QOTD: Monday
Yay a new week:
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
and the reverse:
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
Re: QOTD: Monday
Fun!
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now? Swiss cheese, avocadoes/guacamole, wine (not that I drank it a lot growing up, but you know what I mean--never had a taste for it until I tried the good stuff. Same with coffee).
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now? Anything with that fake cheese powder like cheese puffs, white bread (like Wonder Bread), most fast food. I think I've kind of moved away from all that processed stuff so I've lost a taste for it, although every so often (i.e. hangover) they do taste good.

Disliked: Just about everything! Pineapple, fish, vegetables, peaches, sushi...
I had a such a limited diet as a kid I think the only thing I no longer like is sugary drinks (apple juice, orange juice, etc..)
Disliked but now enjoy:
Green beans,
Spaghetti sauce. I think I was just going through an obnoxious adolescent phase.
Scallops. But my grandmother always made those tiny little frozen scallops that were super fishy and tough. Ugh.
Liked but is now gross:
Vienna sausages. Also courtesy of my grandmother. I think I mentioned before how a friend of mine gives these to her 2 year old DD on a regular basis and I judge her hard
Kool Aid
Pizza Hut Meat Lovers Pizza. Do they even make that anymore? Just thinking about it gives me heart burn.
And bonus: weird things I loved as a kid and STILL love: lebanon bologna, Miracle Whip, cream cheese and olive sandwiches.
this is hard b/c i like(d) most foods growing up and what i didn't like then i still don't like.
disliked, but now like: black eye peas, green peas, scallops (only prepared one way)
liked then but now don't like: super sugary stuff - gives me a headache, applesauce
can't think of anything else!
i didn't then and still don't like nuts
Used to love but now hate: bologna, sugary drinks like kool-aid, cool whip (it tastes too fake to me)
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
ground beef (especially meatloaf), pot roast, Chinese food (I had a spicy sauce aversion but it was my parents' favorite cuisine... I only ordered egg drop soup until I was like 12)
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
Lunchables (
)
Scout
Chocolate Blog!
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now? avocados/guacamole, lentils/beans, goat cheese
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now? fast food, Kraft American cheese, and really anything overly processed (can't think of specifics)
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now? beets, peas and squash. I did not like the way my Mom cooked them.
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now? brussel sprouts are the only thing I can think of.
disliked growning up: brussels sprouts. But I freaking love them now.
dislike now: tomatoes. Allegedly when I was little I used to pick tomatoes from my grandma's garden and eat them like an apple. Today, I can't even cut up a tomato without wanting to puke.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Oh, yeah! These too. Yum.

What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
ketchup, tomatoes in moderation, and cereal (any kind - hate soggy stuff).
and the reverse:
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
yogurt (not a big fan of it) is about the only thing I can think of.
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
My tastes have greatly expanded since I was young. My parents didn't really expose us to that diverse of food.
Three things I can think of are chili, brussel sprouts, and raisins.
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
Mostly unhealthy stuff that I realized was really bad for me.
McDonalds, soda (I'll drink it every now and then, but not a big fan), and yellow american cheese

What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now? i was an insanely picky kid and am still pretty picky but will try new things and re-try things i used to hate once in awhile. as a kid i didn't really like bacon, scallops, and shrimp and now those are some of my favorite foods.
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now? a lot of processed foods in general, i used to love twinkies, wonder bread, chef boyardee which all turn me off now. (though i still love kraft mac & cheese, oreos, and cheez-its once in awhile)
i still gag a little when mayo or anything mayo-based is near me *barf*
Disliked growing up/like now: hummus, goat cheese, veggies without copious amounts of cheese sauce or cream of something soup
Loved as a kid/dislike now: bologna and cheese, Corn Pops (too sweet), and...I can't think of a third. Most of the foods I loved as a kid that are horribly processed or bad for you I still appreciate in moderation, once or twice a year. (Like mac & cheese from a box, Pop Tarts, broccoli slathered with cheese sauce.)
Disliked: Whole grain breads, sweet potatoes, apples
Liked: Tastycakes, Pizza Hut pizza, buffets (Golden Corral, etc.)
As you may be able to guess, I wasn't exactly the paragon of health in my younger years.
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
Fish (though I'm just easing my way in... I like mahi mahi and tilapia so far). Can't think of any other foods.
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
Eggs! I'm told I ate them with ketchup as a very young child, but I don't remember. I tried scrambled eggs as an adult and wanted to gag. I used to not even be able to stand the smell of them, but I'm getting better.
Planning Bio
What were 3 foods you disliked growing up that you like now?
Blue cheese, broccoli and meatloaf.
What foods growing up did you love but can't stand now?
Velveeta. Another vote for Vienna sausages (gross!). Tuna fish sandwiches - I ate one EVERY day for lunch from kindergarten to 5th grade (along with nacho cheese Doritos and kool aid) and now even the smell of tuna makes me gag. Not an issue with Doritos now ? though I try to enjoy them only a few times a year. Also, I think I must have REEKED when I was a kid. Tuna and nacho cheese Doritos? Seriously??
1. Most veggies, sweet potatoes and stewed meat
2. Gefilte fish, sardines, and all sorts of sugary highly processed food (I actually may still like sardines, but I can't bring myself to eat them anymore).
Disliked then, like now: homemade pizza, lasagna, chicken or beef pot pie
Liked then, can't stand now: hot dogs, Kraft mac and cheese, bologna, American cheese
Disliked as a kid: spaghetti sauce, raw tomatoes, asparagus
I can't really think of anything Ioved as a kid, but can't stand now. I no longer eat red meat or pork, so I guess anything made with those. Beef Stroganoff is probably the biggest dish I miss.
