As a kid I was a very picky eater. Once I became an adult, and had my own place and only ate my own cooking, I loved going to other people's house to eat just about anything I did not have cook.
One girlfriend had her birthday the week before Thanksgiving. I was invited to her parents house, and got along fine with them. Her mom cooked a great meal, and I complimented her cooking and asked for seconds. I told her I had learned from a buddy to compliment the cook, and ask for seconds, and you will get invited back. A week later was Thanksgiving, and my mom went to Africa with a big group from the local zoo. Dad went to some other relatives house, so I was invited to my girlfriends house. Her mom pointed out it worked this time, but not again! Her dad hired me to help him with his computer.
I will never forget when we went to a local Cajun restaurant that has great food. As a side dish I ordered the delicious squash Rockefeller. My mom feigned a heart attack at me ordering squash as I was not a fan of it growing up. Now I like broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower, but not as a kid.
As an adult I can't think of any food I don't like that I used to. I used to drink soda. I have not had a soda in decades, they are just too sweet, and the diet crap sucks.
