Is there a food you hated as a kid, but now love as an adult/got older?

    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?
     
    fuckin mac n cheese i have always had an issue with textures and i still kind of do with pasta but not nearly as bad as when i was a kid but i got over it when i was about 10 or so i think (or at least, i WOULD eat mac n cheese but i was picky about the pasta used in it) and now if you look at my hips and thighs you can tell i don't skip pasta
     
    Coffee ♥♥
     
    I used to hate eating pizza when I was a kid and this was because I had an eating disorder. Now that I am older, I slightly grew out of my eating disorder and I now like eating pizza.
     
    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.
     
    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
     
    Loads. I was so fussy as a kid but these days I'll try pretty much anything as long as it's vegetarian.

    I love vegetables. All vegetables. They're my favourite. Younger me would never imagine having the kind of diet I have these days.
     
    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.
     
    Yes! I used to really dislike fish and now it's one of my favourite meals. Also, I used to hate mussels but I love them now. And I used to think squash was the most revolting vegetable on earth, but I love it 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.
