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!

i used to hate peanut butter. idk why

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I have always loved peanut butter, but it’s gotta be creamy.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

i prefer crunchy but i have a large gap between two molars and one time a peanut got stuck there and wouldnt come out so i cant do crunchy anymore

Gumbo. My mom made it a few times and I always hated it. Turns out she wasn’t making it correctly until I had my extended family make it the way our family did from Louisiana and now I can’t get enough of the stuff.

My family goes all out on gumbo, making a pot that will cost around $400 (pre-pandemic pricing, not sure how much it went up since) but have every little thing everyone wants from shrimp and sausage to chicken and all the little fixings in it.

I’ve never had a real gumbo, but it’s something I absolutely want to try!

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 4 points 5 days ago

It’s one of those things you have to try homemade, unfortunately. The only restaurant I somewhat trust is my aunt’s restaurant and even then it’s still not as good as homemade! But it comes close.

I’ll send you an invite next time we have one lol

I hated sea food as a kid, and still mostly do, but now I can stand shrimps and mussels.

And vegetables too, like a lot of people (apart from pumpkins and stuff like that, those are still nightmare for me)

Swiss cheese

Wine

Have always had a pretty broad palate but swiss cheese I couldn't like until I was older, and could taste its flavor relationship to good Parmesan, the nuttiness.

Wine I made a conscious effort this year, that wasn't a maturity thing, it was a project but have found several I actively enjoy rather than just barely tolerate.

Oh, and turnips - I didn't like them, then I enjoyed them raw with dips, now I do like them raw or cooked.

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.

Pickles. They were too strong and sour for me. Now I love 'em.

Tomatoes. Especially raw ones!

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I still can’t get behind tomatoes. On a burger, I’m good. Otherwise I just don’t like them still for some reason.

Agreed, there's something too acid about them to me, I like them cooked/fried/sundried though!

No, if anything it's the opposite, there are foods (mostly junk foods and beverages) I used to love as a kid but now I find revolting. Most other veg and controversial foods like olives or blue cheese were always on my yes list though.

I do have some things i didn't like that now I tolerate, but saying that I love them or like them is a stretch. I think coffee is one, I drink some and can even get addicted to it but I don't consider myself a lover. Another example is eggplant, I used to hate it as a kid and now I tolerate it without loving it.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Interesting! I’m like that with many sodas and candy - too sweet. Blech!

Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Cauliflower soup? I am guessing it’s a creamy soup? I’ve never heard of that one before.

I agree with the rest, especially blue cheese!

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Not 100% sure of the ingredients, but yes, it's creamy. Involves a lot of milk, that'sall I know as I make it from these portioned bags with powder. Topped with a litte bit of bacon.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”
