    brussel sprouts. Apparently boiling them from a frozen box was not the best way to cook them.

    Brussel sprouts. I hated even seeing them, now I can have them with every meal.

    Brussels Sprouts – we were served frozen boiled sprouts. So nasty. Turns out they are delicious roasted with butter, or thinly sliced raw in a salad.

    Pretty much everything because my boomer parents had never heard of seasoning. Get away from them, add a little salt, food tastes good suddenly.

    A few Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, and cabbage.

    Mushrooms. Most of what I was exposed to were canned mushrooms which are still gross. It wasn’t until years later when a friend talked me into eating some grilled oyster mushrooms that I opened myself up to trying more. Now I love all mushrooms.

    Beans – Sweet syrupy beans are still gross, but chickpea curries, white bean cassoulets, black bean tortilla soups etc. All delicious bean dishes!

    Mango and avocado were 2 I avoided for the first 20 years of my life. Especially during my vegan times, avocado became a good friend.

  22. TemperMe Avatar

    Asparagus, onions, and some mushrooms.

    All beans are still disgusting and nothing on this planet has tasted worse than lettuce to me. The smell, the textures, the taste are all the absolute worst of the worst.

  23. RebelliousRainbows Avatar

    Properly cooked food apparently…I always thought my mum was a good cook until I moved out and started cooking myself. Turns out she overcooked most things hence boiling/roasting/simmering every ounce of flavour out of most things.

  24. Strong-Conclusion-52 Avatar

    Guacamole- to be fair I thought it looked like vomit as a kid. LOL. Never tasted it until I was a teenager.

    broccoli and cheese omgggg i love it so so so much!

    Nuts. All nuts.

    Both beets & mushrooms. A beet and goat cheese salad is fantastic, while mushrooms cooked, say, along side a steak is a great pairing.

    Liver and onions I used to hate it as a kid and even growing up watching Doug I was like you they’re eating liver and onions but now as an adult who has issues with my hemoglobin levels liver is really good for you know boosting the blood counts and everything so I literally just order some from this restaurant every so often smothering onions smothered in hot sauce and have fun

  30. VengeanceCookieX Avatar

    I wish I could say that but I was always into food unfortunately. But one thing I still don’t like is stomach if an animal, it’s horrible and stinks.

  31. CaptainAwesome06 Avatar

    Sauerkraut. It was my arch nemesis growing up. Just smelling it would make me dry heave.

    I don’t know if I’d say I love it now, but it’s great on/with certain things.

  32. Top_Zucchini_1569 Avatar

    Artichoke 😋 I’ve always been a picky eater and probably won’t stop out of trauma having food shoved down my throat when I refused but damn do I love Artichoke now it’s one big excuse to stuff your face with a ton of delicious garlic butter or dip with it

  33. Terrible-Invite-3992 Avatar

    Steak and most green vegetables

  34. Feyranna Avatar

    Onions. I mean I don’t eat them raw like an apple or anything but I like them in all the usual places youd find onions as part of recipes or sandwiches. As a kid i loathed even a hint of raw onion.

  35. Prudent-Image3182 Avatar

    Unions in all forms. Love it now.

  36. MrsSoldiercide Avatar

    Green olives. I don’t know when the switch flipped but as a child I never would have eaten them and now they’re delicious.

  37. 100percentapplejuice Avatar

    Beef chow fun. It was all my mom would feed me when I was a kid at an upscale Chinese restaurant my dad liked to go to. I hated the veggies in it, and the weird taste of the sauce.

    Now I desperately crave it. Soft beef, crunchy onions and bean sprouts, chewy noodles….goddamn

  38. Ok_Spell_4165 Avatar

    Asparagus.

    Not sure if it is the asparagus itself or just that the only way I had it until I was in my mid 20s was steamed and I disliked that.

  39. LiveLaughFartLoud Avatar

    Pork chops. Turned out I don’t hate them, my mom just overcooked them lol.

  40. Grouchy_Phone_475 Avatar

    Plain yams, though I liked casserole and pie. Now,I just sprinkle some cinnamon on a baked yam,and,go at it.
    I didn’t like black olives,either. Now I do.
    Didn’t lije horseradish until I found out how good it is for the sinuses,also Chinese hot mustard and real wasabi.

    Blueberries. I was tricked into eating them in a muffin as a kid by being told they were chocolate chips. It took me a long time to recover from that traumatic event. 

  42. sharkycharming Avatar

    Lasagna. I thought ricotta cheese was disgusting when I was a kid. I think it was a texture thing.

  43. biscuitvillage Avatar

    Pretty much every vegetables!

    Mushrooms. If prepared well they are unbelievably good

  50. TurtleCat_ALoveStory Avatar

    Mushrooms! I hated them and now I toss them in a pan with olive oil and garlic salt and they are my fav

  51. FlickZap Avatar

    Most of the food. 😂😂 As a child I used to eat very few food but now I eat most of them.

  52. Techman659 Avatar

    Crumpets or toast, parents used to burn them in the grill but I threw them in the toaster which honestly makes more sense definitely cooks them more evenly with no burning.

  53. DaveyMuldowney Avatar

    I refused to eat tomatoes for 30 years.

    Now I’m growing three different kinds in my garden.

    steak. 🥩 my mom used to make steak a lot but she’d over cook it with absolutely no seasoning. i never had a properly cooked steak until i was 20 years old. ever since then i’ve been hooked and absolutely love steak

  57. shishkabob90 Avatar

    Mustard. Used to hate it as a kid. 1 day decided to try a Cuban sandwich since nothing else on the places menu sounded good at the time. Didn’t realize it had mustard on it until I took a bite. But it tasted delicious, and ever since then I’ve grown to like mustard more and more.

    Pizza. Just the look of it as a kid was enough to out me off it looked slimy and messy but now I can’t get enough of it

    Green peppers.

    Oatmeal. As a kid I thought it looked like vomit, so I could never eat it. Now it’s one of my favorite breakfasts.
