Remember when you were little and your parents made you eat stuff like broccoli and carrots and peas? And you hated it!!!!! mad.gifcrazy.giftongue.gif

Isn't it weird how as we age....we start to like the things we hated to eat as a child?

I hated broccoli. Love it today. Yeah, there are exceptions. I still won't eat liver or turnips. crazy.gifcrazy.gifcrazy.gif

What did you hate to eat as a kid, but now you love to eat?????

Re: Acquired tastes

When I was in the hospital. I said, "I don't care if it'll make a goat sick. I'm eating!"

I do have my limits though. I only made it about 3/4" thru a bowl of Menudo (Cow's stomach) and just couldn't finish it. How can eating stomach upset your stomach? Well it did blush.gif

I used to love onions as a kid and now I can't stand em except for onion rings. I used to hate things like asparagus, clams, oysters, calamari and squash but now I love em. I like the healthier foods and the lighter things that don't weigh so heavy on your stomach.

Re: Acquired tastes

When I was younger I disliked green beans, cabbage, sauerkraut, raw tomatoes, fish, scallops, oysters, bread crust, escargot, calamari, caviar, menudo, and sushi. I ate a lot of other things though that most people I know won’t touch such as chicken and deer hearts wrapped in bacon or boiled, cow and deer liver boiled or fried, etc.

Now a days I grew to like green beans, cabbage, sauerkraut, 4 types of fish (salmon, walley, catfish, & flounder), and bread crust. I still like chicken and deer hearts wrapped in bacon or boiled, cow and deer liver boiled or fried, etc. But, I still dislike raw tomatoes (but I will eat them if someone serves them mixed in a food like tacos), scallops, oysters, escargot, calamari, caviar, menudo, and most sushi (except Japanese style sushi).

I never had a chance to hate anything! You either ate what was served or you didn't eat! I ate! LOL!!

Ditto. With 4 siblings, you better be fast, and like what was put out. Only thing I can remember refusing to eat back then was Smoked Sausage, kraut and taters. I won't say I love that meal now, but I do like it.

Shrimp comes to mind. My mom used to boil it every now and then and stink up the house, and I never ate it. Now I love it.

Re: Acquired tastes

Anyone ever eat liverwurst? We ate it when we were little. And actually liked it. I don't think it even had liver in it. Oscar Mayer made it. It was like a meat "spread" you ate on bread like a sandwich.
