QOTD March 10, 2012: What Food Did You Used To Hate As A Kid But Now You Like?

[divadoll]

What goods did you used to hate but now you love?

Me?  I was a picky kid.  There were tons of foods I wouldn't eat.  Now, I love them.  I wouldn't eat mushrooms and brussel sprouts.  Mushrooms because of the colour and brussel sprouts because they were gross.  I now sautee the brussel sprouts in butter and garlic and they are delicious.

Sour cream, any kind of lettuce, asparagus, tomatoes, oh, and I feel like there's something else, but those are a few I can remember.

Oddly enough, I LOVED mushrooms when I was little. Whenever we got pizza ordered in, all I wanted were mushrooms on it. I would eat them raw all the time! Somewhere along the way, I started hating them, and I still hate them. Not sure why, lol.

Onions and bell peppers. I'd spit them into my napkin as a kid. Love them now.

 

[geniabeme]

I use to hate cucumbers and Dr. Pepper.. i LOVE both now!!

 

[amoxirat]

Mushrooms!

I used to pick them out of everything (my mom loved to cook with them)- I thought they were the nastiest thing that could ever possibly exist.  But now I can't get enough of them!

I used to hate peppers in general, but bell peppers especially.  Now, I love the spicy kick and in the case of bell peppers, the aroma and texture they provide to food.

Definitely spinach! Now I love it and eat it raw all of the time... so weird. 

Bananas were another one. I ate it when I got to college and wondered why the hell I avoided them!

 

[amberlamps]

Pretty much anything and everything. I was such a picky eater as a kid. Now I'll almost eat anything. Except kimchi, I still HATE kimchi. Yuck. I haven't eaten it as an adult, but ew.

Peas and bananas without having even tried them. Now I eat them and maybe bananas are my favourite fruit.
