first time i ever had anything (outside of sirloin or chopped steak) was my roommate at LSU dragging me to Ruths Chris and buying me a rare NY strip
it was an epiphany. i have since moved beyond NY strip as my 'go to' in favor of a ribeye but i eat nothing but rare (or med rare if forced to) steaks now.
cant even imagine eating it well done/dried out now.
no wonder we always kept A1 around the house.

I learned when I moved away from home to try steak cooked less well done and now I love it all. I still like a well done steak, though, even though I know I shouldn't. I can't help it. I prefer a medium cooked steak but if it comes out well done I don't need to send it back
Yup. My mom would cook steaks well done every time. The first time I one med-rare I never looked back.

On the cooked meat front, medium hamburgers. I use to never even consider eating a hamburger that wasn't well done and had even a slight touch of pink. Now, it's medium all the way for me. First one I ever ate was the kobe burger at Cheesecake Factory, best burger I had ever eaten.
Lobster rolls. Never thought they looked good or that I'd ever try one. Then I did. They're great.
Fish tacos. Again, never thought I'd try one. Absolutely love them.

As a teenager, I learned to cook. Well, probably before that, but definitely more as a teen. I was grilling burgers for my mom and sisters one night. I think Dad was out of town or something. I brought them in and they were all medium. The sights and sounds of those three when they bit into them was hilarious. I always leave the middle pink in them. I told them the grill was still hot if they wanted to go back out and burn them. My oldest sister still won't even eat a medium steak. It has to be burnt.

A huge chuck of foods I love now are things I probably would have thought were weird as a child, honestly.
But this above is true for me as well. Growing up, I thought I hated steak. I'd cry and pitch a fit when my parents said we were having steak for dinner. When I got older (but was still a kid), I couldn't figure out why that was considered a special treat for people. Spending 10 minutes chewing per bite of food was miserable for me.
Then I discovered what a real steak should taste like, and it changed everything. My mom likes med-rare or medium, but my dad will not do it. I've gone to their house and cooked burgers "my way" a few times. They eat them because they'd never be impolite, but I can tell they're dying inside.
I won't put them through that again.This post was edited on 4/5/16 at 2:02 pm

Another one is yogurt. I remember seeing a news story about Russians that ate it and it didn't sound good to me at all. I eat it now several times a week.
you thought yogurt was exotic and strange?

I was referring to the majority of your responses. This one was ok LL.

I guess I might have heard of it if I lived on a farm, but I'm a suburb boy. I thought it was strange people ate spoiled milk.

Iced coffee was a revelation to me as a teenager. What? Like coffee but cold and delicious in a hot LA summer? Yes, please.

Pho
It took me a few tries before I discovered what I liked. At first I thought it tasted like dirt.

Calf tongue.. I'd see it behind the meat counter and freak out that you could still see the bumps on the tongue.

I was raised in a cultured, well rounded family... So nothing comes to mind
