The mother of all cruel kitchen casualties

Kerry's picture

When I was little, my mother poured liquid soap in my mouth for using the word "pee" to describe my need to go to the bathroom.  Never again did  I use that term.  Since then, I have been facinated by what can and cannot go in a child's mouth from the kitchen.

Baker's chocolate, for instance, is a great cruel teasing tool for punishment, as a child can expect one taste, but get something totally unexpected, in return.

Lard was another visual that looked white and yummy, but in reality was nothing but pure greasy fat in a big vat.

Are there other nasty kitchen creations that were used to torment cretins of the childish kind?     (yep, this sick-pup wants to know!)

Wanna watch me lose my lunch?

What's that?

The first picture looks like medieval moose droppings, while the second make me think of Hanibal Lecter's liver, without a nice Chianti.

Gag first, then release!

I used to get told it was steak!  Liver, baby.   Like a kid doesn't know the smell of liver?  Isn't that an instinct of the stinky kind we're born with?

There's not enough alcohol in the world to cleanse my memory of that taste disaster!

Love the wording here.

 

As for liver, we used to have it pretty often when I was a kid... but most of the time we had it w/ bacon. I guess I got used to it.
