I used to hate anything with strawberry growing up.

Oh and sausages and pizza.

Marrowfat peas 🤢
Peppers - my Mum used to put them in everything.
I used to love something my Granny made until the penny dropped as to what I was eating. Couldn't eat it after that! Stuffed heart..
Still quite like offal generally but not heart or tongue..

Mushrooms, smoked mackerel and gravy (or any sauces) - love them all now!

MissTemple · 23/09/2020 19:17

Any milky pudding - at school it was stay here until you eat your semolina, rice pudding, tapioca. Many lost lunch breaks or vomit everywhere.

Rice pudding, my mum once made keep trying it she thought I’d eventually learn to like it, after I threw it all back up she stopped Grin

School puddings.
Everyone went mad when it was chocolate sponge with pink custard but I thought it was gross, it tasted nothing like chocolate and the custard was watery. My sponge regularly fell off my spoon and under the table.

Salmon, lamb chops, steak, shepherds pie.

Bread and mashed potato

Which was a major problem in our house as every meal barring breakfast and pancake day had bread or mashed potato.

Even the thought has me retching.

I now never eat mashed potato and eat while bread only under certain circumstances.

Thus proving the parents who say "I was strict with mine so they were never fussy because I didn't let them refuse food" totally wrong.

Mushrooms and avocado. Two of my favourite foods now!

cameocat · 23/09/2020 19:57

Oh and peanut butter, custard and rice pudding. Still don't like them.

Drogonssmile · 23/09/2020 19:57

Olives anchovies and smoked salmon. Love them now.
Kidneys and liver. Still can't stand them.

sluj · 23/09/2020 19:57

Olives and cottage cheese, love both now

PickAChew · 23/09/2020 19:58

Most vegetables.

sqirrelfriends · 23/09/2020 20:14

Peas, find them delicious now but my mother used to cook them till they were grey.

Lovely1a2b3c · 23/09/2020 20:15

All green veg! I used to retch when I tried to eat them. I think I might have been a 'Super- taster' because I found green veg torturous to eat until I was 25!

Also any mature cheeses (still not keen) and blue cheese.

Mushrooms, but I quite like them now.

Rice- I think it was the texture.

Cheesecake but I still hate that!

IdblowJonSnow · 23/09/2020 20:16

Everything except lemon curd sandwiches and err, spam! Shock

DanielRicciardosSmile · 23/09/2020 20:16

Mushrooms, sweetcorn, baked beans, liver. Sure there's more but that's off the top of my head.

Lovely1a2b3c · 23/09/2020 20:17

Oh and scrambled eggs but I think that was because my Mum didn't use any butter or salt and used too much milk when making them so they were milky and flavourless- love them now.

Oh and milk- still hate it.

It's a long list!

Jamhandprints · 23/09/2020 20:19

Egg whites, parsnips, swede, most of my mum's cooking, sadly! Love all those things now!

Lovely1a2b3c · 23/09/2020 20:20

Banana flavoured things; strawberry flavoured things (but not strawberries); lemon flavoured things.

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2020 20:21

Fish. I still hate it now, I can't bear the taste, texture and particularly the smell of it.

KittCat · 23/09/2020 20:21

Chinese take away, bloody love it now 😋

Chicchicchicchiclana · 23/09/2020 20:22

New potatoes (now love them)
Tomatoes (still not keen)
Cucumber (still can't stand it)
