Swiss cheese
Wine
Have always had a pretty broad palate but swiss cheese I couldn't like until I was older, and could taste its flavor relationship to good Parmesan, the nuttiness.
Wine I made a conscious effort this year, that wasn't a maturity thing, it was a project but have found several I actively enjoy rather than just barely tolerate.
Oh, and turnips - I didn't like them, then I enjoyed them raw with dips, now I do like them raw or cooked.

I hated sea food as a kid, and still mostly do, but now I can stand shrimps and mussels.
And vegetables too, like a lot of people (apart from pumpkins and stuff like that, those are still nightmare for me)
Gumbo. My mom made it a few times and I always hated it. Turns out she wasn’t making it correctly until I had my extended family make it the way our family did from Louisiana and now I can’t get enough of the stuff.
My family goes all out on gumbo, making a pot that will cost around $400 (pre-pandemic pricing, not sure how much it went up since) but have every little thing everyone wants from shrimp and sausage to chicken and all the little fixings in it.
I’ve never had a real gumbo, but it’s something I absolutely want to try!
It’s one of those things you have to try homemade, unfortunately. The only restaurant I somewhat trust is my aunt’s restaurant and even then it’s still not as good as homemade! But it comes close.
I’ll send you an invite next time we have one lol
i used to hate peanut butter. idk why
I have always loved peanut butter, but it’s gotta be creamy.
i prefer crunchy but i have a large gap between two molars and one time a peanut got stuck there and wouldnt come out so i cant do crunchy anymore
I fucking love Cauliflower, I thought I didn't like it because I grew up poor and didn't really get fancy veggies
Pig and chicken feet. Fat is so good.
Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives
Cauliflower soup? I am guessing it’s a creamy soup? I’ve never heard of that one before.
I agree with the rest, especially blue cheese!
Not 100% sure of the ingredients, but yes, it's creamy. Involves a lot of milk, that'sall I know as I make it from these portioned bags with powder. Topped with a litte bit of bacon.
Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.
I don’t know that I’ve ever had grits. I know my dad loved them though so maybe I’ll give them a shot some time.
Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!
Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.
Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.
