What's the one thing you hated eating as a kid but now love? For me that's celery.
Brussel sprouts, asparagus.. love them now.
Same here! I have had asparagus prepared in a way l liked. Brussel sprouts wouldn't taste good, even if you wrapped it in bacon. Cat shit tastes good wrapped in bacon...........Please don't ask me how l know this.
@Sticks48 roasting veggies makes all the difference
@Green_eyes Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Never mind.
I still hate celery! That and radishes are the only things I never eat.
Broccoli.
Yum, broccoli with cheese sauce or a little lemon juice with olive oil and lots of salt.
@helionoftroy Oh you, you, you, chef, you!
I ate celery as a child (for some strange reason) but absolutely hate it now, so much I will pick it out of vegetable soup. I hated anything with mayo but now eat potato, macaroni salad, cole slaw, and put it on bread for sandwiches.
I like mayo, my son won't touch it though. He hates ketchup too. Only thing he likes is mustard.
Tomato’s. Not by themselfs but on a sandwich or burger. Hated it as a kid but love it now.
oh i still hate celery! but when i was a kid i also disliked liver (except chopped liver), lima beans and asparagus. i love them now (but not canned asparagus, thanks!)

Fried chicken livers are yummy, I'm not big on beef liver though. I used to have to cook it all the time for my ex husband.
@helionoftroy put the chicken livers in a blender with an apple and an onion. blend. pour into a pan whose bottom is just moistened with oil, once the oil is hot. cover. cook until it looks like a big crumbly pancake. turn out into a bowl. chill. add mayo. chopped liver! how did you cook the beef liver? maybe i know a better way?
g
@genessa basic seasonings, a little oil in the pan and cooked with caramelized onions
@helionoftroy ha, that's how i do it too. oh well! guess you just don't like beef liver -- although calf's liver is sweeter and thus better. but our taste buds ARE all different after all. i know people who adore celery. i never will.

Mushrooms
I love mushrooms!! I just bought a big container of dried wild mushrooms from Costco.
@helionoftroy yes I put them in everything now.
we never had mushrooms in my house because my mom said she didn't know how to tell if they were poisonous -- as if the people who provided the mushrooms went out in the woods looking for them instead of farming them! so weird. when i grew up and went out shopping i got my own. i knew her reasoning was nuts.

@genessa I want to learn how to forage for mushrooms. I have friends who live in the NC mountains and they post pictures of mushrooms they've picked.
@helionoftroy but you eat liver?
@Bigwavedave chicken liver and gizzards and my favorite...chicken hearts
