Verity -I am too old to remember this!
No, actually as a child I did not like food at all -things changed for me when I got married.
Things changed again for me when I hit about 55 and started to put on weight for the first time in my life.
My favourite food as a child was milk, and I got into trouble at almost every meal time as I always had milk before a meal, and got into trouble for not eating the meal -mostly i did not like the food, and I still cannot eat Kohl Rabi as that is one my mother made and I was almost sick when I had to eat it.
