Pumpernickel & rye breads. Maybe it was the "brown bready thing must be chocolate" mentality of a kid or maybe just that it wasn't white bread. But damn if that isn't the most delicious shit for toast, bagels, and sandwiches.
Hummus. I have some textural food aversions. Mushed up doesn't usually cut it and so I 100% judged hummus on its look and smell. I gave it a shot a couple of years ago and I can't get enough of it. It took me until I was like 45!
Brussel sprouts used to be truly awful, made me literally wretch. Now I eagerly make and order them as a bar snack.
To be fair there are two reasons beyond my changing tastes for this. First, my mom liked to steam brussel sprouts whole and serve them with margarine, salt, and pepper, now I generally cold sear them or roast them in the oven with much better seasoning. Maybe even some bacon pieces and blue cheese mixed in. Second, brussel sprouts did actually change over time to get less bitter and awful since I was a kid.
True, true. I also roast mine now, usually with just salt and olive oil. This is true for broccoli, as well. In this case, not boiling frozen garbage broccoli and instead steaming it just until bright green made a huge difference. The only thing that just changed for me was cilantro. Even as an adult I used to hate it but now love it. That one I have no explanation for.
I hated strawberries growing up. I would do anything and everything to not eat them. As an as adult I finally tried them again and loved them. It turns out I just hated low quality or not ripe strawberries
For sure. There is a big difference when you get them in season and perfectly ripe. So sweet!
I used to and still kind of hate most fruits, because I'm way up north. But once we get stock from Florida I get like 10 pounds of the stuff
