My experience exactly! Most fresh vegetables that I eat now were noxious poison to me as a child (especially asparagus).geebee said:I hated asparagus growing up because my mom used the canned kind. I love fresh asparagus but didn't know the difference until I was "really growed up".
Still never got past chickpeas and lima beans. Nasty, ill-textured things, with imitation cardboard flavor. And I still dislike oily vegetables: olives of all types and avacados are the main antagonists in that group.
I love most sushi and all shellfish, as well as crabs and other edible crustaceans. I draw the line at raw sea urchin roe, which tastes like partially fermented boat-bottom scrapings.
Liver and kidneys should be buried with the host animal. Except, somehow I like liverwurst and Braunshweiger, although I don't eat them anymore because of the phenomenal fat and cholesterol content.
First, last, and always, the finest single food to me is the frozen combination consisting of only cream, sugar, and ground vanilla, called vanilla ice cream. Breyers is a stunning example of that.
Best wishes,
