    Peanut butter - didn't eat it until I was pregnant with my daughter. I craved it then and have been eating it ever since. My daughter loves it too.

    Another is cantaloupe. I can eat a half by myself now.

    Does liquid count - Cold Tea be it sweet or otherwise. I have hated it until I turned 36 and then a switch was flipped and I can't get enough.

    Yeah I have to say the last time I tried oysters they were slightly less repulsive than they've been in the past. Maybe in another year I'll be able to hold my own in the annual oyster shucking madness.

    my #1 is definitely hummus....I knocked it until tried it! I EFFING LOVE hummus. Im gonna try making my own...One of my co-workers makes it using lemon infused olive oil and it is TO DIE FOR!! I mean really if you like lemon as much as I do, scent and flavor, you would love it. When she emails me back I'm posting.

    I could not stand onions or tomatoes. As strange of a kid I was, I remember scraping the onions off of the liver and chowing down on that, I looooooved liver!
    I only got over my hate for tomatoes when I went to Europe. The food I had there was so fresh and delicious that it had a completely different taste. There wasn't any tasteless goo on the inside like the ones in the supermarket here.
    I can stand onions now, but only if I can't see them, I like the taste but not the texture.

    I have quite a few of these: Used to eat beef really well done, now I have to have med rare, avocados, mayo, onions, peppers, sour cream, greek yogurt, sushi, kombucha. I guess I gave up things I ate as a kid in return like tater tots, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, cant stand that stuff now.

    Asparagus! Loving it right now grilled with garlic/salt/pepper.

    Of course, I have learned as I've gotten older that a lot of my "hated" foods were actually because my mother couldn't cook. It's amazing how good some things are when they're cooked properly.

    Avacados. Never had the urge to eat them because of their texture and color (green and mushy???) but I had my first one when I was 25 and it was love at first taste :heart:

    As a kid I hated any kind of potato or macaroni salads now I love them. I did not like tomatoes, cabbage or onions.

    I honestly think that once we cleanse our pallets of all the sodium and sugars, food just tastes different. My list is HUGE but here's a few:

    Avacodoes
    Artichoke
    Black Beans
    White Beans
    Onions
    Fresh tomatoes
    Basically any and all veggies..lol
    vinegrettes
    granola
    coconut
    salmon
    fresh pineapple
    Sushi

    I always make sure to try foods I think I hate at least once a year, just to make sure I still hate them. This year I have found THREE that I thought I hated and now either love or can tolerate


    Avocados - always thought they were gross mushy semi-tasteless...now I put them on my sandwiches and in my salads!! And I love guacamole now :)

    Onions - 25 years of adamantly hating this vegetable, pulling them off my pizza and out of my salads, and this winter I decided again to try a piece of one. It was a purple onion, and I absolutely loved it, raw and plain! I still don't care for other onions, though I can tolerate them, but I love purple onions!

    Mushrooms - Used to hate hate hate mushrooms, but I find now I can tolerate them enough to not pull them out of my food. Still don't care for them (it's a texture thing), but it's better than before!

    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.

    I used to hate fish too. Now I love grilled fish with pepper and lemon.
