was sick for a couple of days.

    I had gone to a friend’s house and their mother had made us some fried rice.
    Don't get me wrong, the rice and veggies were tasty.
    What made it the “worst” was the main ingredient, which unfortunately was shrimp.
    I have a mild allergy to shrimp.
    My friend and her mother did not know because It never came up in conversation before.
    I wasn't going to let their effort at being hospitable go to waste, especially due to my own negligence on mentioning an allergen.
    So I cleared my plate and refused a second serving by saying the food was great and I'm full...silently mentally kicking myself, knowing that I am going to get annoying red rashes later. (mine fades away completely after two days or so...so while I was able to justify it in my head; I am highly aware of how reckless that was and
    I would NEVER encourage anyone to risk their own health just to save face, especially for those with severe reactions.)

    Shepherd's pie. I was invited by a very poor family. When I got there, the house smelled like a grammar school cafeteria and the kids were excited because their mom was making Shepherd's pie.
    It was absolutely disgusting! I filled up as much as possible on salad, then choked down about half of what I was given before putting down my fork and thanking my hostess.
    We played Monopoly for a while, then we had the dessert I had contributed. Then I hugged everybody and went home, was sick for three days.

    Maybe this has nothing to do with the subject , but I remember when my Great Grandmother bought a 🍉 watermelon I remember she had stored it near my bedroom , it looked normal that morning but after I returned home from school that afternoon the damn thing exploded and moved in my room leaving rotten stinking water and seeds all over ceiling and floor especially under my bed ...it changed how I like 🍉 watermelons.

    My father's mother was elderly and somewhat senile. Because she ran on automatic pilot 90% of the time she made dinner, because she couldn't remember no to.
    One night she reads the back of a bottle of Wishbone Catalina Salad Dressing and decide to make the recipe. Its Filet of Sole, slathered in hot Catalina salad dressing.
    It looked like Styrofoam covered in hydraulic fluid, and oh god, the smell of it.
    I told my father I wasn't going to eat it. He told me he'd rather die than not eat something his mother put on the table and finished his portion in like 3 bites. I had to sit at the table for two hours, eating that poor dead fish with Catalina salad dressing one molecule at a time.

    My wife when we first got together saw a recipe for a chicken brocolli casserole. She didnt know that you had to cook the rice/chicken/broccoli before assembly and baking.... oh man... it came out of the oven and we were like "dam this looks so good" and one bite of crunchy rice/broc mixed with cream of mushroom soup and raw chicken.
    We both looked at each other in horror, gagged, and then laughed for about 20 minutes before we got take out.

    School Mac and cheese, butternut squash and spoiled milk. The pasta tasted weird and the cheese tasted like it was old, moldy, and fake. The butternut squash was literally baby food. And the milk was spoiled. It was a while ago but I remember that I threw up that night.

    We have an older family friend who is a chef and doesn't have people often. She usually makes amazing food but one time she pulled a cheesecake out of the fridge. This cheesecake probably tasted amazing about 3 weeks ago but at that time it tasted like it was made from blue cheese. The friend never tasted it. I was about 9 years old and I didn't want to be rude so I ended up just spreading it around the plate when she wasn't looking.

    I had to eat this one meal at school every Friday back in elementary and I couldn't eat a single bite without gagging a bunch. The only reason I ever ate it was because I got in trouble if my mom caught me or figured out I didn't eat it. Even then I only ate a few bites because I took so long to eat each bite and gag and wash my mouth out between each bite and stuff. Then in like 5th/4th grade I went out of my way to get up really early so I could make myself a lunch every Friday so I wouldn't have to eat it. I honestly have no idea how my brother, who was much more picky than me, actually liked that horrid crap

    The Mother's Day meal I was invited to attend at a local restaurant. I ordered a special, off the menu, item, what I got tasted of burned sugar, it tasted and chewed like it was scraped off a condiment pan that was about to be tossed, and was repurposed. I realize I paid for my own item, but, I really should have called the waitress over, grabbed a fresh fork, and had her take a bite. It was phenomenally gross and unservable. I ate the chicken, but, that was about it.

    My mum's fried rice. It was made from brown rice, making it supposedly textured, but it was soft and tastes sour. Even the tuna inside was sour. I suspect that the rice has gone bad.
