meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf

I hate meatloaf. Those were the words of Randy Parker, not mine. In fact, I don't mind a good meatloaf. That being said, school meatloaf was never good. In fact, I'm not so sure that it was ever meat. Anyway, meatloaf is not on my list of foods I hate. But I do have a list. Here are some of the items that made the list when I was a kid (and still make the list to this day):
  1. Lamb - I hate the taste of lamb. I know so many people who love it. It makes me want to vomit. No thanks. Lambchops should be singing songs that never end, not being eaten.
  2. Squash - I am not sure what it is about squash, but I hate it. It could be the consistency, but it may also just be the flavor. It's likely a combination of the two.
  3. Brocolli Casserole - My mother used to always make it. Yuck!
  4. Corned Beef and Cabbage - I love corned beef but hate cabbage!!! Cabbage smells bad, looks bad, feels bad, and tastes bad.
  5. Liver - Not a fan.

Now on to some foods that I loved as a kid (and though they're not necessarily my current favorites, I still like them):

  1. Salmon Pea Wiggle - I believe some people call it Salmon a la King or something like that. It's a creamy gravy-type thing with salmon and peas and is served over crackers.
  2. American Chop Suey - A macaroni dish that is everything a kid loves about food.
  3. Hot Dogs - I ate hot dogs for most meals.
  4. Fluffanutters - I can't believe some schools have banned these.
  5. Pizza - I mean, what kid doesn't love pizza.

There are some things that I hated as a kid, but enjoy now as an adult. One such example of this is sweet potato. I also like green beans more as an adult. Still, I don't mind a good meatloaf. I'm just happy that I'm past the point in life where I have to eat in a school cafeteria.

You can't believe that fluffanutters have been banned? They are life threatening to a child with peanut allergies...and you know how I feel about that. I never heard of a life-threatening meatloaf, lol.

They're fine. Moderation is the key to everything.
