The Cooking Challenge - Week 6 - Ingredient You Disliked as a Child

[Bubbles1983]

So for something I disliked as a child it's either sprouts or gammon. I don't think there's any recipe that can make sprouts palatable so gammon it is. 
I have seen a suggestion to cook it in mango chutney (which I love) so going to give that a go.

Good luck! I never liked bananas as a kid (and still don't). I also hated/hate blueberries, but there's no way I can work with them. Ever! So I'll probably make something with bananas.

How about Banoffee Pie?  Mmmmmmmm!

Hmm...maybe. My problem with bananas is that I hate soft fruit and bananas tend to be extra soft (not to mention they easily turn brown). I'd love a recipe where they are more of a puree and I don't have to think about biting into soft chunks of it! I'll start looking for recipes....see what my options are.

ETA: love this recipe but I've been trying to lose weight and gain muscle, so probably not the best idea. Looking for something a tad healthier...

Made gammon cooked in mango chutney. Definately made the gammon better. Was a little odd but not unpleasant.
