Ask Lemmy

Kale, because my parents had no idea how to cook it. When I make it myself it's awesome.

School food ruined so many things for me. I used to hate rice and gyros but they are really tasty if prepared well

I didn't like cottage cheese until I was 38. I kept trying it, not sure what changed.

Tomatoes. I disliked them for a long time but a few years ago I tried them again. I don't remember how I made that decision - it may have been from forgetting to ask for no tomatoes on a burger but I ended up trying them more and came to like them. I don't like all tomatoes and not in everything, but I do enjoy them in sandwiches, burgers, and a few other things.

Sauerkraut! Used to be toilet cheese, now it's a delicacy that's earned its place on my sandwiches.

I'd say avocados, I still wouldn't eat a slice of avocado but a little guacamole on a taco or something is OK.

Avocado, young me thought it was a Kiwi so it might just have been the surprise of how different it was.

Hummus

As a kid i used to hate fuul with tamis (ful medames and naan bread) but now i can't get enough of it. basically legal crack.

Biscuits and gravy. It's the most American thing I do is pig out on some good biscuits and gravy.

I used to hate coconut anything, but now I like it.

I used to dislike anything battered, but now I absolutely love it! Battered fries/chips are honestly such a step up that I'll only eat normal ones if I don't have a choice

mustard. that weird sourness wasn't friendly to my kiddie tastes.

bread and butter. couldn't get the charm of it.

onions. shallots to be specific. it has that fragrance.

eggplant. mutabal is now great.

goya. still work in progress.

I have eaten 9 grapes.

I used to work as a sullen kid picking grapes for a winery in the summers. Hated the very thought so never ate any, not because I had any respect back then. As a poor kid, you aren't forced to try something if it would waste food: give it to the people whom it can benefit.

Now then, decades later, and we're touring another vineyard, me and my wife. "Here," says the tour guide, handing me one. "Try it."

Wife knows the deal - squick - but knows I won't be impolite while this man shows off his livelihood. Her eyes flash a dare but I didn't need that. I ate my first grape about 14 years ago from st hubertus winery in Kelowna. Didn't make a face so as not to offend. It was meh.

Since then I've had one or two more. And then we go to this fancy pants restaurant and the appetizer on the pricy-ass set menu is this Italian salad thing with all.kinds of green grapes. Fuck me but it was expensive. Ate the whole thing because we don't waste food in my family. She chuckled and rolled her gorgeous green eyes as she stole a few. That's the last 6.

So 9.

I may have had 1 hundred strawberries too. I'm livin it up.

Pickles because of spirolactone, but not as much anymore, don't got the balls for it anymore.

Ranch.
