When I was a kid, you couldn’t get me to eat…

Brussels sprouts, but now I have to have them once a week. Broiled or grilled, salty/spicy seasoning with a little bit of honey drizzled.
What other foods are the same experience for you?

I was a very picky eater as a kid. I could just find a list of all of the various fruits and vegetables and copy and paste it here to save time. It's a long list. I also didn't eat much in the way of seafood and I'm sure several other things I can't think of at the moment that I now think are delicious.
PS- I still think brussel sprouts are awful, even cooked in bacon grease. Other things I still don't eat that are likely to earn some down votes: collard greens, boiled eggs or anything that smells like a fart.

Beets, okra, squash.
Eat’em on the regular now.

I didn’t eat salad until I was in my 30’s. And even then I picked at it so as to not seem weird.
Now I’d love a good fresh salad almost every night.

Any kind of cheese. Didn't matter if yellow or white, I didn't eat it.
Sour Cream, Cream Cheese, yogurt
I was a mid teen before I ate my first slice of pizza with mozzarella cheese on it.
I loved all vegetables and fruit, but was hesitant to eat things like broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus when my mother cooked them.
She'd put them in water and boil them to oblivion to the point you damn near needed a spoon to eat them. She had absolutely no concept of lightly steaming vegetables.
Oh, and Spam. Hated that stuff and will never eat it again.

Same, my mom boiled broccoli to mush. Now I roast it and I feel like I was gypped this whole time.

Game changer for me was when my wife accidentally used my habanero honey to drizzle over the sprouts. Amazing.

Cauliflower
Tomatoes
Beets
Turnip greens

Vegetables, because it was always boiled green mush. I cannot stand boiled, overcooked, mushy vegetables, and that's the only way I ever saw them prepared until I met people from outside the South in college. Then, I learned that some vegetables could be steamed and some could be stir fried, and I could tolerate a lot more vegetables. I still only tolerate them, I don't think they really add much value to a meal except as a vehicle for other more flavorful components. A few years later I finally developed a taste for salad when I discovered that meant more than iceberg lettuce smothered in mayonnaise. In short, vegetables are a reminder of the years of no choices in eating and disliking a great deal of what was forced on me, always being told I was too picky.
Now, probably my favorite meal combination is some kind of protein with rice and beans. Does that sound picky to you?

Tomatoes
Pickles
And for some reason peas WITH carrots. I could eat them separately but together it reminded me of puke because of the color combo.

Cabbage. I couldn’t even enter a house if it was being cooked. Now I love it

My mom used to make boiled Okra with butter as a side dish. Yuck..Blah...
I love whole okra on the grill with buttermilk dipping sauce.

Tomatoes and beef liver. Couldn't stand either as a kid, later in life I started to tolerate tomatoes, but I won't even give beef liver a taste to see if I have changed towards that.

Liver. No matter the source, liver.
Still will not eat liver. It’s catfish bait. (I will eat catfish like there’s no tomorrow)
A lot of veggies I can no longer eat, either chemistry sets off my pancreatitis or the texture/digestive process sets off my Gastroporesis. Salads will hospitalize me. I have to resort to green mush over cooked stuff now.

For awhile, white rice.
I think it started in my elementary school cafeteria, but I developed an aversion to rice. When Mom cooked a rice and gravy meal, I substituted bread for the rice. Eventually, I started eating it again, but only at home and cooked by my mother, and EVERY grain of rice had to have gravy on it.
Even cleaning the rice pot made me gag. Wet rice at the bottom of the pot.
Before rice, I detested mashed potatoes, and also only learned to like them covered in gravy.
I loved spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts from the first time I tasted them, but the blandest foods I hated? Weird.
