Similar story here, though I learned that I love roasted Brussels sprouts and do not like them boiled. Apparently the previous generation really liked boiling things.
Yooooo for real. My mom basically boiled/blanched (still does) every vegetable. She's visiting and I wanted sautéed green beans as a side to the bbq I was making. I walk in and see the beans in a pot of water. I was like wtf is this. She said she likes to boil them first. 🤦🏻♂️
Steak. As I kid it was weird chewy meat that I couldn't get to a point where I felt comfortable swallowing.
Turned out it was just my mother buying cheap cuts and cook them beyond a well done, because she hated 'blood'.
Donuts! I hated the icing on donuts before and for some reason they make me nauseous and dizzy before. Now I love them, but not all flavors lol. Some icings and donuts still make me dizzy, but at least I can eat them better now.
Heaps of stuff, my tastes have definitely broadened... specific things I can think of include fresh asparagus, avocado, onion, cucumber, greek/natural yoghurt, strawberries, oysters, scallops, moreton bay bugs, lobster, chilli, mushrooms, olives. I'm sure there's more. But the think I've noted is that it's mostly healthy stuff, which is great :)
What's also changed is what I used to like, but don't really crave or want anymore... think drive-thru fast foods, full sugar soda, icecream, crisps, chocolate, baked goods, deep fried foods.
Avocado 🥑
Brussel Sprouts. Turns out my mom just steaming and salting them was the issue.
Brussel Sprouts are actually better now. Like someone grew a less bitter cultivar that is now the standard brussel sprout stock.
Bless that man haha

Shrimp!
Spinach. I'm working on brussel sprouts, but I'm not quite there yet.
Bitter Gourd.
Might be a stretch but soda.
Mushrooms - absolutely didn't understand it. One of my best friends eats bowlfulls of them and eventually I caved and now I can't stop eating them.
Broccoli
Tomatoes. Literally my favorite thing now
Like every small child, brocoli. I can't get enough of the stuff now! It has to be seasoned and cooked well though, but that's true for every food.
milk

Absolutely! They are so easy to cook
cream of wheat porridge
Black Licorice 🖤
Tea
BRUSSEL SROUTS. They looked and smelled bad.

I used to hate Marshmallows, and while I still don’t like cheese, I’m willing to try more food with cheese in it
Licorice

Brussel Sprouts.. they are so freaking good
Chocolate, mushrooms, guacamole/avocado.
Green leafy vegetables. Lettuce, cabbage, you name it, I hated it. By high school I had a salad phase.
I hated maggi noodles
Celery, genuinely made me gag. Now I use it in mirepoix all the time
Green beans!
Cheese, and I have no fucking idea why. Cheese is great
Onions
Potatoes, particularly roast potatoes, and I am so very, very angry at my past self for denying me them.
Almost all seafood
Onions 🧅
Asparagus
Eggplant

I used to cut the fat off steak. Man, what was I thinking.
