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.

    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.

    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.

    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. :wink: 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!

    Breakfast.

    I never ate breakfast before, but now every morning I have some yogurt, fresh berries and a slice of wheat toast. It seems to be the perfect start to my day!!
