Thunder Moose: S.J.C.

I used to hate the oatmeal raisin cookie: dirty little rake of a snack trying to pass itself off as a clearly superior product; yet now I find them quite enjoyable.

Deviled eggs? I used to despise the very mentioning of their name but now I'll down several in a sitting because they are pretty good.

I used to dislike pickles; now I can enjoy the odd one now and then.

Mushrooms and I have signed in blood a pact of eternal hatred I'm afraid.

I used to HATE HATE HATE onions, especially on pizza. It was something about the way they crunched when you ate pizza. To little me, pizza wasn't crunchy and if it was something was very wrong.

onions maybe? Honey mustard I guess. Regular mustard still terrifies me because I saw some hosed up mustard stuff as a kid.

Brussels sprouts. TV and the way everyone's parents generally made them (endless boiling) made me think they were really gross. Then I had some properly roasted ones and realized they were good.

lol all the generic "kids in cartoons hate this" vegetables were some of my favorite foods as a kid... lima beans, broccoli, peas, bruss sprouts, and meanwhile the thing i couldn't stand was ketchup

to be fair as a kid i saw brussels sprouts mostly as a vehicle for butter

in reverse when I was a lad I liked to eat spinach. I ate it very muchly because of the Popeye'd Sailor Person. But now in my old age I don't really eat it that much anymore.

To be fair a lot of our parents were trained that if any food wasn't ultra-over cooked and processed their families would die in front of them

my mother was a 70s-drug-hippie who decided, in the 80s, to be as 80s as possible, and become a secretary in upper-class new jersey (up near Mt. Zion, far from the pollutions of Trenton and Newark, where the malls were 3 stories high and swaggering and roaming the woods was our only entertainment aside from our bicycles) and then married an executive at RCA. she somehow didn't figure out that food didn't exist in that mythology because cocaine kills your appetite. i legit can't remember a single thing she ever cooked other than spaghetti.

Sour cream. The name makes it sound like it's going to be gross and as a kid I only had it when it was in some random aunt's gross casserole. Now I know it as a Mexican food enhancer. It's pretty good.

Sour cream things, Mexican food

I've grown to appreciate sour cream only when used in conjunction with pierogis. And I don't like guacamole unless it's in a burrito.

Started diggin on some hummus big time though :3:
