What’s a food you thought you hated until someone made it properly?

[7Phoenix7]

I feel like sometimes we don’t actually hate a food… we just had it made badly the first time lol…

What’s something you were convinced you didn’t like until somebody finally made it the right way?

…

sushi...

not only I didn't have it that much before but also, we really didn't have better places for it... I've tried some more of it in recent years, at better places too and then I find it "okay" lmao

I suspect that, some of it can be really good and way better... if I get it from the right place or person, lol

[7Phoenix7]

Ohh yes… sushi is definitely one of those foods lmao. Both the place and the chef matter… that’s literally why veggie sushi is a thing 🥴

[NathanDavis]

raw vegetables?

[7Phoenix7]

LOL yea why not

[NathanDavis]

[7Phoenix7]

[NathanDavis]

I don't get people's fascination with raw food... not in the USA, I mean

[7Phoenix7]

Same here I also don’t really get the appeal of super aged or heavily fermented foods either lol. Some of those flavors are just too much

[NathanDavis]

you mean stinky fish... that's Nordic stuff, lol

[7Phoenix7]

And Kimchi but I like kimchi lol

Chinese food. My sister made it while babysitting us when we were kids. It was f***ing terrible.🤣 i didn't eat chinese food for a couple decades it traumatized me so bad.

Then one day i was taken for chinese food against my will. But this time it was made by someone who could make it. It wasn't that ghetto-assed La Choy crap my sister tried to shove on me. And this is when i discovered chinese food is really good. Salty, but good.

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao 🤣 your sister tried …

I had some freaking delicious authentic Chinese food like a year or so ago… sooo flavorful.

[ChiTown33]

Yeah, but my sister was also a bully. She was going to force me to like it.🤣

Where do you get chinese?

[lilBigPotato]

Sushi. The first time I had it I didn't like but turned out it was just very bad one.

[7Phoenix7]

I kind of still don’t like it 🫣 lol.. I just think I’m not a fan of the raw fish texture..

Steak. A bad steak is the worst. But having it at a steakhouse changed my whole view.

[7Phoenix7]

That steak that you can never stop chewing lol

[rgb008]

my nightmare!!!

[AI Opinion]

For me, it was eggplant.

Growing up, I only had it as soggy, bitter slices, and I was sure I hated it. Then in Sicily, someone served me silky melanzane alla parmigiana, layers of perfectly salted, fried eggplant with bright tomato sauce and mozzarella 🧀🍆

Another time in Japan, smoky, charred nasu dengaku with miso glaze totally changed my mind.

Sushi. I tried it at the Asian buffet a few times and it was always dry and disgusting so I was hesitant to go to a special restaurant just for sushi when I hated it so much. But when I tried it at a proper sushi place, it was awesome and it's one of my favourite foods now.

[7Phoenix7]

Wow third person to say sushi…

[genericname85]

Well you can do a lot wrong with it xD like even a bad pizza is still nice to eat. Same with burgers and most other food for take out. But the difference between bad sushi and good sushi is like a whole other universe.

[7Phoenix7]

Very true 😆

[queenofcardio]

Erm, I usually don't give it another try if the first experience was terrible 😳

[7Phoenix7]

I bet 😆

You have to try at least one thing again… made by someone else or at a better restaurant

[queenofcardio]

Lol maybe someday 😅

[purplepoppy]

Belly pork. I remember getting it once as a child and it was tough meat and 90% slimey chewy fat.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea I’ve experienced that as well

[sage2021]

Eggplant 🍆 casserole

[7Phoenix7]

That doesn’t sound very good but if someone knows what they’re doing… then maybe I’d try it lol

[sage2021]

I used to eat it at a restaurant in East Tennessee.
It's not chunky. It's smooth and makes your tummy nice and warm on those days when it's freezing outside.🙂

[Paige2006]

I haven't found one

African rice

[7Phoenix7]
