Food aversions no more

[fuzzyjay]

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.

Nope, I still hate the vast majority of foods I hated as a child.

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.

I like carrots cooked with dill, but I still dislike dill pickles.

I don't know what threw the switch with me for cilantro. I really like it now... but see above for how I used to think about it.
