My parents did chastise me, but I was hardheaded as hell! I think I hated spinach so much, I actually puked once.
Can eat it these days tho. Same for a lot of things, I was mostly exaggerating to make a point. I don't hate mayo, I just think it's utterly pointless.
Still don't enjoy seafood though. Tuna is in that elusive Jack Johnson/Family Guy/Papyrus font category of horribleness.
