So I think many of us has at least one of these: Something that you tried before and didn't like at all - then you gave it another shot (maybe when you started to eat healthier) and now you LOVE it!
For me, it's:
Cottage Cheese - Tried it twice not more than a couple of years ago, and just went blehhh. Then I tried it again just like a month ago because I wanted to give it another chance.. It's DELICIOU!
Peanut Butter - I thought this was gross the first time I tried it, although I WAS lke 12 years old and thought it was gonna taste like Nutella.. It did take me like two or three times to eat it until I got used to it, and now for me it's like a friggin gift from the heavens, I don't know how I ever disliked PB!
Greek Yogurt - It was just too sour and different for me in the beginning, but now I use it for lots of stuff! I eat it with frozen berries (YUM!), with salmon, egg salad etc. Love it!
So how about you guys?

Celery - used to hate it, now I will happily snack on it (actually it's a bit weird but eating celery makes me quite sleepy so I tend to have it in the evening if I think I'm going to struggle to sleep, odd I know!)
Tomatoes - still not a massive fan but I will eat them in a salad (which is quite a massive achievement for me)
Hummus - i tend to dislike smooth textures (e.g mashed potato blerg) but now I really love hummus, still prefer the chunky one though :-)
EDIT: I still can't bring myself to eat eggs or bananas, I know they are good for me but... eeeewwwww.0 -
I strongly disliked hummus, collard greens, kale and tofu before I started changing my diet. Now, I love all 40

I hate bananas too! I love banana flavored things (banana bread, smoothies, etc.) but I can't stand the consistency of a banana.Celery - used to hate it, now I will happily snack on it (actually it's a bit weird but eating celery makes me quite sleepy so I tend to have it in the evening if I think I'm going to struggle to sleep, odd I know!)

Peanut butter - to be fair I always did like it...now I cant get enough

Fish - I hated fish and now I love it!
