#1: What did you eat as a child that you can't stand now as an adult?

Challenge Post #1. Have no idea what that mean? See post below.

As a children we all eat strange things: dirt, sand, scabs, grass, flowers and possibly glue. I was a very strange child, as you can probably tell from the fact that I am still strange now. I am currently sitting in a dorm lounge watching the rain fall with plans to read Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo after I am done blogging.

Of course I ate natural, edible things as a child: such as macaroni and cheese, burgers, hot dogs, and cupcakes and brownies. As an adult, or close to it...I am glad my palate has become a tad more sophisticated. I now love to try food from other cultures.

Here is my list:
   Things that I ate as a child that I can't stand as an adult: (with explanations)

1. Frozen Brussel Sprouts
1. To me these were the sh**. Little balls of frozen lettuce! I used to sneak them from the freezer and eat them when my mom wasn't looking. I often requested them as a vegetable for the family dinner that night. I even got my sister hooked. My grandmother knew that I liked them and would give me some every time I visited her house. The would take me forever to eat; I would sometimes just put them in my mouth and waltz around like a small chipmunk up to no good or I would sit and peel layer by layer off until I had just the insides and then pop them in my mouth and go scrounging around for more. I think I have had some wrongly cooked brussel sprouts in my childhood years so I think I just gave up, or maybe my parents stopped buying them.
2. Marshmallows
1. Gooey, little sticky white balls of sugar. These were the best; especially when it came to Peeps. My mother taught me how to blow them up in the microwave. I used to eat them plain like no ones business. Now I think they are the most disgusting things on the face of the planet. I will however eat A s'more in honor of summer. 
3. Fish/Crab Legs
1. My family used to order Market Day all the time. There was always this white fish with seasoning that my mom would order and I would eat it up. My family also splurged on crab legs and sat around the dinner table eating them and dipping them in butter. I think what changed this is that my grandfather went to Alaska and brought back a salmon. I saw them skin it, including the fun eyes; and was forced to eat the nasty dry pink gross texture stuff. It also smelled HORRIFIC. I don't eat any kind of seafood; I think it is gross, above land creatures for me please.
4. Capri Sun or any other fake juice
1. Sugar flavored liquid. Gross. Hawaiian Punch, Sunny D. All got me sick. Enough said.
5. Little Debbie Snacks
1. Eat this and McDonalds if you want your body to not decompose. 
6. Pepperoni
1. Greasy little meat discs tossed upon pizza. Why do you have to ruin my pizza, pepperoni?
7. TV Dinners
1. We only got these as kids when my parents went out on date night and the babysitter had to feed us. I loved them; now I think they are a waste of money and I know that there are other ways to get nutrition. For example: eating cardboard, chewing on my own arm, licking tree bark, freshly cooked squirrel meat. 
8. Macaroni Salad
1. I was the pasta queen and carbs were my playground. Now I think that macaroni salad is gross. Unless I make it, and make it with things that I like to eat. 
9. Miracle Whip
1. Stop trying to be mayo. You're not mayo. You don't even taste good. You call yourself whip salad dressing on generic packages; who would put you on a salad? You're not as thin or as skinny as actual salad dressing. Sorry no love.
