So many foods my mom cooked by microwaving or just not using any kind of fat or herbs to cook them with, so putting butter, salt, or roasting these things in an oven with veggies has improved the experience significantly.

Olives. Had them on a pizza recently and they were pretty damn good

>> No.20237500

>>20237497
olives are fucking magic, but not many kids (like myself too) appreciate them.

we had Thanksgiving every year at my aunt and uncle's house, they would always have a grazing tray of different pickles and olives out, and as a kid I couldn't stand it. sure I like a dill pickle, but they had some weird ones and then of course black and green olives. I remember trying a black olive when I was about 5 and I thought I was going to die.

Now I would destroy that whole platta

Oh, so many. Chicken wings, burgers, steak, ice cream, any curry, many vegetables (i liked peas/carrots/potatos/corn/lettuce/tomatoes but not much else), mustard, hot sauce.
For vegetables though, I'm 90% sure my parents just got way better at cooking them as I got older. I remember lots of steamed vegetables earlier, and more sauteed / herb roasted vegetables later.

Prawns. I have no memory of this but my mom says the first time I saw them was during a family meal at a restaurant. When the waiter brought over a giant plate of them I thought they looked scary and ran away from the table. Weirdly enough I loved eating lobster and crab, which I guess looked cute and friendly in comparison.

Was a really picky eater as a kid, I would eat basically eat bread or beef and that was it unless my parents got frustrated enough to just let me go hungry and eat whatever. Probably the only things I don't really like nowadays are fish and eggplant. Will still eat fish it's just not something I would order at a restaurant.

Broccoli is the easiest vegetable to make really good and somehow its the bane of every kid's existence. You can throw it in stir fries, dash lemon and garlic and have it as a side, or just have some plain and raw. I blame the US education system and the nauseating broccoli and cheese they served

bro i grew up in south FL a few blocks from the pier and my friends are all some sort of commercial fishermen , there are very few fish worth eating and even then they have to be right out of the water fresh or they get that rotting fishy taste.
When people say they like seafood they're are saying they like that nasty old rot taste not the actual taste of the fish because very few people have ever actually had truly fresh fish.

swordfish caught and grilled on the boat NEXT LEVEL!
"fresh" salmon that sat around on ice for a week tastes like rotting ass

that fishy taste means it went bad and is a signal to your body to not eat it which is why children that still have their natural instincts balk at fish

I still struggle with a retarded childlike “ew veggies” mindset where I’ll eat it but not enjoy it, but spinach is pretty great.
