Foods you couldn't stomach as a child, which you now love!

Just that really! For me, it's chutney. One of my school friends used to have it every day on her sandwiches back in the day and it would make me heave! Now as an adult, I love it and would happily spoon it in my mouth right from the jar! 😁

Cheese! It literally made me sick as a child. Wouldn’t touch it at all in any form. Now I adore it.

Avocados, mushrooms and, weirdly, baked potatoes.

Mayonnaise!
Someone once gave me salad cream & lettuce sandwiches when I went for tea & they were disgusting. I thought mayo was the same, until.i was in my 20s .
Actually, interesting how small the teas we had at friends in the 60s/early 70s. Boiled egg & soldiers, lettuce sandwiches!
I suppose we had a hot lunch at school.

Trifle

Tomatoes 🍅 cheese 🧀

Fried mushrooms used to make me feel sick. Now I love them!

Olives.
Dark chocolate.
Almond flavours like amaretto.

Beetroot and walnuts!

Fresh Tomatoes - Once i discovered that not all tomatoes were those awful things we were served with salads in the 80s I no longer hated them

Broccoli, French beans, cabbage and Brussel sprouts. All used to be overcooked so were soggy and lacked colour. I've learned to love them lightly cooked and maybe with a light dressing added whilst still warm. Also it helps that sprouts have had some of the bitterness bred out of them and I love them steamed or sautéed. Lovely. 🌹

Celery, I loathed it as a child until my nan made it boiled with carrots, in a cheese sauce. I probably eat it 3 times a week now!

cabbage, hated it on school dinners. Love it now, could eat it every day! Oh and porridge too.

All fruit apart from tangerines
All vegetables/salad
Meat that wasn’t processed rubbish
yogurt
soup
butter

Beetroot and curry.

Still can't stomach liver!

Olives, eggs, salad

Olives
Pulses

I am rather the opposite. I was force fed green veg (brussels, cabbage, peas etc) as a child and made to sit there for hours even if I tried it and gagged and spat it out my father would still make me eat it.
Now aged 56 I have never eaten any green veg in my life since. Which is hard being a vegetarian.

Eggs, cheese, cream and most green vegetables. Subsequently became my favourite foods

mushrooms, cheese (except dairylea and that isn't really cheese) celery, olives

Tomatoes

Olives and mayo! 😁

All kinds of cream, but especially clotted cream used to make me gag when i was a kid. Sadly for my waistline I now love cream 🤣

Oh dear! 😂

I've always liked greens and would swap cabbage for potatoes, in junior school. My dad said I lapped up cabbage, broccoli and the like as a baby, my daughter did, too. She's currently eating gnocchi, with spinach and cabbage and cheese.

I was so fussy with textures

These are some items I loathed and am now happy to eat

Bananas
Cheese
Chutney (still can't stand pickle like Branstons)
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Eggs

I was so fussy with textures

That's why I can't stomach bananas, even though I'll eat banana custard - after fishing the bananas out. Same with porridge, I've never been able to stand it.
