Foods you came to late in life

[theCMG]

Interested in those foods which for whatever reason you either didn't try, thought you didn't like or suddenly acquired a taste for during adulthood. Nothing better then suddenly discovering something great that's completely new. Here's a few of mine:

Balsamic vinegar - never tried it for ages, what a flavour
Grilled Halloumi - assumed this was like goats cheese
Goats cheese - see halloumi! Suddenly this Summer my palate went hey this is great, have a Greek salad
Ravioli - scarred through youth by the Heinz tinned version and refused to try it for years. Guess what, the real Italian version is a little nicer!

Is it just me who does this? Reformed fussy child

Red wine. (I always drank G&T when out). My brother's ex introduced him to it and the taste for it spread to his daughters and me ! His new girlfriend drinks Prosecco !

Brussel Sprouts! hated with a passion as a kid, love them to bits as an adult, same with coffee, cabbage

there are few i wished i could like but have given up on, mustard, horseradish sauce and any kind of fish, i know its healthy and really want to like it but its just sweaty feet at best to me

Celery and green bell peppers. Couldn't stand the smell of celery and then I discovered buffalo wings and blue cheese dip and now I moan when there's not enough celery for the dip in restaurants.

Green peppers always smelled like grass to me so never fancied them. Love them now with grilled onions on a Philly Cheesesteak.

Black olives, again a Greek holiday discovery. Love Greek salad with black olives and feta.

I now love Sprouts as well but still cannot stomach liver and onions or turnip . I'm scarred for life with those.

Hummus/Cous Cous and Lamb.

Always hated lamb Sunday lunch as a child as it always seemed to make very thin, greasy gravy Was served lamb at a friend's house a few years ago and enjoyed it so it's back on the menu!

Had hummus and cous cous at Restaurant Marrakesh 5 years ago and loved it, has really got me into Moroccan dishes.

In my late teens: olives, wine, peppers, onions, cabbage, goats cheese and probably loads of other stuff!

As an adult the big one would be coffee! Never drank it until my very late twenties but now I love it so much!

And last year in Disney I developed a love of pickles/gherkins! And in the last few weeks I discovered sauerkraut and it is so delicious 😛🍽

I'm not sure if a drink counts as a food but as a child, and pretty much carried on into adulthood i dont like any hot drinks... tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Oddly they all seem to make me thirsty (?!). Anyway I tried iced tea and coffee as an adult and love both so it's definitely the temperature not the flavour that does it.
