What is something you refused to eat as a child, but has now become a favorite food?

[worldscolide]

I will go first, Brussels sprouts. Fire roasted with garlic and butter. Incredible.. But when i was a kid i would not go near them.

[TrueConfection]

Veggies for me. I love them.

As a kid, I would gag. As an adult, I learned through cooking that the reason I hated vegetables as a kid was because they were never fresh (came out of a can or frozen) and they were further cooked into mush, never seasoned or part of something delicious.

by the way, brussel sprouts were THE WORST. I've never had one as an adult. 😂

[worldscolide]

I was the same, then I learned to cook and found out that my mom was a terrible cook

[DizzyDesii]

Pork chops. I still hate fried ones but I started eating grilled/baked ones last year. I love it!!

[worldscolide]

Mmm pork chops.. I sousvide Mine, then sear them on an 800 degree grill.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i bake then grill. I sear my chicken

[MTC29]

Spaghetti. I grew up poor. My mom was a single mom and money was constantly short in our little family. I remember eating canned store brand spaghetti with meat sauce (where the hell was the meat?) for days on end.

It turns out that real spaghetti is AMAZING! and is one of my favorites

[Miristheiss]

It isn't my favorite but I never liked cooked carrots. I'll eat them now. I didn't care for the potatoes in a pot roast. I preferred fluffy potatoes like baked potatoes. When my mom would make pot roast I'd peel me a raw carrot and unenthusiastically eat the potatoes.

I like them now.

As a kid I did not like chives or green onions in my egg drop mushroom soup and now I love it. I never ate sushi as a kid and now I love it.

[loves2learn]

I love all those things!

[midnightmoon05]

Add bacon and maple syrup if you want to try.
NOne
bitter melon… still don’t like.. oh well..

[bubbles328]

Nothing. I loved my veggies and salad and I always have. I was the only kid at school that ate all my cabbage I love it always have

[Rachel794]

I did not like cottage cheese as a kid, I would always refuse to eat it. But now I love it, mixed with savory or sweet ingredients :)

[loves2learn]

Tomatoes! I used to utterly despise them. But in my defense a mealy grocery store tomato and an heirloom tomato are night and day difference.

[jennifer_bloom]

I love tomato based foods and we plant them in our backyard which makes me super happy cause they cost a little more this year. We made cans of tomato paste and froze them for the winter months : )

[loves2learn]

Sounds lovely to me now!

[worldscolide]

Goodness i have always eaten tomatoes like candy almost, it got so bad that my grandfather planted a separate garden just for me, for tomatoes. I still can't get enough of them.

[jennifer_bloom]

Wow, you have a sweet grandfather!

[loves2learn]

@worldscolide in college I had to make a conscious effort to eat them. I ate them gradually, in small doses and eventually taught myself to like them. I despise mayo and similar white sauces with such a vehement passion that would never work. But I decided I could learn to like tomatoes and I did!

[nawtee_me]

@jennifer_bloom the last few years I only planted a couple of regular tomato plants and one cherry tomato plant. But years back when I planted rows of tomatoes I would make salsa and can or make stewed okra and tomatoes and put up.

[loves2learn]

I have always looooved salsa but raw plain tomatoes were a nope for years.

[jennifer_bloom]

@nawtee_me sounds amazing! I will do research to see if I could do that with my tomatoes.

[worldscolide]

Mmm home made salsa!! Hell yes. by the way store bought tomatoes.. Nasty, always home grown.

[loves2learn]

Agreed!

[Cubus]

Barszcz ukraiński (ukrainian borshch). I used to hate it when I was younger, but now I kinda like it.

[Koalamate]

Not Mty favourite but I used to hate avocado and I like it now.
You still hate Brussel sprouts it's just garlic and butter is a cheat code.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Eggs I use to detest eating eggs now I constantly eat eggs.

[Neosporin]

Tomatoes mostly. Too acidic for me as a child but now I like them

[IronsKev]

Tomatoes hated them as a child eat them regularly now

[IncognitoBandito]

Mushrooms and Raisins

[worldscolide]

I will add mushrooms to my list too, I do stuffed portobello occasionally, and i often add mushrooms to steaks and other dishes. Love em now, was honestly scared of them when i was a kid.

[WowwGirl]

Brussel sprouts to date

[nawtee_me]

@WowwGirl baby cabbages... lol I like them too...

[WowwGirl]

Cream corn. I never thought I would like it.

[worldscolide]
