What Foods from Childhood Did You Despise That You Now Love?

[sdb]

Olives, fish, sprouts. Other veg that used to be served boiled until people realised there were other things you could do with them.

 

Can't think of anything I've gone off really, sadly. Mushrooms remain the food of the devil.

Eggs. I swear they used to be eggier

brussel sprouts

Yes. Hated them as a kid.... now can't have roast dinner without them. Also... they are Christmas dinner essentials

Shite French pastries with absolutely no nutritional benefit and once they're warmed up they collapse like Jack Grealish

Add Jam/Nutella and that’s all the nutrition you need baby. 
 

There really isn’t much I won’t eat to be honest, I think it’s because my sense of smell isn’t very good.

Someone told me once that if you eat something you don’t like ten times you end up liking it.

Pretty much anything, I would eat very little when I was young.

 

I would only eat chips, or roast dinner.

 

But I used to get shouted at to eat my dinner, so I learned just to eat anything, even if you don't like it.

 

Now I will eat pretty much anything, apart from canned peas.

[Benguin]

Wine, olives and a lot of cheeses.

Oh man you've just reminded me of one other thing I flat out won't eat, and that's tinned processed peas. They taste like farts, don't know how anyone can enjoy them

 

Oddly though, tinned mushy peas are fantastic, even the really cheapo supermarket ones

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Wouldn't go near a mushroom when I was a youngun and now I have them 2/3 nights a week. Not quite at the stage to just eat a portobello instead of a steak but I'll have them in everything else. 

[RoboFox]

Mushrooms. I think it was the texture I didn't like as a young'un then just went mushroom mental. You want to try RoboFox's 5 mushroom risotto. Damn. 

 

Also beetroot. My old man loves it, and grows it and pickles it himself. Again, not sure why but wasn't keen on it when I was younger now I can't get enough of it. Mature cheddar and pickled beetroot is in the top #1 of sandwich combos. 

 

Never really hated any food though TBF. Apart from anything that comes from a goat. Goat's cheese. Goat's butter. **** off, goats. 

[MonkeyTennis?]

I was quite fussy as a kid but now I eat most things. I suppose the biggest change has been fish and seafood, which I disliked and avoided right into my 30s, but which I love now. 

[z-layrex]

-Sprouts, sweet mother of God sprouts.

-Mango chutney.

-Pineapple (not on pizza, that's for sex pests).

 

However I still hate celery. I've also started to dislike Salmon.

Must say same for me, especially Red Onion. Lovely stuff.

Turkey Twizzlers. Randomly decided to buy a pack on a whim the other day and took one bite and chucked the box away after. I didn't think they tasted that bad when I was a kid lol. 

 

Edit: Clearly i have read the title the wrong way round

Mushrooms seems a popular one. I never really had a problem with them but I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about them as a kid either, these days a good pack of fresh closed cups or chestnuts is the first thing I'll look for at the shops.

 

Can't think of anything I've hated which I now like, still won't touch an olive or any cheese which sags or has mould in it.

I've not tried the new ones, but apparently the recipe is absolutely nothing like the one that Jamie Oliver got cancelled back in the good old days. Turkey Twizzler day was the best school dinner
