Out of curiosity, what were your eating habits like when you were a child?

I would happily eat shrimp, clam chowder, and deep-fried liver, but turned up my noise at tuna noodle casserole, and macaroni and cheese. I didn't much care for cheese as a kid, and didn't like anything where it was a central ingredient. I finally acquired a taste for cheese when I was in college.

It was macaroni and cheese (my mother made a really good baked kind -- I actually liked the fake Kraft stuff, which I sometimes got for lunch) that precipitated the applesauce-on-the-head incident. Have I told you that story? I can't remember.
