    Avocado. I’m doing my best to catch up.

    Nowadays however I have gone right off bananas.

    And tinned fish- yuk. Fit only for cat food.

    Another vote for olives – hated them with a passion – now really enjoy them.

    Tomatoes. Really didn’t like them for years, then tried one and have eaten them ever since.

    I should maybe give olives another go, must be 20 years since I’ve tried one!

    Tomatoes.

    Same here. Couldn’t even eat anything that had touched a tomato now can’t get enough of them.
    On the flipside I used to love muscles, now if I eat them i’ll be turning myself inside out for hours the next day.

    Cheese until Uni days – when tolerated due to lack of choice- then living in France – adored since then. Only “introduced” to haloumi about 4 years ago. How did I live without that grilled before??

    Haggis until Uni too!!

    I don’t know if I ever actually hated pizza, but when I was a kid I decided I did- I might have never even tasted it. Then I discovered it as adult and zomg, food of the gods. Then I had to go on a gluten free diet 😆

    Blue cheese
    Goats cheese

    Rice and mince pies. I didn’t eat mince pies because uncooked mincemeat looks like it has rice in it and all my childhood mince pie experiences were with homemade ones.

    tomatoes – still not keen on raw but cooked into things, fine.
    Cheese.
    And therefore pizza. Love it now

    Onions. Still don’t like them raw
    Curry. Going to university in Bradford knocked that on the head, thankfully
    Cabbage. Best served raw in a salad on a chicken tikka pitta bread kebab type thing

    Mashed potatoes. Used to hate them as a kid. At school they were lumpy and my mums were terrible.

    Yes to olives, mussels and prawns.

    Mushrooms too.

    Oh and can I just say marzipan, proper marzipan, not that over sweet sickly yellow goop that gets draped over christmas cake, is brilliant.

    Cheese and poppadums. I never used to eat curry either because it made me ill a couple of times but I love it now.

    I’m pretty tolerant of most things apart from savoury things that are sweet I.e. Parsnips. Oh and fray bentos pies. They can sod right off!

    There’s nothing that really stands out for me other than Leffe oddly.

    Didn’t get it at first, thought it was like remnants super, love it now, brun mostly, but it’s not my favourite belgie.

    Ah yes I find parsnips a bit weird. Sweet veg, what’s that all about? Mind you, I ate them all yesterday.

    Whisky , real beer (where I came from you got Tennant’s or 80 shilling on tap and bottles were seen as posh -sad to say weatherspoons coming to town was a blessing)

    Olives, anchovies, prawns , scrambled egg, garlic, pickled gherkins and good sauerkraut

    Things I still don’t like.- aubergine , courgette, plantain , Papaya.

    Curry and lasagne.

    Don’t like pasta on its own, but a lasagne is good.
