There were many things I hated as a kid. Sausage, hamburgers, steak, fish, bacon, and ham are some things I really like now. I didn’t start to enjoy them until I was an adult and realized the foods aren’t bad, I just never liked the way my dad cooked them! He’d make these really thick burgers and cook the shit out of them, so they were dry and tasteless. Same thing with steaks, just way overcooked. I don’t know what he did to ham and bacon, and I think he usually cooked fish that tasted too “fishy” to me. I like flounder, cod, and sole, sometimes salmon, and am more likely to try different kinds of fish now that I know there are a lot of milder tasting options.
I also like a lot of cheeses that I didn’t like/wouldn’t have tried as a kid. Goat cheese, brie, fresh mozzarella, manchego…now I’m craving cheese. I love cheese!
There are also foods I didn’t like as a kid that I still can’t stand. Olives, lima beans, liver, and fried corn are things my parents made often and always forced me to eat. I did not decide they were any tastier as I got older!
