Food you thought you hated, but now Love

Venturin

Maybe our tastes change as we mature, or maybe we finally try a food we always thought would be nasty and wind up loving.

What are your food you now love but either didn't or didn't think you would?

Here's mine;

Brussels Sprouts - Hated them as a kid! But now, roasted in the oven at 370 degrees for 45 minutes with kosher salt and ground pepper... YUM!

Raw Oysters - They just look nasty. But one day when alcohol made me brave I tried one, and I loved it.

Prunes - I thought you only ate them when you wanted help in the bathroom. Nope! They're yummy

Sardines. Always thought they would be nasty but I accidentally order them on a pizza when I was in Italy. That was a delicious pizza.

Brussels sprouts!
artichoke hearts

Brown rice.
I've tried quinoa. Not found of it. And I should get a strainer small enough to rinse it well before. That's probably the problem.

Never used to like avocado and now it's an almost daily consumed item!

morgansmom02

Hummus and avocado

Spinach.. Yumm! I have no idea why I never liked it, may have just been the name. Now I eat it in everything. I have also come to love oatmeal.

angeldaae

Asparagus and onions.

I don't consume either one of them "almost daily," but I used to hate them and now I love them!

Fish. I think I was tricked into dislike by those overprocessed, overcooked fish sticks we were served as kids. I'm learning all kinds of new ways to cook it and enjoy it.

Greek yogurt - to an extent. I still don't get the love affair with the stuff. It's just so thick and gaggy! But I finally found one I can tolerate and actually really enjoy - voskos honey vanilla bean. It's all natural and the perfect mid-morning snack, with a tablespoon of bear claw granola mixed in.

Now Chobani - blechhhh! Have yet to find a flavor of that I can stomach.

Luckily, I've always been a fan of the presumably gross green veggies - spinach, lima beans, brussels sprouts. Of course, I grew up on malt vinegar, so a little malt vinegar on any green veggie works for me, especially since I will no longer be having delicious french fries with malt vinegar.

Onion and cottage cheese.... not together, of course. I still have a bit of trouble eating raw onion, but I love them grilled, carmelized, and in pico. I used to think cottage cheese was :sick: , but now, I've found it's a wonderful filling and protein rich snack! Yay!

Sausage
Mustard

Still waiting to like celery though! It's evil :devil:

I now love all of them and eat them almost daily!

TGKvr

Avocado, crab, tomatoes (still can't do them raw but I'm getting there), eggplant, hummus, pizza with toppings other than pepperoni, pork (not all the way there with that one but I love me some ribs and pernil!), kiwi, sushi, escargot, super spicy things...

Flan.

I had a 900 year old Mexican aunt who was blind as a bat but made the most DIVINE flan. The first time I hated it. Now my mouth waters at the thought...mmm, flan.

Brown rice & spinach!

Sardines. Always thought they would be nasty but I accidentally order them on a pizza when I was in Italy. That was a delicious pizza.

Sardines on a pizza? mmmm I might have to think about that one. I do like them, just never though about on a pizza. They are actually one of the recomended foods in a book called Super Foods.

About 3 years ago, my NY resolution was to try new foods. Now, I like spinach & broccoli and many more veggies that I never used to eat.

jl622

Eggs.

squishycow7

tomatoes - always loved ketchup, pasta sauce, etc, but never raw ones til I was about 18 or so!

squash - hated ALL kinds, no matter the preparation... then one day I was like wait, what am I talking about?? It was whipped butternut squash that did me in

mushrooms - couldn't even stand the smell!!!! My dad bet me $20 I wouldn't take one bite of a mushroom once... cause he was SO sure I wouldn't do it (which I did, cause I was a moneyhungry 13 year old, but I still hated it)

mayo - now I can't get enough, I wish I hadn't changed my mind lol

Dethea

Brussel Sprouts
Broccoli
Beans (any kind!)
