What foods do you love you were once hesitant to eat?

For me, Cottage Cheese. It always looked so gross to me. After actually trying it, I can't get enough of the stuff. Mixing it with fresh fruit is awesome.

So, as the title says, what foods?

 

[NecroJoe]

I'll usually eat anything I can get past my gag reflex...however, there are a lot of minor things I can't do...cottage cheese being one of them. I had some bad seafood once like 10 years ago, so now even walking past a seafood restaurant makes me not feel so hot.

Hmmm... I've never been very hesitant about trying any foods. I decide whether or not I like food based on taste. The only case I can think of is salad. When I was younger, I refused to try it, but now I like it.

I used to dislike anything with tomatoes in it. Now, I can eat them as long as they're prepared, as in sauce or soup. I still have a gag reflex to eating them straight, it must be to do with the smell and and juice running everywhere.

Octopus.

I have a few which I used to despise which I now really like - olives, salt and vinegar flavour chips and miso soup amongst others. It was a matter of forcing myself to eat them until I started enjoying them, which isn't as hard as it seems. Right now I'm trying to make myself like raw capsicum. I don't mind it grilled but raw it just has such an unappealing taste. I put it in a salad on friday night and tried to eat a couple of pieces but I gave up because I didn't want to ruin my whole meal. I'm sure I'll come round to it eventually though, I haven't failed yet to make myself like a food.

Eggplants, for some odd reason. When I reached a certain age, I tried it again and loved it. Probably when I tried it as a child, it was not cooked properly.

1. Cheese - especially smelly French stuff
2. Mushrooms when I was little
3. Eggs - again when I was little

Blue Cheese - My father loved blue cheese and as a little kid I would get sicken by the idea of eating something like that. But as I got older and my dad keep trying to to feed it to me now I love blue cheese.

Everything. Almost ...

I used to be a "picky eater" as child and teenager wich made me also refuse to try new stuff. Now, I?m quite the opposite, always trying new stuff (if it?s not too bitter - still don?t like MEGA-bitter stuff) when I can get my hands on it.
So I could make a long list of things I used to not eat and now do eat ... 2/3 of all vegetables ... half of all meat ... all fish (when not in fishstick form) or seafood ... but I?ll just leave it at saying "everything" ...

Peppers and Onions.

My mom doesn't like them so I never had a chance to try them and just sort of built up this image in my head of peppers and onions being gross. When I joined scouts though you have to eat what they give you and when your really hungry you don't really care what's in your food. Now I eat them with everything.

 

[bartboy9891]

Cottage cheese for me too. I used to think it was gross but now I eat it every day.

 

[Clockwerk]

Asparagus and broccoli, I used to spit in my napkin when I was little and no I love it.

 

[The_Finn]

uh... the only thing i don't eat is bananas as a result of an unfortunate food poisoning incident when i was like 4 years old... other than that i am always down for trying new stuff... Like that bizarre foods guy only less fat and balding

 

[Rokovak]

Broccoli, anchovies, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus, gorgonzola (still strange in a way but I'm slowly adjusting to it), mussels, and that's all I can think of for now.

 

[Ramseus]

Fish. I didn't like it when I was a wee boy, now I can't get enough

 

[Jacobfox]

Sushi and Indian food.

When I was little both scared me. Now they're probably my two favorite types of food.

 

[Pedrocas]

Sushi.

 

[MadCow809]

asparagus
