Foods you would never try, but now love?

My whole life I was a creature of habit and I would only eat what I knew I liked, I would never try anything. Anything I ate was what I have always eaten since childhood.

So far in 2010 I have discovered three wonderful foods that I am now in love with.

1. Chicken lo mein, the noodles always scared me away and I would go with rice instead of trying it. Man alive this crap is good.

2. Twinkies, they come in packs of two but that is never enough. I never got these as a kid because my folks were poor and lame. I am now working on my sucking technique to get the cream out first.

3. OLIVES!! These things are good. The green pitted spicy ones are my favorite. Of course I went my whole life avoiding them and always refusing to try them. Everyone said I would love them because I love pickles and the like.
Why didn't I just listen to them?! WHY!?

I don't think I am going to try anything new for a while now.
These three new wonderful foods are enough.
I am still a creature of habit.

As a child the only vegetables I ate were potatoes, processed peas, cucumber, tomatoes and radishes. Now I love all veg, with the exception of celery.
I wish I liked celery because it always looks good and I like the crunchy sound when people eat it raw. 🙂

The thread is about food you would never try and when you did you loved it.

God!

Swiss Chard and other winter greens like Kale and Collards. They are amazing sauteed with garlic and onion and seriously good for you. I was always afraid of them as a kid.

As a kid I hated onions and scallions, they tasted like acid to me then. But one day, when I was working in northern Thailand, I had some incredible shrimp fried rice, served in banana leaves, and it included a generous portion of scallions. It tasted so good, I remember how great it tasted to this day and from then on, always got the fried rice. I wish I could find the real deal here in Allentown, Pa.
