tuxette's Journal: tuxette's Thursday poll

This week's poll is not really a poll, as I'm not giving a list of chocies. It's more of an interesting question...

What food(s) did you loathe as a child but love now?

Conversely...what food(s) did you love as a child but loathe now?

Tempeh

[freejung]

Blech! I used to hate the stuff. But now I quite like it. Can't think of anything I liked as a child that I don't like now.

Wine

[BugZRevengE]

Used to hate wine, but now, i like it alot.

Used to love bananas, but now i cannot stand them, i was forced to eat only black bananas for a while, and that just turned be off them completely.

According to my mom

[jawtheshark]

I used to hate rice.... now it is one of my favourites (but then, I like almost anything edible... and drinkable of course *grin*)

food

[capoccia]

i eat everything. even potatos, which i'm not too fond of.

I won't respond

[Em Emalb]

Ok, so I will. ;)

When I was little, I thought I was allergic to watermelon, cause I got sick one time after eating some.

So I hated watermelon. Now, I quite love it.

How about I give you something that I will never eat period as a child and as an adult?

Sweet and Sour anything. Gah. Yuck. Horrible memories as a child.

You know...

[Otter]

...I'm pretty consistent. I try things like liver every so often in case my tastes have changed, but the foods I hated then, I continue to hate.

Bananas.

[daoine]

I *loved* bananas as a kid, but I have a very distinct memory of the day I decided that I didn't like them...I couldn't have been more than 3. Haven't eaten them since (although I still like them in things)

I was a horrifically picky eater, so there's a list of things a mile long that I wouldn't eat until, well, college basically.

Milk.

[Some Woman]

I hated it as a child, but now I like it.

I didn't like very much as a kid, so there's not much that I could have stopped liking.

McDonalds...

[tekiegreg]

Loved their stuff as a kid, but from about age 18+ I'd get sick whenever I eat them, now I just loathe them and everything that comes from them. There's plenty of fast food options in SoCal and McD's doesn't have to be one of them.

tuxette's abridged answers

[tuxette]

I didn't like but now love - cheese, olives, dressing on salad (though oil-vinegar only)

I liked but can't stand now - most sweets (especially the pre-made pre-packaged stuff)

Pizza (love) Oreos (bleh)

[L10N]

Although reknown as kiddie food, I didn't like pizza as a child. I started liking at college. I think my appreciation for pizza occured the first time I smoked ganja (such a collge kid's rite of passage: get stoned, get munchies, eat pizza). Anyhow I wasn't a big weed fan but I remained a pizza lover. =D

And for the food I loved as child and don't like anymore, this goes to Oreo cookies. I use to love to eat them with a glass of milk as a child but now I could care less.
