    Mangoes! Can you believe it. I grew up in Cairns, Australia and we had a mango tree - all the mangoes I could want, and I didn't want any! Now I have to pay $3 for 1 :(

    I think the only vegetables my mom served when I was growing up were corn and green beans. I love veggies but probably would have turned up my nose at them earlier in life.

    Cauliflower, brocolli, asparagus, cooked carrots, squash, sweet potatoes. Now I'm hungry.

    rice! My mom always made white rice and I hated it. Got married and my husband made brown rice and I loved it. Must have been the texture.

    Aubergine! Our nanny would fry aubergine in loads of oil and serve it as breakfast before school! Close second would be Brussels sprouts, artichokes and celery.

    When I was around 4 or so I hated peppers. My mom told me they were important for staying healthy, and I told her I'd like them when I was older.

    Now I love them.

    I hated all foods as a child. Dinner each night was an hours-long war of attrition between my mother and I where I would sit staring at her in stoney-eyed silence while she tried to negotiate, bribe, and threaten me to eat at least part of my food. I spent a significant percentage of my childhood sitting at the dinner table with my arms crossed and my jaws clenched.

    But now I like pretty much everything.

    So there is hope for my 9 yr old... Thank god.
