Food aversions no more
I used to hate cilantro, now I really like it.
I used to hate olives, now I really like (most of) them.
I used to really hate pickles, now I really like (some of) them.
There are a few other examples of food aversions that I no longer have. Do you have any examples?
Looking at my examples, I see that they were aversions to taste rather than texture. In my experience talking to people, the aversions based on texture are the hardest to lose.

Beets were another thing that I didn't like growing up, but I love 'em now.

It would be interesting to see a similar post on "fears". For instance, I used to be afraid of big dogs, horses, down escalators and needles. I've now conquered my fear of all of them.
You got me thinkin'! Always a good thing:)
HUGS!

The one exception is salad. I discovered I like ranch dressing, so now if there's enough dressing and croutons, I'll pick through a basic green salad. Without a decent dressing, I still don't see the point in eating tasteless green leaves.
I loathe cilantro. I like pitted black olives (always have). I've always liked non-dill pickles - I hate dill almost as much as I hate cilantro.

These days, I could easily eat my weight in either.

I always hated egg yolks and eggs that weren't completely solid...then I discovered over my first eggs benedict that runny yolks actually didn't taste bad at all.
My grandparents always had bockwurst sausage for breakfast...when I was a kid, the stuff was absolutely VILE liver sausage with lots of parsley; they cooked up very taut in their casings to a hideous grey-tan. I bravely tried a nibble again when I was a teenager (always spat it out in earlier years) and discovered that I suddenly loved the stuff. It's now part of my family's traditional Christmas brunch...and I found a specialty butcher shop here in Chicago that makes it.

But there's still plenty of other stuff I (still) loathe. :)

Things I used to love when I was a child and I can't stand any longer: snails, rabbit, beef liver, lamb testicles, any animal brain (all meats).
Things I hate since I was a child: Brussels sprouts, artichokes (except canned hearts), fish inners (my mother has a tendence of cooking fish without removing the inners of fish... and I just hate that - I spend hours cleaning fish before cooking it).
