I used to hate most veggies growing up. Things like peas mostly... but now that I'm an adult, I seem to tolerate them a lot more. It was somewhat the same with Spinach. I used to hate it until my mom told me that I needed to eat it if I wanted to grow big and strong like Popeye... ever since then, I absolutely LOVE spinach! :3

What about you?

A lot of stuff, I was an extremely picky eater as a kid. The most egregious example is Brussel sprouts though, I could (and have done) have an entire meal made only with Brussel sprouts, I love them.

Not food but I remember absolutely despising soda as a child.

if anything, I have more foods that I liked as a child that I began hating as an adult, haha.

Pretty much this, ironically except for potatoes. I don't love them, or even like them most of the time, but I can tolerate them in way more forms now.

i made a conscious choice once to start liking coffee even though it was awful, i was 13 i believe. Nowadays it is not possible to properly describe me without including the word coffee somewhere.

the main thing that comes to mind are certain veggies - such as spinach, artichokes, asparagus, brussel sprouts, bok choy, cauliflower, scallions, green beans, eggplants, squash

used to dislike them as a child mainly because of 'bad influence' - family members and friends told me that it tasted of 'boring sour water with no taste to it" - hey, back then I used to believe it, after a while seeing it a lot, and over years with my health conditions, and growing fascination with geography, includes trying out various world cuisines - I learn that those green veggies are really good and healthy for the body, if prepared correctly it can be super healthy and delicious

with my curiosity, I gave some a try, expecting that "sour taste" - to my surprise I loved them
especially true with spinach, its now my most favorite and requested veggie

Sashimi! While I always loved sushi as a kid, the texture of raw fish definitely weirded me out and I only ate rolls with cooked stuff or vegetables in them, but I think in my early-to-mid teens it kind of grew on me, and I really like sashimi and raw fish now. Beef tataki, too.

I was a weird kid I guess, I actually loved vegetables and still do. I preferred veggies to meat and instead of the "finish your vegetables" demands my parents would have to make me eat meat.

A bunch of vegetables (green peppers and onions notably), spinach, mushrooms, sushi, and sashimi (maybe fish in general?) are all things that I said that i hated at a kid hahah. but now i often have most of these things (sides the fish) on things such a pizza and subs. in fact i know i largely prefer spinach over lettuce now.

Fried eggs and green beans. I was traumatised in a summer camp when I was 7 but I have slowly grown to tolerate all of them.

Also my usual menu includes far more veggies and fish than any kid would enjoy.

Most leafy greens especially spinach. I used to avoid salads and greens like spinach, kale, lettuce, and cabbage cause I thought the texture was too weird. But now I realize with just the right amount of added flavors they can be pretty good. I think canned spinach is what put me off to spinach at first cause it looked like green vomit and smells awful but once I gave the fresh kind a try I realized it was only the canned kind thats horrible. And now one of my favorite things to buy at work is the chopped kale pasta salad. The basil dressing makes everything pop more and I love sun-dried tomatoes.

Celery. Hated the texture as a kid, but I grew to tolerate eating it especially with fried rice.
