As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.

As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!

What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!

Fish in general. As a kid I absolutely disliked the strong taste and oily texture.

I'm very open with my foods and like to retry everything I disliked in the past, things I still don't like are Olives (weird metallic taste I don't like), Tomatoes (slimy texture at normal size, cherry tomats are fine), unaltered boiled egg yolks (so dry, so so dry), Oatmeal (texture issue), and a couple others I can't think of at the moment. I enjoy most of the texture based ones as soon as the texture is altered.

A lot of fish types grown on me. I still love a salmon with a slight glaze and some veggies.

I’m with you on tomatoes. I only eat them if it comes sliced on a burger or else I just do not like them.
