I hated peas when I was a kid. Then I realized it was just the way my parents made them. They'd get canned peas, and then boil them until they were gray. 8^P One day I tried peas -raw-, just out of the pod, and they are wonderful that way! Crunchy and sweet. Problem is, fresh raw peas are only available for a short time each year.
I didn't think I liked broccoli either, but again, it was boiled until limp. Lightly steamed in the microwave it's pretty good.
Before going vegetarian I only ate a handful of fruits and vegetables.
Some of the fruits I once really hated, and now love are:
Apples, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, oranges, and clementines
Vegetables
Cucumber, broccoli, spinach, green beans, peas, zucchini, cauliflower, kale, sweet potatoes, peppers, and squash.
Collards - but I do need to sprinkle them with pepper vinegar, for it to give me the love I crave.
When I was a toddler and it was on my plate I refused to eat it - I reportedly said it "tastes like a bunch of green" - no "s" at the end of the word, just the color. No wonder I didn't like it, must have associated it with my Crayola Crayons.
mothers recollection
Spinach. My mom would always make canned spinach and I couldn't even swallow it without gagging and nearly throwing up. I still can't stand cooked spinach. But, I really love raw spinach, especially in a spinach salad with walnuts, feta or goat cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
I never liked salads when I was younger. Or broccoli, squash, or peppers. I'm just now starting to like carrots, but I have to eat them with ranch. And I use to hate watermelon too, but now I can't wait for summer so I can have them! ^-^
