Liking food you've always hated

I was a pretty fussy eater as a kid. And I say kid, but until I was in my twenties the only veg I would eat were raw carrots and sweetcorn. And chips obviously. Anne has since managed to put me on at least nodding terms with most of the green-based foodstuffs - just as well if we're going veggie for year.

There are still quite a lot of things I profess to dislike though, and won't eat. Brussel Sprouts, offal, greens, fried eggs, that sort of thing - all associated with some childhood horror no doubt.

However, I am finding myself increasingly warming to certain foods I've always maintained I detest. Either my palate is changing, or see how I'm growing.

Two in particular over the last couple of years:

Beetroot - roasted and served in salads (with goats cheese and red cabbage last night).

Black pudding - (particularly with seared scallops) but last night with roast chicken and a sweet wine sauce.

What food do you find yourself liking you never thought you would?
