On a very rare occasion, our mom would purchase sweetened cereal. Captain Crunch was my very favorite. If our grandparents happened to be visiting, they insisted on me drinking the sugary cereal milk. It was absolutely disgusting.
Luckily, I was a stubborn child and I’d camp out at the table and wait it out.
In my growing up house, I was made to sit at the table until I finished my plate or until bedtime - which ever came first. I stayed until bed time when Tater Tot Hot-dish was put on my plate. To some, it’s a Midwest staple, I couldn’t get past the way it tasted or made me feel when eating it.
Btw, that “gravy train” lunch was beyond hideous! I still remember the smell. I’m pretty sure I pocketed my lunch money that day.
