When I was a kid, I loved liver & onions.
My parents would take us out to eat and when the waitress asked me what I wanted, I'd order liver on onions with a slice of lemon.
The waitress would look at my parents thinking maybe they were making me get that.
My parents would say "He really does want that. He loves it."
And, it's your #1 as worst ever.
I lost my taste for it when I learned what the liver does!
