Cilantro. I'm still not convinced that I'm not one of the people to whom it tastes like soap, but over the years I started to tolerate, then enjoy it.

You'd definitely know it if you were one the people who have that trait. It's like liking a bar of ivory soap.

Kale, because my parents had no idea how to cook it. When I make it myself it's awesome.

I didn't like cottage cheese until I was 38. I kept trying it, not sure what changed.

I'd say avocados, I still wouldn't eat a slice of avocado but a little guacamole on a taco or something is OK.

Tomatoes. I disliked them for a long time but a few years ago I tried them again. I don't remember how I made that decision - it may have been from forgetting to ask for no tomatoes on a burger but I ended up trying them more and came to like them. I don't like all tomatoes and not in everything, but I do enjoy them in sandwiches, burgers, and a few other things.

Sauerkraut! Used to be toilet cheese, now it's a delicacy that's earned its place on my sandwiches.

Avocado, young me thought it was a Kiwi so it might just have been the surprise of how different it was.

As a kid i used to hate fuul with tamis (ful medames and naan bread) but now i can't get enough of it. basically legal crack.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Mmmm smother it with garlic, cumin and some olive oil bro. Goes down beautifully

[–] Hominy_Hank@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Biscuits and gravy. It's the most American thing I do is pig out on some good biscuits and gravy.

I used to hate coconut anything, but now I like it.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I used to dislike anything battered, but now I absolutely love it! Battered fries/chips are honestly such a step up that I'll only eat normal ones if I don't have a choice

Pickles because of spirolactone, but not as much anymore, don't got the balls for it anymore.

mustard. that weird sourness wasn't friendly to my kiddie tastes.

bread and butter. couldn't get the charm of it.

onions. shallots to be specific. it has that fragrance.

eggplant. mutabal is now great.

goya. still work in progress.

While it is nice that you're getting around to the works of Spanish painter Francis Goya, I think this thread was only about food

hahah, that's a good one! also til about the artist.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Onions are definitely underrated imo

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Underrated? Onions are in, or are the base of so many dishes and sauces its not funny. Thats almost like saying 'people should try using garlic or salt in their recipe more often'

I’ve grown to hate ranch, as it expands to everywhere and there are too many cheap “ranch” flavorings that just taste like chemicals
