Ask Lemmy

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

No, if anything it's the opposite, there are foods (mostly junk foods and beverages) I used to love as a kid but now I find revolting. Most other veg and controversial foods like olives or blue cheese were always on my yes list though.

I do have some things i didn't like that now I tolerate, but saying that I love them or like them is a stretch. I think coffee is one, I drink some and can even get addicted to it but I don't consider myself a lover. Another example is eggplant, I used to hate it as a kid and now I tolerate it without loving it.

Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

As a kid, I thought I hated steak, but it turns out, my mom was just really bad at cooking steak.

Vegetables in general.

Except Lima beans. You can go FUCK YOURSELF!!

Sauerkraut was just too overwhelming as a kid, but I love it now. Some other foods were the same, but that is the one I remember.

I liked black olives as a kid, then hated them in my teen years through early 30s and find them tolerable now.

A lot of people hated vegetables as a kid if they were made bland by boiling, and like them a lot more when they have them roasted or just with some seasoning. I remember having bland steamed brussel sprouts at home which are just awful but one of my friends roasted them and they were awesome. My dad cooked up some awesome seasoned steaks and that friends parent bought the wrong cut and cooked it well done so it opened my eyes to how much of a difference preparation makes.

Sour cream. As a kid, I didn't like it. Now it's essential on my tacos, pierogi, and chili.

Asparagus.

Used to hate it, had it once in season in Germany, it was so fresh and delicious, I learned how to enjoy it there.

Both chili and vegetable soup.

Never cared for either growing up, but now they're both comfort food, especially on cold days.

Fish in general. As a kid I absolutely disliked the strong taste and oily texture.

I'm very open with my foods and like to retry everything I disliked in the past, things I still don't like are Olives (weird metallic taste I don't like), Tomatoes (slimy texture at normal size, cherry tomats are fine), unaltered boiled egg yolks (so dry, so so dry), Oatmeal (texture issue), and a couple others I can't think of at the moment. I enjoy most of the texture based ones as soon as the texture is altered.

Brussel Sprouts. Absolutely hated them as a kid, which I blame my mother for. She "steamed" them in the microwave in a dish with water. Turned them into a slimy, horrible mush. My wife sautes them in a pan, with bacon. It's one of my absolute favorite dishes now.

Black coffee. Used to only drink coffee with creamer or lattes/cappuccinos, but now I drink black because I can't stand the sugar crash

Brussel Sprouts with black pepper 🤤👌

Same with vegetables, but also steak and bacon. I hated steak and bacon as a kid idk what was wrong with me
