Foods You Hated As A Kid But Enjoy Now?

[dgridley]

I hated tomato juice as a kid.... love it now. Same with grapefruit juice.

Loved vanilla ice cream as a kid, hated chocolate. Love chocolate now, preferring it to vanilla.

cabbage...ohhh, and turnip...I used to run for the hills when my mom made either of those :D

Now, I just love'm :D

 

[dgridley]

I don't think I've ever had turnips but I love boiled cabbage and cole slaw so no problem there..

Potatoes , especially mashed:P potatoes.
Loved fries, don't know why I disliked
potatoes so much during my single digit
years.

Also pickles. I even used to take them
off of McDonalds burgers. Then at some
point they were a must have on burgers.
Eventually, years later, I could eat them
by themselves. Maybe some tastebuds died.

Always thought tomato sauce was awesome
but I absolutely can't drink tomato juice.
Blech!

Always liked peas.. even cooked frozen peas like you get in tv dinners..

Like most green veggies now (brusell sprouts, yum!), except still not fond of green beans, except french cut..

Most hated foods when I was a kid:

Lima beans
Liver
Spinach

Still despise the first two. Spinach I kind of like now, as long as there's some sauce on it, it's baked into something else, or it's in a salad.

Hated all three myself, love them all now, especially fried liver and onions! Wow, wish I had some now!

I always used to hate fish when I was a child, now however, I love it!

 

[dgridley]

I never liked any fish that was too "fishy" tasting.. hated salmon, now will eat it now and then.

Trying with Grapefruit juice now because it is SO good for you. Finding Ruby Red acceptable but I still don't like the bitter ending.

One of my favorite commercials was the Batchelors mushy pea commercial.. the pea came out and they verbally abused it until it cried and become mushy... NEXT!

Made me lol.

Sashimi - I went to Morimoto's in Philly and the Sashimi converted me. If you go the Miso Cod is FREAKIN AMAZING.

Defintely! When I was a kid, I thought "How can people drink that!?". Now I can't function without it! :D

If I hated it as a kid i hate it now. Still remember having to eat sauerkraut lol

 

[dgridley]

Speaking of sauerkraut, hated it as a kid, now I love it..

I could drink Ruby Red all day, defaultuser..

Have always disliked the taste of beer, still do..

Have never liked my coffee black, don't think I ever will.

Hated beans all my life but started eating now...Taste buds do change or maybe... die :P

I started eating beans about a year ago. Another
food I didn't like as a kid. Now I regret not
trying it again sooner. There's so much nutrition
in them.

Tomato beans, sausages and eggs. Now there is a breakfast for champions!
