Foods You HATED As A Kid, But Like Now

[debilorrah]

I was a horrid child to have to feed. I hated everything that wasn't pasta with white sauce.

Now I love green beans, broccoli, salads of all kinds, grape tomatoes, mushrooms - EVERYTHING! I was a very picky eater and now I will try anything once, and twice if I liked it. Escargot is one that most won't try and I am SOOO glad I did!

I used to love dairy until the age of 6. I haven't touched a single thing with lactose in it since

Liver and Onions... When I was growing up my dad loved it so mom made about every other week, it made me gag when I smelled it. Now days I crave it every couple months but I am the only one in the house that will eat it.

Lima beans were the worst thing imaginable. I don't know why I tried them as an adult I had such bad memories of them but they've morphed into being pretty good.
I had a young man working with me for a couple of years and he would not eat any vegetable except for maybe a slice of tomato occasionally, say on his burger. He was average weight. When he had his yearly physical the doctor told him he was malnourished! He was sooo embarassed.

I liked everything as a kid. During meal times my brothers and sisters passed all of their unwanted food to me so that I could eat it.

Except for liver, I have decided that cooked well, I like everything. I hated yellow squash, but my mother boiled EVERYTHING. She hated cooking and it showed.

Asparagus, fried eggs, chicken livers, and oysters are what I remember disliking as a child. They are now favorites.

Now I eat most anything that I can run down, except for a couple of allergies, and if it is prepared properly. I can choke down something like greasy overcooked cabbage or canned turnip greens, for example, but I love them when they are fresh and cooked to my taste.

Hated eggs now I like them! Hated oatmeal and raisins and I still hate them!

 

[Poulets De Cajun]

Cracker Jacks

Liver and onions and Brussels sprouts. I still hate olives in any form.

Anything else edible is fair game.
