As a kid, I never liked PB&J. (I preferred cream cheese and jelly.) But recently I started eating it because I needed something quick and not too filling for my 3:30am mornings.
It's surprisingly better now than it used to be. I wonder why that is.
Tastebuds change. I never cared for BBQ until a few years ago. Now I order it at restaurants quite often.

There is that.
Also, there's the thing where, as a kid, you say you don't like something because you don't want to try it. I did that a lot with certain vegetables... for 15 years, my mom made asparagus for her and dad, and broccoli for me and my sister. Now I love asparagus... if only I'd tried it...
Asparagus is yummy.

QuoteHelp keep your mind sharp with a few tender spears of asparagus.
Low blood levels of folate and high blood levels of homocysteine were associated with greater memory problems for people 65 and older in a recent study. Protect against memory deficits by getting plenty of folate-rich foods such as asparagus. Increasing your blood levels of folate can help keep your homocysteine levels in check.
Consuming ample amounts of dietary folate can help reduce blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and mental decline when found in excess in the bloodstream. Both genes and diet affect homocysteine levels. In a recent study of nearly 2,200 people age 65 and older, researchers discovered that both elevated blood folate levels and decreased blood homocysteine levels were associated with better memory function. Asparagus has 190 micrograms of brain-boosting folate per one-half cup serving. Other good sources of folate include artichokes, black-eyed peas, and fortified orange juice and cereals.
Asparagus is a food both you and your girlfriend can enjoy. Pineapple, too.

It's a fruit... it just kind of sits there. I suppose if you give it a hard enough push, or are on a steep incline, it would roll a bit too.

yes, pineapple does the exact opposite of asparagus!
Pineapple smoothy
I didn't like asparagus or spinach when I was a child, because my mom always made the canned variety, and they're both fucking yucky. I've come to accept asparagus on certain things, and I downright love raw spinach.
My mother-in-law always cooks her asparagus until it is the consistency of canned mush. I always wonder if she thinks I under cook mine because it still has the texture of a plant.

My mother-in-law recently had an exchange student from Germany staying with her. She had two negative things to say about food in the USA:
1) we have cheese with EVERYTHING (My response: Yeah....so? Cheese is delicious!)
2) We don't cook our vegetables until they're mush
I like my veggies to have a bit of crisp to them. Especially my green beans. I steam them until they are a nice shade of green. Mushy veggies are teh yuck.

One of the biggest rifts in my marriage - Grumpus likes canned green beans. Brownish, mushy, canned. It baffles me.
My mom cooks her green beans down all the way, puts more water in and does it again.
Sucks every nutrient and vitamin right out of them, but damn they taste good.
