Food We Hated

[Dagman]

Hi ab'ers, I'm sitting here munching pickled gherkins, absolutely love them, however up until 5 years ago hated them! Have you a similar food you once hated but now love, or even the other way round?

[Jackdaw33]

I love ox tongue but it is hard to come by these days as it is expensive. Only tried veal once - utterly tasteless.

[sanmac]

When I was a kid, my father used to put salt on his porridge instead of sugar like the rest of us, and I thought that was a little strange. Many years later, I tried porridge with salt and what a great improvement in taste it was!

[Dagman]

I've only had ox tongue once, I remember it being like ham? I have a friend who has hot water with his cornflakes, hates milk! I like weetabix with butter on, but not usually. Chips with salad cream wonderful. As a kid didn't like either.

[Jackdaw33]

Ox tongue has a rich taste. In texture it is rather like ham. Never had chips with salad cream.

brussels sprouts, couldn't abide the smell and cabbage or greens, now i will eat all those things. I think its because they used to be over cooked and were done to death - now i will happily eat all three

I eat sliced Chicken/sliced Ham and Pasta now, but wouldn't have done about five years ago. Strangely though, I would have eaten a slice of pizza with Ham on it...

Honey roast parsnips and normal parsnips, whats the difference? are the former cooked differently?

[Jackdaw33]

Yes. The former are smeared with honey and roasted whilst the latter are merely boiled.

[Vagus]

Piggy, roast them for 20 minutes then drizzle honey over them and put back in oven for a further 10 minutes.
Or grate some Parmesan over them half way through roasting, very tasty.

Cabbage! Hated it as a child and when I was four I 'accidentally' let it slip off the plate and onto the floor. I was made to pick it up and eat it. I was also made to eat porridge as a child so now wouldn't eat it if you paid me. I never forced my children to eat anything and now they're grown up they'll eat anything.

[piggynose]

Thanx JD.
You live and learn.

[piggynose]

Thanx vagus. Cant get em in Madrid. Will have to wait til my next trip to Blighty.

[Dagman]

Retrocop... Brilliant! Looking through some of these replies, I may try some if them! Sickbag at the ready!

I'm certainly going to try parmesan on roast parsnips (which I love anyway). Lot of memories on this thread. Slow-roast brisket was great for a midweek joint, as was breast of lamb, spread with sage & onion stuffing, then rolled and roasted. A stick of rhubarb with an eggcupful of sugar was a major treat in the '50s when sweeties were rare.

[Mamyalynne]

I have a rolled breast of lamb in the oven now, the aroma is making me drool.

One thing I hated as a child was tripe and still do.

[Apc2604]

I loved all offal as a child, but don't like it now.
I hated olives for quite a long time, but now love them.
I liked sweet food as a child, but really haven't got a sweet tooth now.
I have loved cheese and hated bananas all my life!

[Bobbisox1]

Olives ,belly pork, cauliflower and kippers

Bleughhh

[Cloverjo]

Boil-in-the-bag Cod in parsley sauce was a regular appearance when I was young. I still can’t bear parsley sauce.

[Apc2604]

Dagman, i would take the burger out of a Macdonalds and replace it with gherkins!
