What food did you dislike at first...?!


Question: What food did you dislike at first!.!.!.!?
but with repeated tasting you actually starting liking it!?
For me it's two things!.!.!.
Olives-----took years of occasional tasting and one day the 'this is not so bad effect' kicked in and now I eat them all the time!.
Flan-----when I first tasted it , the sweet taste was too overwhelming and the flavor bothered me!. Now I not only eat it, but make it every couple months for family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Asparagus!. I wouldn't eat it once when I was kid, and my uncle got mad because he knew I'd never tried it, and he was saying "How could you say you don't like it if you don't try!" Well!.!.!.I tried it many years later, and I love it!. also!.!.!.!.shrimp cocktail!. My parents used to make it every New Year's Eve, and I thought it was the most horrible thing anyone could ever eat!. Now, it is a most requested appetizer from me, when I ask people what I can bring!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Broccoli
spaghetti squash
coffee
banana bread
chinese food
mushrooms
green peppers

I was fed a very limited diet as a child growing up and had to learn to try new things once I grew up!. There's plenty of other things, I just can't think of them because so many things I eat all the time now that I never was exposed to as a child!.

It's true that there are many foods that may at first seem undesirable, but you can learn to like them!.

Not successful:
beets
zucchini
eggplant
lima beansWww@FoodAQ@Com

Eggplant/aubergine!. My mother only ever served it breaded and fried and I thought it was awful!. When I discovered there are many ways to cook it, and it's better "stewed" in a sauce like tomato sauce or whatever, I began to enjoy it!. It's also better chopped very small so it cooks completely, undercooked eggplant/aubergine can have a bitter taste and give you severe indigestion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

SO many things were like that for me:

Olives
Cottage Cheese
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Sardines
Eggplant
Spinach
Peanut Butter
