On a non food note... anal! I used to be all "It's all for the mans pleasure, they must get off on causing women pain" etc until I tried it and loved it.. defo all pleasure for me. I sometimes prefer it over vaginal sex.

😂Bet you didn't expect that reply OP. Have the school holidays started....

Prague. People used to bang on about it endlessly, which put me off. Turns out they were right…

Teaching!

Toddlers :D

Sausages. They used to make me gag as a kid.

Turns out it was just the way my Mum cooked them (I was duped because she was actually a really good cook when making everything else). When my husband made some it was a revelation.

Ah yes, I also thought that having a non-verbal baby would be really boring and I would not really get into motherhood until he learned to speak. He’s almost 7 now and I think back fondly to those baby days when he’d snooze and babble and not have opinions about what we were doing with our day!

Absolutely agree with Malaga! Gorgeous

Smoothiecarton · 06/07/2023 10:07

Also, butlins. Kids entertained at any hour of the day, bliss.

White water rafting. Was terrified before we started but absolutely loved it. Have done it many times since.
Gin.

Same! I tried it. Hated it. Tried again ten years later. Loved it. Turns out I was teaching the wrong subject first time round.

Haggis.

The rapids at Centre parks. I don't like flumes and slides (I go on them for the kids, but I don't enjoy it). But the rapids are fun.

Crikeyisthatthetime · 06/07/2023 10:16

Another Malaga!
And Couch to 5k.

Spin classes. I always hated the exercise bike when I used to go to the gym, so assumed I would hate everything about spin.

Turns out I actually love it.

Shufflebumnessie · 06/07/2023 10:20

Stilton. I found it absolutely disgusting, but after having my second child I love it!

Helendegenerate · 06/07/2023 10:20

Peanut butter

Anoushkaka · 06/07/2023 10:22

Blue cheese

Black pudding, when I was a kid. Didn't 'like' it despite never having tasted it. Challenged by mother to try a bit. Loved it. When I was a adult, it was flying. I was scared until at the age of 42 I was persuaded to fly to Nice. I was nervous right up until the plane started rushing along the runway to take off. It was amazing, like being in a racing car or on a powerful motorbike. Fear cured, instant convert.

After having horrendous MiL I thought I'd never go on holiday with a MiL. My second MiL is so lovely and I really enjoy holidays with in-laws.

Benidorm. We had a fabulous hotel, amazing food, great local bus service, lovely clean beach and lots of places to visit.

Black coffee, running, Lanzarote

Hoisin sauce

@Pigeonbilly Long time very much adult poster. Pathetic that you assume anything sexual is a teenager posting.
OP didn't specify food.

This is good to hear! I see it and think it looks horrific 😆

FastBlueHedgehog · 06/07/2023 10:46

Ballet (watching not doing). Went to see it once so I could have an opinion and an now absolutely hooked.
