Hated olives as a kid but I think, looking back, it’s cos we ate crap olives. Y’know the ones from the jar. Will now only eat chilled olives or maybe ones in a big bowl from some expensive market or something if I win the lottery.

Top tip, Kalamata olives from M&S are the best available in the business.

Also didn’t like mouldy cheeses but cos of this thread I’ve decided I’m gonna put a layer of stilton on top of my veggie burger, under a layer of salsa cos I bought some and need to use it up. Not convinced these flavours will go at all but don’t really care come at me.

yeah, a burger with cheese and tomato - imagine!

WELL, firstly it’s a mexican bean burger with a bit too much cumin in for my liking (but they’re cheap so w/e), SECONDLY salsa is not just tomato, THIRDLY yes cheese and tomato and burgers are all very nice things I agree.

I used to reject coleslaw in all forms but am now happy to accept it into my life.

I think the tipping point was learning to make it myself.

Homemade coleslaw is the big furry bees knees and exactly the thing I love to comment on most at 7:20 in the morning.

I’m not convinced that this is as common as you make it sound.

Cheese in general for me. Don’t think I even liked cheese on toast when I was a kid.

Haven’t eaten yoghurt for 28 years since deciding it tasted like “face cream”. Addicted since January of this year. Yoghurts=my life.

Nah, our daughter calls olive grapes sometimes, and vice versa. It’s okay though because she really likes both.

I’ve just gone off yoghurt now, thanks.

Brussel Sprouts. Eat loads in the winter, mainly roasted with red onions and garlic but will eat them whatever way. Hated them until I was about 25

Tomatoes. Could tolerate pizzas and ketchup but that was about it (would have pasta totally plain which is mad thinking back). Sorted this out at about 12 years old.

Oh and until I went vegan dickhead loved eating blue cheese. I was a bit stoned one night at a friend’s when I was 18 and he brought out some Stilton as a snack, was unsure but he told me to go with it on some crackers. Taste sensation, good god, not for the pallet of a baby that’s for sure. My last foray into eating cheese was in murica when I had a blue cheese fondue. Was the greatest thing I ever tasted by some distance and was laughing in joy eating it, I probably looked batshit. After that was like “peaked at cheese, never eating it again will just be a disappointment”.

Spicy food as well, would totally fuck off currys as a child. Now the hotter the better pretty much and will always go with the spicy option if there is one is restaurants.

Only food that I’ve always hated is meringues. Crunchy chalky but chewy texture does my head in, urgh.

Food stuff I’ve gone off after initially loving it - tobasco. Nothing to do with the heat but the aftertaste, feels really off and nasty to me. Sriracha all day.

to;dr - used to be a baby, no longer a baby

Blue cheese, olives, whisky, black coffee… Typical things you hate as a kid but grow into as you age. Also, over time, gone from disliking most vegetables to liking most vegetables.
