Is there a food you couldn't stand as a child but actually enjoy now?

B Natural answer

Yes. I couldn't stand broccoli when I was little, especially because my parents would overcook it. Now I actually enjoy it roasted in the oven with a bit of olive oil and pepper. I even add it to pasta sometimes. It feels much better when the texture is crisp and the flavor is stronger.
