    Artichokes - never liked them as a kid, but tasted them one day and fell in love

    Clam Chowder - always like the smell but was convinced all the chucks were clams so all I would do was sop up the broth with bread. Come to find out it was mostly potatoes.

    Chinese food - didnt even like the smell when I was younger, now I have to force myself to stay away. Unless I make stir fry at home.

    Lol. You mentioned prunes and it made think of this Polish treat I like. You'll never believe it: Chocolate covered prunes! That's right.

    But anyhoo, avacado used to be gross to me. Fats in general make me scared but now I love healthy fats more than anything (not until after I lost my gall bladder unfortunately). I like sashimi now as well. The only thing I'm trying to work up the courage for is ocra. That stuff is so slimy but I know it's really good for you.

    Pretty much all the fruits and vegetables I grew up eating were canned. Until I became an adult and started cooking for myself, I just thought I didn't like fruits and veggies. Then I started eating them fresh, and WOW. Huge difference. I mean honestly, is there anything more disgusting than canned asparagus? But fresh asparagus is one of my favorites.

    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!
    Yep! My mother used to boil them (or something.. they were little balls of mushy nastiness) and then practically force-feed us. I tried them as an adult and now they're one of my favourites! Roasted or sauteed with lots of salt & pepper, some olive oil, and garlic!

    Also, butternut squash. Another one of mom's favourites that I always thought tasted like baby food... until I tried it at my grandmother's once. (I dunno though-- her house seems to be inside some kind of forcefield that makes absolutely everything taste good, so who knows?)
