As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.

As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!

What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!

Brussel Sprouts. Absolutely hated them as a kid, which I blame my mother for. She "steamed" them in the microwave in a dish with water. Turned them into a slimy, horrible mush. My wife sautes them in a pan, with bacon. It's one of my absolute favorite dishes now.

This was the case for so many veggies for me... my parents were not amazing cooks. Spinach was the worst, just a big slimy pile, but now I love it.

I love a big slimy pile of sauteed spinach with lots of garlic!

Friend, same! I actually really like baby spinach salads.
