    Marmalade too.

    Hated it as a kid, but I've been on a total kick for it the last few weeks.

    Tomatoes. Couldn't even eat food they had been on the same plate as. Love them now. It was a texture thing.

    I still can't eat eggs though. Can't bear the smell or sight of them. :mad:

    Not strictly eating, but Guinness. I hated the taste of it for the longest time and then one day randomly tried it and found myself liking it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 261 ✭✭tommyombomb

    Oh, good thread! A lot for me actually - as I get older I seem to like more and more stuff. I used to hate onions but I like them now. I used to hate mushrooms but I bloody LOVE them now. Lettuce. Kale. Even the dreaded broccoli.

    Meat tastes nicer raw. Fact.

    I'll always have a steak cooked blue whenever possible. Just enough to warm the meat up is perfect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,483 ✭✭✭SweetCaliber


    Good ol' sausages, used to hate them as a kid but now I'm addicted to them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 894 ✭✭✭filmbuffboy


    brussel sprouts. hated them all my life after trying them as a child. tried them out this year for the first time since 6 or 7 and i loved them!

    Boiled carrots, use to only eat them raw but love them boiled now.
    Pasta, hated the texture, like it now.
    Peas, again a texture thing, love a pea now!
    Beans, actually I still detest them.

    In fact as a young child the only thing I would eat was jelly (from the packets, undisolved) hate it now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,691 ✭✭✭michellie


    Rice, pasta, lasange, spaghetti, pizza, cheese, most sauces, most veg, most fruit... I was a very fussy eater, only eating those things in the last 2 years. Still pretty fussy.

    I know!! I hardly ate as a teen.I lived off a packet of crisps,bread or oxtail soup!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Topper Harley


    Pizza, curry, peppers.

    And to an extent, everything else. Was a fussy eater as a child... still am a bit regarding what I like but I'll eat anything put on a plate in front of me now. Except onions. Hate onions. But I see a few others have overcome this so there's hope for me yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭MaxSteele


    Green and Red peppers.

    As soon as they were covered in old El paso in those fajita's I was stumped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭Vicar in a tutu


    Oh and also stew / coddle.. its actually nice now:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    Rare steak, well, medium rare by US standards (because we don't do "rare" over here) is definitely the best. It's not blood, it's myoglobin from muscle tissues and water. That's what makes it tender & juicy. Nyom nyom nyom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭Sappa


    Squid and dried squid,now I eat it regular and have it as a snack or put it on the barbecue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭tan11ie

    Still couldn't even try one of them, even the thought makes me nauseous:(
