I used to be a picky eater, then as an adult i realized its not the ingredients themselves but a mix of all kinds of sensory input.

There are a lot of tastes that are nice in small amounts but i cant have em full on.

Onions went from hated to favorite after i learned this.

If you have foods you never liked, give em a chance in a completely different format and amount

I hated a runny yolk growing up and I only tolerate them now, but I've always loved solidly cooked eggs. Fried, hard boiled, scrambled. I know a lot of TV and internet chefs say the best scrambled eggs straddle the line between runny and gently cooked, but I'd rather have them overcooked and chewy. I don't currently have an obvious favourite format, but as a child I loved hard boiled eggs so much my parents would use it as a treat. If I was misbehaving they'd threaten to withhold my daily egg, and it would always work.
