Foods You Hated When You Were Younger But Enjoy Now

Raisin bran or any "adult" cereal. On the flip side, I couldn't imagine eating a bowl of Lucky Charms or Corn Pops today and I grew up on that stuff.

 

fish, vegetables

 

Menudo! I thought the meat looked like Jello! Still does but it's good.

 

You wont believe this but I hated steak and beef when I was growing up. I was only able to eat chicken and pork but now I can't live with out any kind of cow product.

 

My Dad told me a while ago that you know you're old when Carrot and Raisin salad looks good.

I'm not quite there yet.

 

I didnt like Salmon growing up, till i learned how to cook it. How its one of my favorite foods. I hated broccoli, asparagus and most vegetables except green beans. Now I've learned to appreciate most foods. (Nutrition minor in college, lol)

 

Potatoes - didn't eat them until I was about 10. Mashed or baked. I did eat fries, though.

Onions - still don't care for them much, but I can eat them on certain things now. Still prefer not to have them.

Still can't eat olives, Sloppy Joe's (don't like whatever the spice is in the sauce), and most types of nuts (Peanuts and Pecan Pie are the only exceptions).

 

I started eating that as a kid and actually don't like it as much as I used to. its quite tasty

 

Fish.

I hated fish so much when I was young. I couldn't stand the stuff but now I crave it all the time.

 

You just figured out much you love to put fish sticks in your mouth.

 

I have never liked cooked fruit. Consequently, I detest most pies except for pecan and banana cream. Apple Pie? Gross.

I can appreciate a good peach cobbler now, but it's still not terribly appealing.


Never liked cheesecake when I was a kid. Now I enjoy a really good cheesecake.

 

There were a few Chinese dishes that my parents made that I didn't like but now do. I didn't really like the clear mung bean noodles and Bok Choy but now like both. I've never been a big fan of eggplant and generally don't like it done Chinese style which my parents made when I was a kid but I like eggplant parmesan and Babaganouche.

 

Have you ever tried grilled fruit?

 

Ya I like putting fish sticks in my mouth. Why?

 

I couldn't eat any meat that wasn't medium-well to well done. Now I go to a place like Rafain and have managed to scarf down stuff as raw as medium-rare to medium. I still don't like medium-rare, and don't bother bringing rare to me. If I wanted to eat that, I'd just start gnawing on a steak on the way out of the grocery store. lol.

 

Seafood. Love me some fish. And crab.

King Crab, and Mahi Mahi are some of the best flavors ever.

 

Not that I can recall, no.

 

South Park

 

Onions use to hate 'em but, onions make my food taste better.

Something that I still can't eat would be ground beef HATE it...

 

If you like cooked fruit now you might like it also if you don't like pies because of the gooey texture you can get roughly the same flavor as pies but with a different texture from grilled fruit.

Just a suggestion for something to try sometime. I started grilling fruit a few years back and love it.
