Ask Lemmy

Pickles. They were too strong and sour for me. Now I love 'em.

No, if anything it's the opposite, there are foods (mostly junk foods and beverages) I used to love as a kid but now I find revolting. Most other veg and controversial foods like olives or blue cheese were always on my yes list though.

I do have some things i didn't like that now I tolerate, but saying that I love them or like them is a stretch. I think coffee is one, I drink some and can even get addicted to it but I don't consider myself a lover. Another example is eggplant, I used to hate it as a kid and now I tolerate it without loving it.

• Brussel Sprouts: I tried them in a salad and fell in love with them instantly. Now they're included in every roast. They have to be fresh, because the frozen ones can just be mushy. And those little, crispy, flavorful leaves that fall off are just 🤌🏾
• Tomatoes: I won't just bite into one, but I've been making them more prominent in my dishes. I mostly stick to the sundried variety, haven't been able to eat them raw.
• Mushrooms: I love them so much I don't understand why I hated them.
• Some Cheese: I general, I still would say I don't like cheese, but I've become more forgiving of mozerella, which was unheard of when I was a child. It's the only cheese that broke through.

Still don't like bacon though 🤷🏿‍♀️

Tomatoes. Especially raw ones!

Onions

Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard. Dad was from Brooklyn and loved it, as I kid I just wanted the neon yellow stuff all my friends had. Now, many years later, I always have it in my fridge.

Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.

Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!

grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.

Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.

Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives

Corn! Wait, no, still hate it.
