What food did you dislike when you were young that you learned to like later?

I used to dislike onions, banana peppers, and tea. I love all of those things now. You?

My worst was mushy vegetables. Any peas and boiled okra. One day at a friend's, I was so hungry I ate black-eyed peas and liked them. It took longer for green peas, but I just came to like food when it's cooked properly. Then I discovered fried okra. Now I can eat any vegetable if it's fried or roasted. My family just didn't know how to cook.

What about mushy cabbage, carrots, spuds and savoury mince. With gravy. I used to live on this when I worked in Bridlington. And for a tiny groat more you could get sponge cake with custard and a cup of tea. Can't believe I got paid for eating my lunch.

I now like cabbage crisp or cooked. Love sweet/sour homemade slaw. Most fast-food slaw is barely passable.

Spinach! I hated that slimy algae from the can, but now I loves me green eggs and ham! 1 - wilt some spinach in the microwave - crack some eggs in a blender, add some olive oil, and the spinach. blend - pour it in a no stick fry pan to cook and add some diced ham - or whatever to taste while a piece of bread toasts and there you go, breakfast, omelet or scrambled - your choice.

When I first moved to this country at age eleven, the first time that I ate pizza, it taste so bad, like cardboard that I did not want to try it again for years. until someone took me to a real pizza parlor and made me try a New York slice of pizza.

Pork and lamb. It wasn't until adulthood that I realized that these items could be prepared without them turning to charcoal. Great lady, but mom never could master them, lol.

Pretty much any vegetable. I hated them when I was really little. Started to get used to them in my teens, and now, I am a vegetarian

I hated eggs as a kid. So much so that my grandparents would have after church brunch of eggs every Sunday and they even broke down and made me something else.
I don’t know where it changed, but I eat eggs regularly now.
I did get turned off for a while when I got some eggs from someone’s chickens locally - I cracked the egg and it wasn’t a yolk inside it ????

Mum, do I have to eat the beak?

@El-loco I ate ducks beak in Thailand in October much to many peoples disgust.

@Tiffanny Ewww.

@El-loco In fairness I didnt know what it was till after but it was deep fried.

@Tiffanny Deep fried chicken's beak?

Look, I came on here to discuss religion - or the lack of it. Not to discuss deep fried chicken's beaks or spiders or rice fucking pudding!

When I was young I disliked broccoli and cabbage and I had a very strong dislike of parsnips, which, I now like to eat from time to time. I still dislike any kind of seaweed.

I think I liked virtually everythign as a kid... except (black) licorice (anise). I still dislike that.

I wouldn't eat yogurt, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, spinach, asparagus, cottage cheese. I eat them all now. I'm sure that there are other things I would not eat when I was younger that I do eat now.

Onions, tomatoes, hummus, lettuce, eggs, and beets.

OK, I can make authentic Gazpacho Andaluz. But for Genuine Fabada Astoriana it might cost.

¿Bocarones fritos despues amigos?

Tapioca pudding! or frogs spawn as it was called in my school days

Think Ronald Reagan was more than accurate when he stated broccoli was the worst vegetable. Thought so back then and I still agree with his statement. Although I can tolerate it I never go looking for it.

Yes! And avocados. The terrifying "alligator pear" that I used to eschew, now I enjoy.

@Meep70 avocados have always been great!

Liver, and several vegetables including asparagus, cauliflower, and broccoli. I still do not like Brussels sprouts. I wish I could still eat all of the sugary cereals I used to love and get the prizes out of the box too.

Grew up I a very bland diet. As I started traveling, I discovered flavor and spices. Still learning.

I really don’t remember too much that I disliked. Or that has changed. Whatever I didn’t like then, I haven’t really gained a taste for.

AS a child, I would eat almost anything that didn't have tomatoes in it. Now, I will eat just about anything but fresh tomatoes.

Oatmeal. I still don’t love it, but I can do cold overnight oats now. Cheesecake. I wouldn’t even try it when I was a kid. Now I love it!

I grew up in a sort-of Jewish family in Long Island and hated smoked salmon. Plus lima beans. Years later, when I worked in a high-end restaurant and tasted good quality smoked salmon, I got it.

Sweet potatoes
