Livers, Gizzards, Kidneys, and best of all Hearts!

Fried brain was always tasty as well.

Organ meat is the best meat.

Growing up, my grandfather always gave the kidneys to the dogs, only recently did I discover how good it was. A Japanese BBQ place in Hawaii sells it seasonally, fantastic!

If you mean by acquired ~ something you learned to like that you did not initially like then that would be Scotch for me.

At least four people of my acquaintance in Oregon smear their garlic bread with Marionberry jam/jelly.

And yet they make faces at me because of my liking for Marmite.

liver and onions,

Mom made it often growing up and I loved it.

Some years later I was slicing up a fresh elk liver for dinner at camp one evening and it was full of flukes.

Haven't touched the stuff since.

Sardines.

broccoli

baked beans

pancakes

coffee

yogurt

never ate any of the above until I was out of college...

---------------------------

Stinky tofu. It tasted quite literally like shit the first 3 times, now I can't have enough.

Guinness.
When I first tried it in college I was sure somebody blended a loaf of bread and bottled it with ogre piss.

Now it's my go to beer.

I’ll say broccoli as well, but in fact, I eat many more vegetables than I did as a kid. Part of what makes vegetables like broccoli better tasting to me is this seasoning salt. I think it really improves the taste of vegetables. We season with it while heating them up in the skillet.

Here’s how the company describes it.

quote:

A wonderfully light and refreshing salt blend. Use on fish, chicken, salads, snack toppings, seafood salads, or other light meals for a salty citrus flavor! Bottle contains 3.8 oz..
Ingredients Sea salt, orange zest (oranges, citric acid [preservative]), green peppercorn, ginger, lemon zest (lemons, citric acid [preservative]), lime zest (limes, citric acid [preservative]), rose petals

Highly recommended

Mine were spinach and marinated artichoke hearts.

No matter how much ketchup or bbq sauce I put on my mom's spinach, never worked. Then, on the USS Tarawa during my fourth cruise, they served up baked spinach with bacon and cheeses. I tried it on a whim and ZOMG - heaven in the middle of the Pacific!!!

Avocados believe it our not. And, I live in the so called avocado capital of the world, or at least Southern Kalifornia. Always associated them with guacamole which contains onions/cilantro, etc. all the stuff I don't like. Then about 20 years ago I tried making my own guacamole with just red hot sauce added and the rest is history. Wife and I share an avocado a day now. And it contains the good cholesterol.

Cut them open, take out the pit, fill the hole with French dressing (or a bit of your hot sauce). Eat with a spoon out of the peel.

You'll thank me later.

Or, a mixture of mayonnaise and Frank's Red Hot.

Asparagus. I still don't really like it, but I have learned to tolerate it, especially when grilled.

I'm one of the ones for which Cilantro tastes like soap. I don't eat it.

I can't eat liver--I chew and chew and it gets bigger and bigger and won't go down. My mother told me I should eat it because it had iron--I told her I'd rather eat rust. I don't eat any organ meats.

I've always been fond of celery, but my dad wouldn't eat it. I've also always been fond of spinach and other cooked leafy greens, including collard. My mother home-canned a greens mixture that was very tasty.

My mother's homemade sauerkraut was wonderful. Commercial stuff doesn't compare.

I'm fond of a lot of vegetables, but most of those I didn't like as a child I still don't like. And my aversion to spoiled milk (cheese and related foods) still stands.

Bell peppers , jalapenos , green olives , Beef liver , radishes , I want NO part of . Most everything else I will eat .

Being Cajun I have eaten many things including some I wasnt quite sure what they were but my "no-way am I touching that" short list includes Asparagus, liver, and grits of any kind.

Catfish. And I mean real cat fish and not those farm raised one.

As we age, taste buds die. By age 50, we've lost half our original number. That's why you sometimes see older people using tons of pepper or hot sauce.
