Onions, garlic, a few other foods. After I went vegan I had to make a lot more of my own food, and knowing what went into it and how it was made helped me get over a lot of my picky eating.
Still hate peppers though.
Pickles. Used to hate em, now I will eat dangerous quantities in one sitting.
Farming. I worked on the neighboring farm as a teenager. Then, after a long series of jobs and education, became a software engineer. Being a software engineer taught me something: I miss working on a farm.
Parmigiano Reggiano
Cheese. Until I lived in Europe and discovered there was more than American and cheddar.
Green vegetables
Onions.
As a kid I thought they were alien and gross, and now thinking back I can still see that. But at some point, I had a burger with minced onions on it and was like “oh these things are great” and was a fan ever since. My onion smell is physical dominance 💪
Turn-based RPGs.
Although only very few of those are in my top favorites, but back then DESPISED the genre, because of a really bad experience playing one as a child.
Gardening.
Previously my only gardening experience was my mom yelling at me to weed outside in the hot summer sun.
Now that I live alone, I started getting potted plants, and there is something wonderful about sharing my space with green growing things. I have a few that have really taken to the environment and amount of sunlight, watching them grow is wonderful. Marveling when one of my little planty bois randomly flowers, and there’s something so stress-relieving about digging your hands into soil when it’s time to re-pot.
Yeah, I’m getting back into gardening despite the whole being yelled at to help garden as a kid! Also if the plants die, when I cry over them, I won’t be told I’m being melodramatic!
Mobile gaming. I still kind of hate it but after finding some good games and using emulators, I’ve grown to except it and I do actively play games on mobile now.
as a kid I really hated mushrooms bc of the texture. now I love them so long as they aren’t on their own (on a burger or smth like that).
Dirty vocals in death and doom metal
I think for me, like 5% of total lyrics is my limit; if it’s all so screamy/growly/distorted that I can’t understand it, I’ve lost interest.
Same for me until I started listening to some bands like Helevorn, Woods of Ypres, and Ghost Brigade. I’m into the more melodic genres.
Sean Killian’s vocals from Vio-lence.
Old people cars… I’m old people now I guess
Thought I hated pasta, turns out, it was just the cheese, not the actual pasta.
Golf, kind of
