Ask Lemmy

i used to hate peanut butter. idk why

Pig and chicken feet. Fat is so good.

I fucking love Cauliflower, I thought I didn't like it because I grew up poor and didn't really get fancy veggies

Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard. Dad was from Brooklyn and loved it, as I kid I just wanted the neon yellow stuff all my friends had. Now, many years later, I always have it in my fridge.

Onions

I used to be a picky eater, but years ago I decided that I wanted to like more food - - that life would be better if I actually enjoyed foods that I would otherwise have to suffer/avoid.

I started by putting small amounts of different ingredients in my dishes (when it made sense) and I quickly developed a taste for all of them.

(Only found out later that this was a great way to do it as your microbiom directly impacts your cravings).

Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, pickles, brussel sprouts, oysters, mustard are all things I now genuinely enjoy.

Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives

Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!

Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.

Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.

Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.
