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

[starseed galaxy auticorn]

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

im sad to inform that every food that ive hated as a kid i still hate as an adult

especially potatoes

 

[budube]

Same as above except that I don't hate potatoes

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.

Asian food I used to hate as a kid and now I cannot live without it

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.

 

[pastelspectre]

I'm still a v picky kid mostly bc of textures and stuff

but, uh its not food rather than a condiment but..mayo? I used to hate it as a kid and now I like it a lot.

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.

brussel sprouts and avocadoes! hated them as a kid but once I got older something 'clicked' and now I adore them.

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.

 

[alisaie]

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.

 

[Corrin]

I can tolerate much more veges than I used to!

 

[Alex]

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.
