Curries, up until a few years ago. What was I thinking?!

Then I'm super weird - I don't like nuts of any kind except peanuts

I've always been pretty open about food so everything I hated before I still hate now.

I went off tequila for years b/c it just turned my stomach, but margaritas are once again my friend

& I recently discovered how fabulous mango is - I used to just eat mango flavored stuff but never the raw fruit, I missed out for so many years!

& the thought of apples w/ peanut butter was the stupidest shit to me, but now I really like it

Whiskey has grown on me. I couldn't take it as anything more regular than a rare novelty, but I can drink it now where before it was like tasting rubbing alcohol.

onions
coffee
beer
wine
peppers
certain cheeses
almonds (in fact, I used to hate ALL nuts, now I really love almonds and cashews and can at least tolerate most other nuts. walnuts used to make me shudder I hated them so badly. now I merely don't care for them.)

Hummus.
I use to hate the look and texture of it, and the name sounds so hippy 70's to me. But I tried it at a party, and now I love it!!

sextonseven said:

Gawd, just the smell of those is sickening

CarrieMpls said:

I should have said coffee too maybe I'll grow to like nuts too someday It would make life easier, everything has nuts in it

It's common for people to reject certain tastes in their childhood and then develop a love for them in adulthood.

There's a chemical in certain foods which tastes repulsive when you're an infant but affects adults less. I've just Googled and Glucosinolate is one of these compounds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...cosinolate

Glucosinolate is toxic in high doses. An adult would have to eat a lot of brussel sprouts before they became poisonous, but kids less so (obviously because they have a smaller body mass).

When kids don't want to eat their greens, give them some leeway. They're physiologically programmed to not like them! Give them a raw carrot or an apple to munch on instead.

Interesting post, GB. Thanks.

Which one? Both?

Coffee's another one... I never disliked it; just I could give or take a cup. It didn't matter. The last year or so, though... I GOTTA have a coffee each day. Although that could be the caffeine, maybe.

Alun. Are you still single? I'm tipsy and depressed. Again.

That's not an acquired taste! Everybody loves that stuff!

Alcohol (beer, especially). Avocado. Mushrooms.

MissEmeraldCity said:

Hey, for me, it was. I hated it with a passion for several years and, for the record, I was not the only one who did not like it.

Lammastide said:

Sushi
Tomatoes
Cantaloupe
Collard Greens

i used to really dislike artichokes, camomile/green tea and soy milk. now they're all heaven to me.
