When you're a kid, there's plenty of stuff that you don't want to eat, the sheer existence of it being abhorrent and causing your stomach to turn. Your parent's attempts to trick and force you to eat it are unsuccessful. Try as they might to present it to you in new or disguised ways; your disgust remains.
I remember loving my mom's mac and cheese as a kid until I one day saw her making it and witnessed her pouring some sludge labeled "cream of mushroom" into the mix. Cream of mushroom? I had unknowingly been eating mushrooms for all this time. Those little black flecks that I'd seen throughout the dish were a disgusting fungus that was being forced upon me.
From that day forward, things changed; I could no longer stomach a dish that I once adored after discovering the knowledge that it had been tainted. Of course, there's a lot of complex psychological stuff happening here, and for every attempt you thought you caught your parents out on for forcing you to eat something, there were probably loads more that you didn't even notice.
This dad pulled one over on his family by getting the blender out to finely disguise the lumps that were horrifying his family—earning their displeasure once his plot was revealed.
