I have always loved peanut butter, but it’s gotta be creamy.
i prefer crunchy but i have a large gap between two molars and one time a peanut got stuck there and wouldnt come out so i cant do crunchy anymore
I fucking love Cauliflower, I thought I didn't like it because I grew up poor and didn't really get fancy veggies
Pig and chicken feet. Fat is so good.
Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard. Dad was from Brooklyn and loved it, as I kid I just wanted the neon yellow stuff all my friends had. Now, many years later, I always have it in my fridge.
Spicy brown mustard is amazing!
Onions
Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.
Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.

- Brussel Sprouts: I tried them in a salad and fell in love with them instantly. Now they're included in every roast. They have to be fresh, because the frozen ones can just be mushy. And those little, crispy, flavorful leaves that fall off are just 🤌🏾
- Tomatoes: I won't just bite into one, but I've been making them more prominent in my dishes. I mostly stick to the sundried variety, haven't been able to eat them raw.
- Mushrooms: I love them so much I don't understand why I hated them.
- Some Cheese: I general, I still would say I don't like cheese, but I've become more forgiving of mozerella, which was unheard of when I was a child. It's the only cheese that broke through.
Still don't like bacon though 🤷🏿♀️
Brussels sprouts used to taste different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_sprout#Contemporary_Brussels_sprouts
I used to be a picky eater, but years ago I decided that I wanted to like more food - - that life would be better if I actually enjoyed foods that I would otherwise have to suffer/avoid.
I started by putting small amounts of different ingredients in my dishes (when it made sense) and I quickly developed a taste for all of them.
(Only found out later that this was a great way to do it as your microbiom directly impacts your cravings).
Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, pickles, brussel sprouts, oysters, mustard are all things I now genuinely enjoy.
Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives
Cauliflower soup? I am guessing it’s a creamy soup? I’ve never heard of that one before.
I agree with the rest, especially blue cheese!

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.
Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.
Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!
grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.
I don’t know that I’ve ever had grits. I know my dad loved them though so maybe I’ll give them a shot some time.
Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

Pumpernickel & rye breads. Maybe it was the "brown bready thing must be chocolate" mentality of a kid or maybe just that it wasn't white bread. But damn if that isn't the most delicious shit for toast, bagels, and sandwiches.
Hummus. I have some textural food aversions. Mushed up doesn't usually cut it and so I 100% judged hummus on its look and smell. I gave it a shot a couple of years ago and I can't get enough of it. It took me until I was like 45!
