The Things You Didn't Like When You Were Wee Thread

Anything you didn't like when you were wee - can be anything - food, music, films etc

I'll start off with history.

I absolutely hated it at secondary school.  In first year, all we got taught about was Egyptian irrigation systems, so I dropped it after S1.

Now, I find myself interested in most eras in history.

I still maintain that it's outrageous that most Scots know more about 1066 than they do their own past.

Food's the easy one - liver & kidney, cos when I was given it once as a wee boy I turned my piece of liver over and there was a great big white empty vein just lying there, on the surface. Not only couldn't eat it but it made me feel so sick I couldn't say what the problem was either. Haven't wanted it from then 'til now.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my original post.  I meant things you didn't like when you were wee but that you like now.

Oh don't get me wrong. I like that people have livers and kidneys 😊.

And your meaning was clear. But my thoughts went to one thing, then another, and finally settled on something that didn't meet the original brief! My fault for being daft, I kent well enough what it was meant to be.

Anyway, in another carriage on that train of thought was paté. I convinced myself that I didn't like it (cos of the above issue....see how I'd got myself there? Numpty.) and in my early 20s went round to some friends for a meal. They served up paté, I ate it cos I was a guest and it was the polite thing to do, and loved it. Went on a binge of eating all sorts of the stuff, the coarser the better.

Spicy stuff.  We never had it when I was wee, cos my dad doesn't like spoicy food.  Any time I got anything spicy, my mouth would feel like it was on fire.  I tauight myself to eat it going up the pepper scale on Asda ready meals 

Now I love Indians and Mexicans (to an extent - some of the spicier stuff would still blow my brain out!).
