Olives.

I have ONLY ever had homemade pimiento cheese, because I used to enjoy the Masters, and that was the tradition. And since at the time, I didn't live in a part of the country that had ever heard of "pimiento cheese", I had to make it myself.

Now I'm in a town constructed virtually entirely of pimiento cheese, but the Masters has lost a bit of its lustre, so fuck it.

Pimento cheese is kind of a weird one because it really strongly depends on who made it. Like there's a meat market near me that makes the only pimento cheese I buy.. the last time I tried a more popular brand around here I threw it in the trash. It goes really good as a "dip" on the side of a grilled steak.

My hated then loved food is definitely onions. Despised them as a kid and picked them off everything. Then I tried hibachi food for the first time when I turned 13 and I ate every one of those sweet grilled onions! Like them on everything raw or whatever now.

I thought of another one -- pimento cheese spread. My sister used to eat bologna and pimento cheese spread sandwiches as a kid and it used to make me gag. I didn't try eating that stuff for 30 years. Then I recently tried it and it's pretty good. My sister was right and I was wrong. It was bound to happen.

both. I wouldn't try them at all at first but then I tried em pan fried. Then I tried them baked (Rockefeller style baby!) and finally have slurped them raw. I had thought that my favorite way was lightly pan fried (roll them in flour, toss them in pan with little bit of butter, turn pan on, by time outside is crispy they're just perfect inside) but lately I'm really loving them baked with champagne, herbs, and cheese. Slurping them raw is fun and seems brave but I'm not sure it's the best way to experience the most flavor with your oysters.

I had to console myself by just eating wings until I was asplode. BUT THEN a few years later, pizza was fine again! It's the weirdness of being a child I guess. Flavor is hard to understand.

Same here in part. I was off pepperoni for a while as a kid. I rallied on that one, however.

Mushrooms.

Around age 6 or 7, I was offered a fried mushroom. Seemed harmless enough, though it ended up under-seasoned, cold and holding a curious amount of insipid grease. I didn't touch 'em again until my early 20's when I opted for a mushroom salad. Loved those lil' guys ever since.

I have banned Paul from this thread. Sorry everyone. Go on!

Women.

Well, when I was about 12 I hated girls. By the time I got older I really liked them. And I found I loved eating them.

And no, not in the Hannibal Lecter sense!

Used to hate lentils. They were my "go-to" hate food!

Then an Indian place opened near where I used to work. And they put lentils in the curry. They were amazing. I don't get a chance to go there any more, but I yearn, Pinback. I yearn.

Oysters were always good. Who doesn't like oysters at any point in their life? I think you guys are in cahoots and trying to make fools out of the rest of us.

Shrimp. When I was a kid, the idea of pulling their legs off and peeling them grossed me out. Then, for 20 years, I was told I was allergic to it. Turns out, I just got some bad shrimp once and had food poisoning, not an allergy. Now, I love it.

A close second would be carrots, although I'm not sure anyone "loves" carrots. But I used to hate them and now I think they're okay.

That's an OUTSTANDING answer. Outstanding. I think that might even be on my list, now that I think of it.

That might have been such a good answer it breaks the whole thread.
