Onions
Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.
Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.

Bananas and potatoes. I can't say that I enjoy bananas now, but I tolerate them kinda and eat them regularly.
We ate potatoes for just about every meal when I was a kid so I started to dislike it, but now I love potatoes in every form and eat it as much as I can.
Pig and chicken feet. Fat is so good.
I fucking love Cauliflower, I thought I didn't like it because I grew up poor and didn't really get fancy veggies
I used to be a picky eater, but years ago I decided that I wanted to like more food - - that life would be better if I actually enjoyed foods that I would otherwise have to suffer/avoid.
I started by putting small amounts of different ingredients in my dishes (when it made sense) and I quickly developed a taste for all of them.
(Only found out later that this was a great way to do it as your microbiom directly impacts your cravings).
Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, pickles, brussel sprouts, oysters, mustard are all things I now genuinely enjoy.
i used to hate peanut butter. idk why
I have always loved peanut butter, but it’s gotta be creamy.
i prefer crunchy but i have a large gap between two molars and one time a peanut got stuck there and wouldnt come out so i cant do crunchy anymore
Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives
Cauliflower soup? I am guessing it’s a creamy soup? I’ve never heard of that one before.
I agree with the rest, especially blue cheese!
Not 100% sure of the ingredients, but yes, it's creamy. Involves a lot of milk, that'sall I know as I make it from these portioned bags with powder. Topped with a litte bit of bacon.
Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.
Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!
grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.

Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.
I hated strawberries growing up. I would do anything and everything to not eat them. As an as adult I finally tried them again and loved them. It turns out I just hated low quality or not ripe strawberries
