Foods you hated as a child, but now can't live without

That's exactly what it was like. But there was no "cheese" taste to it. It more like a manufactured non-dairy cheese-like food product (er - yeah! Velveeta! ). I wonder what the nutritional value of that stuff was? It wasn't the most horrible tasting stuff in the world but far from champagne and caviar.

 
Maybe we had different gov't cheese in Kentucky(under Carter and Reagan), but I thought it tasted like Land O Lakes American.
I remember the peanut butter not being good, and getting bags and bags of rice.  Of course back then I thought minute rice was the 'end all be all' of rice...

I love peanut butter, but I agree the government pb was not good at all.  I don't know how they even called it peanut butter.

When I was a kid I wouldn't eat raw tomatoes, spinach of any kind, cantaloupe, strawberries...now I like all these things. I'm sure there are more I used to turn my nose up at but now love.

The only one I can think of is tomatoes.  And I never really disliked those...I just wanted to be like my aunt Dawn!  She was over for dinner when I was about 5, and she said something about hating tomatoes.  I'd always liked them before, but decided that if she hated them, I hated them.

I refused to eat tomatoes for about 10 years after that.  After awhile I was genuinely convinced that I didn't like the taste of them.  Love them now that I gave them another chance, though.   

I must've been a weird kid, because I always liked avocados and broccoli and such.  Oh, I did hate mustard.  That's another one I actually like now.  But most of the stuff that I disliked then I think I still dislike now.

I cant remember if I posted this before or not, so sorry if I did But when I was growing up, for a time my grandparents took the 4 of us in, and had to get help from the gov't to feed us..I remember going down in a basement in a church and getting that sort of thing, and the massive amounts of cheese...it wasnt until I was an adult that I knew what the term gov't cheese meant...  

My grandmother (the onion eater) put salt on watermelon, and black pepper on canteloupe. Despite how it sounds, both are pretty tasty.

my whole family does salt on  both,except my grandma who couldnt have salt so used pepper...i personally like them as nature made them

I hated canteloupe as  a kid, love it now
