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!

    I am a quarter German and sauerkraut was always gross to me, but dammit if it isn’t amazing now! Especially when it’s cooked the entire time with some meat and soaks up the juices.

    Black olives are tolerable, agreed there. I think new for me are green olives and stuffed olives. Never would’ve touched that when I was younger.

      I really enjoy green olives in a gin martini, especially the ones stuffed with blue cheese.

      Can’t stand green olives in any other format that I can think of.

        I’ve only ever really drank dressed up martinis (flavored). I might have to give this a try though!
