What food did you only discover as an adult?

[stratford]

Is there a food you hated or avoided as a child but discovered you loved once you became an adult?

[NathanDavis]

I was a bit fussy as a kid... and would limit myself to the few things I really like and enjoyed

don't think there was one thing specific... but I just started to eat more of many things I just didn't use to, guess I just really started to grow up, lol

BBQ/smoked meatloaf.
I love regular meatloaf but the BBQ place in town does smoked meatloaf on Wed.

[DizzyDesii]

Smoked hamhocks/cabbage, Hot Sauce, and Pork Chops were things i didn't eat/like until the pandemic hit. Next up, yogurt

[DizzyDesii]

I also wanna try lobster tail and salmon

Laverbread, as a kid you couldn't pay me to eat it but as an adult I quite like it.

my life growing up was a lot like my life now except it was my parents doing it, my dad toured a lot more places than i'm touring now so i was exposed to a lot of exotic foods all over the world. i'm trying to think if there's even a food i just discovered on my own

[rosemilk]

does mustard count? i could literally chug mustard now, don't ask.

[wiltingrosepetal]

I'll say a drink, rum. I hates when my parents would use it in cooking, but it's become my drink of choice recently

[Hopelessromantic03]

I didn’t really like eggplant as a kid although mum cooked it in meals a lot. It’s only now that I actually enjoy eating it, like when I find it in a dish, I’ll dish it out and eat it willingly and enjoy it.
