Horseradish

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Avocados (I think I just hated the way they looked)

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Wine. Cigarettes. Oh wait, you said food...

Pumpkin. Peas. Most vegetables actually, I love them now, and I've gone off sweets and cakes and junk.

OH GOD IM A FREAK.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Horseradish for me, too. I get downright livid now if I can't get it with my steak.

― maypang (maypang), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

bananas. I used to hate 'em, now we've reached an understanding. If they don't bother me, I don't bother them.

I was like 5 and they looked like slime.

Salads

― ModJ (ModJ), Monday, 23 February 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I got past the smell and now love kimchi/kimchee - my g/f won't let me eat it at her place because of the smell. I also like smoked eel now, as a kid my dad would always try to make me eat it, now I wish I could find it easier.

― svend (svend), Monday, 23 February 2004 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

broccoli, spinach, bananas, avacados, mushrooms.

― todd swiss (eliti), Monday, 23 February 2004 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Brussels sprouts (thanks to that Chris P fella)
jalapeño poppers
cantaloupe

Um, that's it, I think.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 23 February 2004 05:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Tomatos, red and green peppers, asparagus, onions and eggs.

That sounds like an interesting omelette right there.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 23 February 2004 05:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Pizza. The stuff they gave you in school made me think I was right and all others mistaken. Nowadays, I literally have to make a detour by the better establishments.

― jim wentworth (wench), Monday, 23 February 2004 06:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i used to really hate cheese when i was a kid and then i grew up and realised that processed cheese slices are not real cheese.

beef

― gaol clichy (clichy), Monday, 23 February 2004 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Gorgonzola - wouldn't touch it until I was in my mid 20s. Now I can't get enough. Also, avocados. What's up with that?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 23 February 2004 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Lentils, brussels sprouts, MUSHROOMS (gawd they are nice aren't they) and recently I have been able to get over the maggoty spring roll horror and eat a small tiny vegetable spring roll without wanting to puke.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 23 February 2004 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Lemonade

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 23 February 2004 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Olives. Capers. Walnuts.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I second gorgonzola...surely no kid wants mouldy cheese...raise you Whiskey

― winterland, Monday, 23 February 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

we had some roquefort the other day, it was so blue (apparently caused by pulling copper wires through it) that it set off my fillings as if I'd been chewing tin foil. It was still rather nice though.

― chris (chris), Monday, 23 February 2004 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

cantaloupe, feta cheese

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 23 February 2004 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

olives in a big big huge way.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 23 February 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

spinach, asparagus, fish, olives

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Olives for me too, except that, until a certain point, the only olives I'd had were from-a-can black olives, ugh. I still won't eat those though, but I be grubbin some kalamata mufuckaz!

I used to get violently upset at my mother for cooking cabbage - "YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE IT!" etc., but now I love the stuff.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh, cabbage otm.

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

tomato soup

― The Second Drummer Drowned (Atila the Honeybun), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Mushrooms. I disliked them as a kid partly because of their texture and partly because the word "mushroom" was the most often confused or mean replacement for my last name.

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

horseradish
real olives and not the crappy little salty bits they put in cans

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 07:13 (twenty-two years ago)

tomatos

― Sym (shmuel), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm with Sym. I re-entered the world of vegetables in my 20s and tomatoes were surprisingly easy.

― Le Coq, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 08:29 (twenty-two years ago)

tomato juice. i couldn't stomach a bloody mary until i was in my mid-20s. and now...

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Tomatoes straight up took me a while too. Now I try and nosh on one for dinner each day if I can.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

five years pass...

Recently: olives, feta cheese, artichokes.

― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 27 March 2009 09:55 (seventeen years ago)

broccoli, rice, curries, peas, pasta- all foods that i wouldn't eat until i was maybe 16-18 but are now staples.

― Anthony, I am not an Alcoholic & Drunk (darraghmac), Friday, 27 March 2009 10:07 (seventeen years ago)

i'm another tomato turn around. Now I adore them with most of my meals, have them on all my butties.

broccoli

― "Pieface Game Concept" (G00blar), Friday, 27 March 2009 11:33 (seventeen years ago)

Although this is a pretty good explanation of why it's so easy to hate:

Like all cruciferous vegetables–a family that includes the cabbage, the turnip and the Brussels sprout–broccoli is rich in a sulfurous compound called sinigrin. Mostly dormant, the pungent oil is released when the plant cells are crushed or otherwise damaged. Heat’ll do it. That soured omelet taste? The fart sauna that hovers over steamed broccoli? Sinigrin. Consider that to overcook broccoli is actually to break it.

― "Pieface Game Concept" (G00blar), Friday, 27 March 2009 11:35 (seventeen years ago)

French fries. Hated it as a kid.
Milk. Same.
Brussels sprouts. Not sure if I hated it as a kid. Probably.
Pralines and cake. I can tolerate it now. Used to throw up as a kid when they shoved it in my mouth.
