Hey Pandas, What's A Food That Sounded Really Gross But When You Tried It You Actually Liked It? (Closed)

hear me out,
green olives on tacos. it’s just so- idk it gives it the tang it needed
*chefs kiss*

I spent 60 years believing what everybody said about spinach. Then I tried it and it became my favorite vegetable!

Broccoli salad: broccoli, red onion, mayonnaise and cashew. I don't know, maybe it won't sound that gross to you, but the first time I saw it it seemed gross.

Goat's feet. There's a dish from Pakistan called Pie (not the usual pie, its spelled پاے). "Pie" in Urdu literally means feet, and I had eaten my fill before I found our that I had just eaten goats feet. It tastes really good 😋

Ketchup sandwiches.

pickle juice

Cockles. With a bit of salt and vinegar.

Hear me out but I always had this when I was 5 or 6 and I just realized how weird it sounds. It’s actually really good. A tortilla with chocolate, bananas, and… cheese! Cheese and chocolate sounds wrong but I love it in a tortilla.

Haggis - the ingredients sound off-putting to many. But if you keep an open mind it's delicious.

Morcilla - Spanish Blood Sausage. Best Blood Sausage I've ever had.

Crudo di Mare - raw Italian seafood (tuna, swordfish, squid, red shrimp, langostines etc.). One of my favorite dishes now.

Natto - fermented soybeans. Delicious - but not for everybody.

Pineapple on my pizza.

Mushrooms. They’re fantastic. Also avocados. Looked super gross. Was sailing w my grandparents when I was around 9 and my grandmother convinced me to try them. Now that’s a favorite memory and a favorite food!!

Cottage cheese when I was younger. Now I hate it

Anchovies, Gefilte Fish and Sardines

Mangos. Was missing out on mangos for 13 years.

Chicken intestine. Imagine if gummy bears tasted like meat. Thick & chewy texture.
I was on a date in old-town Chongqing, China, a tourist area, and this nurse i was seeing wanted to know if it was okay to have it in our hotpot. Pleasantly surprised

Raw horse. With garlic and ginger and soy, amazing. Also raw squid, yum!

Roasted peppers. Wow.

Guacamole. I hate avocado (don’t like the texture or taste) so I assumed I didn’t like guacamole, i tried it with chips and it’s now one of my favorite snacks!

Tofu.

When I went vegan I had to try it, right?
I took a bit off the block of raw tofu and ate it. Yeuch…!

Then I did what I should’ve done in the first place: find recipes…! Now I know how to cook it and I love it.

It’s not a staple of billions of people for nothing.
