I used to dislike onions, banana peppers, and tea. I love all of those things now. You?
I was a texturally picky eater, and had phases where I just couldn’t eat some foods (peanuts for a long time, carrots— raw and overcooked. I still can’t eat raw bananas or stand their smell.)
Carrots now are great, just not raw.
Hummis; black eye peas; snow peas
In all honesty, I never even tried them because I did not like peas and that was enough for me.
I ate a snow pea to be polite in my 20's and loved it. Black eyes, I ate by accident and hummis was something I didn't even try until a few years ago because it just didn't' look right
Courgettes! My mother overcooked them and I just hated the texture, it was so disgusting! Bot I know now the raw courgettes are delicious!!!
Chocolate. I used to say I was allergic to it, but my mom would always tell them no, he just doesn’t like it. Doctors office or whatever.
Sprouts.. or know here as Brussels sprouts. My mums family is British, a very traditional veg and they were served at just about every meal. My nan would boil them to death. Gross. My mum started roasting them and I fell in love. Now as an adult, I eat them at every opportunity!
Mushrooms and lima beans. Lima beans are a pain to prepare, so I get them frozen. I am trying to grow my own mushrooms under the big tree in my yard. Too much snow right now.
Still do not like beets and okra
I can't think of anything I didn't like as a child that I like now. Hated liver, Brussels sprouts, sweetbreads, asparagus, coffee, tea, buttermilk, soda water. Still hate all them.
There are things that I loved as a child that I can't stand now though. Two of those would be Jello, and hamachi.
Meat (just kidding). I can't think of anything I disliked but then again we didn't have a huge variety as a kid. Later I got nauseated at Nato [thejapanguy.com] It is slimy and gross. It is said the Japanese have developed an enzyme to be able to digest it and many love. Definitely an acquired taste.
I know... I was the Puerto Rican that Never ate Rice and Beans as a Child. I was SPOILED! Dating the Woman that became my wife, I was Forced to eat Rice and Beans. The Things A Man Will Do For Love! I still hate any food named after a roman gladiator. Broccoli and Asparagus come to mind.
