I hated peanut butter growing up. Now I like it, especially the kind with honey.

For a period of time I believe I hated everything that wasn't a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. :laugh: Mostly I remember not liking mushrooms, my husband actually got me addicted to those. And I recall throwing a tantrum over black pepper being on something and I "wouldn't" eat it but now I put black pepper on everything!

How has no one said onions and/or fish yet?!? I hated them as a kid and still hate them today! Raw or cooked, they're just terrible.... but a food that I hated as a kid but now love.. avocados! Mmmmm

Coffee...

I still don't really like plain black coffee.

Red bell peppers and raw tomatoes. I am still not at "tomato sandwich" level, but I can tolerate them.

I have foods I didn't like when I was young but am now ok with, and some that I did eat when I was little and now won't touch.

Foods I like now: Broccoli (as long as there's dip), but only raw, cooked carrots, oranges, radishes, beets, pineapple, peaches, ok, basically all fruit now, except I always liked pears. ham, corn, peppers, oatmeal, sugar snap peas, edamame, veggie burgers & other morning star foods, jello, mustard, pickles, marshmallows, I was a very very picky child. Basically ate sugary cereal, toasted cheese, and mac & cheese. Never did like bananas though, still don't.

Food I used to eat but now won't touch: fish sticks, onion rings, beef (even if it's in hot dogs). I love the smell of fish sticks and onion rings, but I will not eat them (and not because they are unhealthy versions of healthy food. I am not a fish fan and hate onions. Cooked onions look like worms. bleck!)

I just did. I will eat tilapia, that's about it. and absolutely no onions. not even green onions or vidalias.

Let's see... avocado, strawberries, any berries, actually, tomatoes (raw), mushrooms, asparagus... maybe a few others. I wasn't a particularly picky kid, but I had a few things I just wouldn't eat. Now I LOVE mushroom, avocado, and asparagus. Berries and I are slowly warming up, and I'm starting to get more on board with raw tomatoes too.

spinach, broccoli, greens, string beans, peas, mushrooms, eggs, oatmeal, and the list goes on. Now I love those all of them

CdnPgnMom

As a kid I didn't like oatmeal, porridge, onions, cooked cabbage, or squash. Now I LOVE squash, but still can't eat the rest. Onions are the bane of my existence. I've taken to referring to my dislike as an allergy because I vomit if I happen to get even a tiny sliver. It makes restaurant dining interesting. Luckily, my other half doesn't like them either.

AmyM713

Onions, carrots, and tomatoes, I now love the first 2 and can tolerate the 3 depending on how I'm eating it.

Spaghetti sauce. I would only eat buttered noodles. Now I smash the *kitten* outta some homemade spaghetti no questions asked. Still enjoy the occasional buttered noodles though :drinker:

itsmejosie81

HATED MUSHROOMS.....LOVE THEM NOW. OH AND COTTAGE CHEESE!!!

lordsangel

I too hated spinach, green beans, onions, bell peppers, fish, and crazy as it may seem, milk. I still dont like green beans unless they're in something. Love 'wm in stuff. Oh and mayo! I still hate it to this day!:sick:

delilah47

Nearly any vegetable, because it was canned. Now I love all fresh veggies, but still hate canned. Especially canned peas and spinach, which I love fresh.

jenbunboo

i hated onions, mushrooms, and peppers as a kid. raw, cooked, whatever. hated them. i'd scoop the filling out of my mom's stuffed peppers, and the only mushrooms i'd eat were pickled. fast forward to now, onions and mushrooms are favorites, i go through about 2-3 lbs of onions a week (mostly cooked, some raw), mushrooms pop up in at least 2 dishes a week, and peppers are always in the house for salads, snacking, and cooking.

I ate just about anything set before me but I really loathed lima beans, blackeyed peas, really didn't care for any beans in general. Still don't.

Sounds like me as a kid too, and now I make a mean sauce! My Dad taught me how, and I LOVE it! My Daughter is a buttered noodle fiend!

anaboneana

almost every fruit and veggie... especially apples, spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes. i also wasn't as fond of nuts, peanut butter (i was a weird kid..)
and i very rarely ate breakfast (partly because it would make me feel nauseous)
now, i HAVE to have a good breakfast or i'm a Grumpy-Gus for the rest of the day!

saragato

I've always hated the majority of vegetables and still can't stand salads because lettuce tastes like grass to me (and before anyone asks, I have eaten grass, I had a horrible chewing habit as a child and would chew blades of grass when I didn't have gum or straws) but I warmed up to spinach after learning that's what was in a soup I used to get all the time from some restaurant. Also love pumpkin pie now, I always liked the smell because of the nutmeg but I couldn't get past the other flavors.

Can stomach swiss cheese now, lemons... I'm sure there's more. I was a picky eater as a child.

get_sexxxy_shanni

Two things I hated when I was a kid that I have very recently given a second chance and am now obsessed with: sun dried tomatoes and black olives. I only used to eat tomatoes in ketchup and sauce form, and I still hold back barf when I think of biting in to a fresh tomato, but I eat the sun dried tomatoes I buy fresh in the produce section like they were chips.
