Gumbo. My mom made it a few times and I always hated it. Turns out she wasn’t making it correctly until I had my extended family make it the way our family did from Louisiana and now I can’t get enough of the stuff.
My family goes all out on gumbo, making a pot that will cost around $400 (pre-pandemic pricing, not sure how much it went up since) but have every little thing everyone wants from shrimp and sausage to chicken and all the little fixings in it.
I’ve never had a real gumbo, but it’s something I absolutely want to try!
It’s one of those things you have to try homemade, unfortunately. The only restaurant I somewhat trust is my aunt’s restaurant and even then it’s still not as good as homemade! But it comes close.
I’ll send you an invite next time we have one lol
Pig and chicken feet. Fat is so good.
Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard. Dad was from Brooklyn and loved it, as I kid I just wanted the neon yellow stuff all my friends had. Now, many years later, I always have it in my fridge.
Spicy brown mustard is amazing!
Tomatoes. Especially raw ones!
I still can’t get behind tomatoes. On a burger, I’m good. Otherwise I just don’t like them still for some reason.
Agreed, there's something too acid about them to me, I like them cooked/fried/sundried though!

Onions
Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.
Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.

I used to be a picky eater, but years ago I decided that I wanted to like more food - - that life would be better if I actually enjoyed foods that I would otherwise have to suffer/avoid.
I started by putting small amounts of different ingredients in my dishes (when it made sense) and I quickly developed a taste for all of them.
(Only found out later that this was a great way to do it as your microbiom directly impacts your cravings).
Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, pickles, brussel sprouts, oysters, mustard are all things I now genuinely enjoy.
grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.

Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives
Cauliflower soup? I am guessing it’s a creamy soup? I’ve never heard of that one before.
I agree with the rest, especially blue cheese!
Not 100% sure of the ingredients, but yes, it's creamy. Involves a lot of milk, that'sall I know as I make it from these portioned bags with powder. Topped with a litte bit of bacon.
Kale. I hated it as a kid, but that's because my parents never removed the stems, and then boiled it down into mush, neither of which is the correct way to cook kale. Now that I cook my own, I love it and eat it regularly.

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Bananas, pickles, onions, mustard. Now it’s like, “Whatever, just shove it down my throat.”

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn't like most other fish; now I like all fish I'm aware of.
Italian cured ham, I used to hate the taste and texture, but now, it's great!
Asparagus! I hated that shit when I was 12. And now I can't wait for asparagus season.
