[Closed] Food that you once wouldn't eat, now you love

Olives I used to hate them I absolutely love them now

Sprouts. I love them roasted until almost black on the outside.

Cabbage. Boiled with fennel seeds and tossed in butter.

Hummus.
Whisky.

Olives (read that if you keep eating something you don't like, you'll like them....it worked)
Real Beer
Stilton

Pot Noddle 😥

Mushrooms.
Peas (although I still won't eat frozen peas - disgusting)

I never used to eat Eggs or Baked Beans. Bloody loves them I do now!

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.

Olives

Whisky, and marmalade.

Mustard
Olives
Nuts, couldn't stand them even in chocolate. Now I can't eat enough
Red wine

Eggs. Id never eat them in any form as a child. Now i have poached eggs every other day where possible.

Mushrooms

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!

like everything. always have.........except marzipan. vile stuff.

Tomatoes.

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!!

Olives....

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 😆

Olives
Blue cheese
Goats cheese

Still not grown into Whisky though and find it grim

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

Piccalilli - I used to think it looked like sick.

Sausages and avocado, not together but hated them both.

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.

Olives
Pesto/basil in general
Mince pies
Hummus
Guacamole
Marmite
Yellow mustard

Coffee (beverages allowed?)
Red Wine

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!

Any sort of rice except rice pudding.
Mushrooms.
Courgettes.

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.

remnants super

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

Tinned pineapple, until I tasted the real thing.

Peas

Olives ...

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.

olives.
tomato juice - well, grown to like at least!
and tomatoes
*black pudding*

still hate tea, marmalade, liver and baked beans though.

Coriander.

This is odd, as I was one of the people who experienced the aroma/flavour as soapy or gross and now somehow have changed into one of the people that think it tastes great.

I presume this means I have mutated.

Olives (again)
Many fish
Scrambled egg.

Will pretty much east anything now except bananas. Always hated them, the taste, smell and texture, knowing they were good bike fuel i have tried a few times again, but still can't east them, the smell really turns my stomach

Tried Stilton about 15 years ago- urgh vile.

Tried it last weekend- nomnomnom.

Olives after marrying someone with Greek family.

I do wonder why it seems to be a common theme, reckon it's probably to do with the availability of good Olives now rather than the tasteless black wax balls you used to get in a jar!

Peppers. Growing up as a kid in a family that thinks peppers to be (along with 99.9% of foodstuffs) to be 'foreign muck' it was a rare (usually accidental) occurrence if we got to try anything other than frozen beefburger or cottage pie. Veg was either boiled frozen peas and soft carrots or soft carrots and soggy white cabbage. Imagine my palate exploding when I tried some raw green pepper for the first time, circa 13/14 yrs old. My taste buds told my brain I was being poisoned. BLUERGH!

Making roasted red pepper and cauli soup for xmas meal starter. yum.

Prawns.
Sweet potatoes.
Mushrooms.
Parsnips.
Sure there will be more in the future, in contrast used to love cake and fondant icing now really starting to go off it.

I now like marmite

Cheese.
Whiskey.
Chocolate.
Coffee.

Thought they were all disgusting until I stopped smoking 18 months ago, now it's my entire diet.

Costs me loads more than fags ever did though.
