I will absolutely eat anything, at least give it a try. But, the 2 foods I despised as a child, and now love are sweet potatoes and poke sallet.

[RickM]

Cabbage. Mustard. Legumes of any sort.

[Tom]

Beets. But only one way. My Aunt Genowefa's shredded beet and horseradish salad. I'm still trying to perfect it. Practice, practice, practice...

[davids]

Spinach
Kale
Collard Greens

How our tastes change is one of the interesting things in life to me. Every 5 years or so I look up and realize that there are new foods that I love that I hated as a younger person.

Mustard is one example. At 10 I was scraping it off of my burger. In my late thirties, I started with some dijon and spicier mustards. Now I will even put yellow mustard on a hotdog.

Brussels sprouts. Puke-inducing when I was a kid. Now, can't get enough, especially when grilled with some olive oil.

Brussels sprouts. Puke-inducing when I was a kid. Now, can't get enough, especially when grilled with some olive oil.

Ditto. Definitely. It's nice that they're becoming popular in restaurants because now I get to try them regularly when we go out to make up for all those years of missed sprouts.

[Nierman]

Guacamole. Now I can even eat it on my Raisin Bran.

Mushrooms. Now I sacrifice hours of ride time and risk Lyme Disease to find maybe a dozen of them.

Beta vulgaris. Still vulgar.

[airedale]

Squashed avocado on toast, with pepper, lots of salt and lemon/lime.

[holliscx]

Right now cherries to tide me over until peach season.

[Rick Stevens]

Olives - can't get enough of them lately.

same here. Funny thing is my kids loved them from the first time they had them. I never really knew what the plant looked like until a neighbor's dog was running around with a brussels sprout stalk. Apparently they grow just fine here.

I also hated beets as a kid. I just hated the way they looked. Couldn't make me eat them.
