Food Hell

Another thing I've not tried since childhood, is semolina pudding, or frog spawn as we used to call it in primary school.

We used to have an ogre for a school dinner supervisor, made such a (bad) impression on me, that I can still recall her name, Mrs Chandler, and a very large woman.

If you didn't leave your plate clean of food, no matter if you liked it or not, she would (no kidding) mash your face down into the plate until you did. For whatever reason, one day I couldn't finish the frog spawn so duly got my face mashed into the dish.

Things were very different in the early sixties.

you're thinking of tapioca, semolina is more like porridge.
 
I eat almost anything but no-nos for me are courgette, aubergine, mouldy cheese and gamey meat (eg veal, venison etc)

Never tried aubergine but they don't look appetising to me, courgette is definitely a nope - my family love them, my dad grows them but I really don't see the appeal myself.
 
Japanese serves cabbage sliced REALLY thin with their deep fried meals, it's really good as a pallette cleanser.

You have never tried aubergine? I had it last night! Although i would guarantee it would be different than how you would have it.
 
Cabbages seem to be different these days. When I was a kid the cabbage my mum served I used to hate - they were dark green and leafy with a bitter taste, but these days in supermarkets you can only buy Savoy which I love. I also like white cabbage grated on salad

I think they are. I'm sure I've read something how they have cultivated the bitterness out of them over the years
