""Liver and onions. My mother liked it and made it, but no matter how she made it, I couldn't get past the smell and texture of it - and I still can't. My husband's family ate it a lot when he was growing up, and thank goodness he doesn't want it now. Any animal organ meats I cannot do, because I know the function of those organs (liver and kidney), so there's just no way for me." - Myiiadru2"
""Foam. Just wrong on every level. But the worst ever was the '70s, when people would eat aspic, AKA meat jelly." - Former_Balance8473"
""Wine coolers and spritzers in the late '80s and early '90s. F*cking everywhere. I'll never forget that commercial of Bruce Willis singing 'Seagrams, golden wine cooooolers. It's wet and it's DRY!'" - ProtectionAdvanced"
""I recall a brief time in the early '90s when balsamic vinegar was put on everything." - Rich-Air-5287"
People over 45 recall several food trends that provoked strong negative reactions. Common examples include liver and onions and other organ meats, rejected for smell, texture, and associations with organ function. Aspic and foam-based dishes drew disgust for their jelly-like or frothy textures. Wine coolers and spritzers dominated beverage culture in the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming ubiquitous. Balsamic vinegar experienced a phase of overuse, being applied to many dishes in the early 1990s. Memories of commercials and family traditions often make these trends particularly memorable.
