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!

    As a kid, I thought I hated steak, but it turns out, my mom was just really bad at cooking steak.

      Yes. I think that was my problem too. It’s also the cuts that matter.

      On another note, I still cannot get behind pork chops.

        That’s a shame. If I might ask, have you ever had a properly cooked pork chop?

        I only ask because pork used to need to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe, which makes for tough, dry pork. Fortunately the parasite that required this heat was eliminated from the US, and about 15 years ago the USDA lowered the safe temp to 145. The result is so much better.
