Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Food you won't eat as an adultAs a wee-er Witch I was regularly force-fed (and I mean force-fed) stew. Not exactly beaten with a hot poker, I know, but at the time I dreaded coming home from school on a Tuesday. Something about the big chunks of meat combined with the soggy onion and runny gravy (my mum treated Bisto like it was worth it's weight in gold). It made me want to heave (I know, pathetic).
I left home nearly 20 years ago but can proudly say I've never eaten stew since. Not even disguised as "goulash". Childish but hey, I take my victories where I can!
So what did your parents slap down in front of you with the dreaded words "You'll sit there til you eat the lot"? And do you avoid it to this day? Or are you a parent now inflicting good healthy food on reluctant kids and gritting your teeth when your mum smiles smugly and says "What goes around comes around"?
