Things you won't eat or drink because.......

[Rams52]

Lived in QLD when young, one day 30degrees or so, high humidity as usual, in the car with the family. Ate a Banana, then the drive was windy and hilly for a LOOOOONG time. Puked, due to the circumstances, and haven't touched one since then. Only thing I won't eat so far...

As a kid I loved soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers for breakfast but when I was about 7 I was given one that was on the turn and tried to tell my mother. She assumed, incorrectly, that I was trying to start a picky eating phase and made me sit at the table and eat it. Got about halfway through before I was sick. From that day I refused to eat eggs...they were ok if an ingredient in something like a cake where I couldn't see it as an egg but I wouldn't touch them fried, boiled, scrambled, omlettes etc.

Eventually forced myself to start eating them again when I decided to go vegetarian for about 5 years in the mid 1990's. Still can't eat them if they are runny as in an omlette or some versions of scrambled.

...also prunes and custard, together or seperately, after being made to eat them at school on a 'you will sit there until you eat them' basis accompanied by a clip round the ear...teachers used to be allowed to do that, especially if they dressed as penguins

Toast soldiers? Is this some clever name intended to get kids to eat food or did some strapping six footer step in each morning to make your eggs a little bit more interesting?

Tuna, the most inedible food in the history of the world

Haven't you heard of them before?...no idea how they got the name but I think they've been called soldiers for generations in the UK...I'm not sure a six foot soldier would have impressed me much at 7 but now hmmmmm...toast?...six footer?...toast?....six footer?

...and I just found this article debating the origins etc http://www.foodlovers.co.nz/boiled-eggs ... diers.html

Mum I am the same with Southern Comfort

It was one of the drinks of choice to get drunk while at high school and I have such bad memories of being sick off that horrible stuff that I would never touch it again

It would be so much easier to be a teenager today with all the alco-pops!

I swear everyone has a Southern Comfort story - "yep, drank it till I had a big night when I was 16/18/21 and never touched the stuff again".

Add me to the Soco list.
I got a bottle for my 18th birthday, just after I finished school. That bottle ended up being downed in Paralowie at NYE that month.
I was off my face and can barely remember anything that happened on the night - except I remember escorting my cousin home. She left the party cos she was pissed off at me.
The next day was a nightmare. I could barely hold my stomach together as my father in law drove me and my Mrs DW home.
Never been able to drink it since.

Yep put me down on the Southern Comfort list.
I think if there was a poll attached to this then Southern Comfort would romp it in. Duelling banjos, four eyed cousins, squeal like a pig and all. Yech is there nothing attached to that name that won't summon a twisted image of some sort?
My story was from the SA vs Vic State game in 1989 at the MCG. I reckon there were some worried people around me in the back of the bus as I struggled to open yet another of those little plastic bags, until thankfully the toilet became vacated and I had something to hurl at that didn't have a body, two arms and a head with two wide open frightened eyes that seemed to be pleading with me to face toward another one of those body/head things. It was pretty blurry, but I do remember that the body/head/wide eyed things didn't really want me to sit next to them.

That doesn't look like a soldier!
What it looks like is a slice of toast with unmelted butter that has been cut too many times.
Don't tell me you eat toast with unmelted butter?!! Don't say it's so JAS!

[A Mum]

My grandmother always called toast in that way to dip into eggs soldiers.
Hence the rest of the family now does,
Hence anyone outside of the family wonder wtf are they talking about

So gave me a smile when I read you wrote 'soldiers' JAS

[therisingblues]

Tuna, the most inedible food in the history of the world

Eh? The stuff just about leaps on to the toast, slips under the cheese and begs to be put under the griller, all on its own!

[Pottsy]

Soldiers, only with boiled eggs. Melted butter makes the soldiers unable to be properly dipped into the yolk, they've got to be upright little soldiers...

Captain Morgans Dark Rum. First puke on grog, still can't take the idea of it.

Kraft cheddar. Yeesh.

Unprocessed offal. Pate - yum, if it's made with care. A liver....yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh.

haha...like the article says...probably got their name either from being lined up on the plate like soldiers on parade or from the humpty-dumpty nursery rhyme but that's what everyone's always called them.

Although that's not my photo I sometimes have toast with melted butter but sometimes I like cold toast with unmelted butter just depends on my mood at the time. But when it comes to soldiers I agree with Pottsy...can't have soggy soldiers...kids have been known to riot over it

Strewth, there appears to be a whole sub-culture to go with this.
Unmelted butter is just going too far IMO. What sort of mood would that be anyway? Sounds like you'd be pretty pissed off to want unmelted butter on cold toast. I could never imagine myself waking up in the morning and saying "**** it I'm in a shitty mood! I want unmelted butter on cold toast!"

Do you eat it cold as well?

Not a 'shitty' mood at all theri. Sometimes I fancy hot toast and sometimes cold...each to there own. I actually prefer unmelted butter if I'm having marmalde on it as well.

Pretty sure I don't want to eat cat meat again - at least I think it was cat meat, it wasn't like anything else I've eaten before and there's plenty of stray cats getting about.

I could probably pass on the boiled sheep head too.

Powerade because it sponsors the AFL.
