Hi players. When we were young, there were always foods that we hated to eat, but our parents insisted we eat it. My question is what food did you hate as a child, but like now? I hated tomatoes, but now, I put them on all my sandwiches. It is the little things that count in our lives.
Shellfish, refused point blank to eat anything in a shell. Didn’t eat any until a holiday in my late 20s. Cant get enough now

When my mother shopped, she would always ask what I wanted to eat.
My father would never ask and just buy what he wanted and share that with the family.
He bought a lot of chop suey and butter pecan ice cream in his day.
The chop suey was ok but the butter pecan ice cream was always a disappointment.
However, now I like butter pecan ice cream.
Keto keeps it away nowadays but yeah, good question bringing back memories!
The kid in the picture would rather have chocolate or vanilla.

Hi swamptrash. I have to admit that I have never eaten shellfish before. Looks like I am missing out on something good.
Hi Excaliburns. I have never had butter pecan ice cream before either. Boy, do I feel sheltered.
Hi lildevil109. I was given jalapeno’s on a hoagie, without my knowledge, and I was definitely surprised. Way too hot for me. After that, I made sure to check all the ingredients that were in my sandwiches. Did not want anymore surprises.
Hi Clueless. I, too, hated brussel sprouts when I was young, but now I love them. It seems funny to me that people dislike certain things when they are young and then love those same things as they get older.
Hi Konrad. I have never had nor heard of surstromming before. They remind me of sardines and I don’t like them either. Since they smell bad, I would not be able to get them past my nose.
I want to thank all of you for participating in this forum topic. I am learning a lot from your answers. See you all on the tables.

The thing about brussel sprouts, as a kid I only really remember it as a foul squishy overcooked mess, which was a bit off putting for life. It took me a while to appreciate them
But nice and fresh and slightly undercooked, fine vegetable especially at Christmas
I agree with you swamptrash. It took me a long time to acquire the taste of the brussel sprouts. Now, I can’t get enough of them.
