Sprouts.....I hated them when I was young but I could eat them all day long now, especially raw, I just have to make sure there is a window open.

I didn't like rich dairy products like ice cream, cream or butter. Now I am a heart attack waiting to happen

[Arfie]

Apparently as a kid (upto about age 7 or so) I didn't like sweets or icecream, mum tells me that when the icecream van used to come around and al the kids ran in begging for money for an icecream, I used to come and ask for some bread and butter

However now, I can eat chocolate until I am sick and icecream by the tub and I have the figure to prove it

Oddest thing though is beetroot, I used to love it, then hate it, then love it again, then hate it again, then in my late 20's I started getting a craving for it and I now eat it quite a lot especially in the summer on salads.

I loathed spinach and onions as a child, now I enjoy them. To be fair, I had only ever had canned spinach in my youth, and my mother hated onions and constantly told me they were 'yucky', back then.

I actually also loved chocolate then, and whent through about a 6 year period where I thought chocolate was horrible... between 21 and 27, I think.

I couldnt stand tomatoes as a child but they are now very much part of my staple diet, we eat a lot of tomato based sauces and dishes as well as having them raw in salads, roasted with other mediteranian vegetables or grilled with fry ups or steak.
I still cant stand cucumber, just the smell of a freshly cut cucumber sends me out of the room and should i be unfortunate enough to accidently get a piece in my mouth the taste makes me sick.

I'm not a great chocolate fan but chocolate based deserts are something completely different, anything with the words "triple chocolate mousse" mentioned and i'll eat a family sized portion to myself.

I take it you don't feed it to your fish then???

Peanut butter used to make me gag - even just the thought of it.

Now I love it (infrequent and in small quantities).

Didn't particularly like ice cream (still don't like it - nothing to do with teeth or pain) - but wouldn't say hate. Funny that - coming from a hot country.

Nothing else really. Pretty easy going. Apart from stuff like McDonalds, KFC - just at the thought of it

When the ice cream van used to come round us, Joe used to hide - maybe it was something to do with me saying "that is where the children eating goblins live" - but you never know.

like you are with beetroot, I am with mussels, sometimes love them, other times hate them, odd isn't it?

When I was a child I hated tomato soup, and I like it now, but the other way round, when I was a child I loved cabbage and now I hate it (though I still love spouts).

[Cheffi]

Sprouts, mushrooms. Still can't stand olives altho I love the smell of them.

[AMS]

I used to hate onions and garlick but now I can eat them 24/7. When I cook everything is seasoned with garlick salt and/or onion powder Also olive oil. I cant get enough of pan-fry zucchini and onions cooked in olive oil loaded with garlick salt.

Weird, I know.

Bloo lives in London now but is from South Africa, hence the hot country reference.

Never liked oatmeal as a child --- I preferred wheat germ. Now that I'm older, I find wheat germ disgusting and oatmeal yummy.

[debiasir]
