Butter and Sour Stuff. For example in cakes and cocktails
Ghost, when they first came into the scene I could not get into them. I loved their look, their lore, and anonymity. When they won their first Grammy I called my best friend who was a huge fan of their and told him to get me into them. He sent me a bunch of videos but I still could not get into it.
Then I saw them open for Iron Maiden and was hooked by the second song. The energy that Papa Emeritus (Terzo) brought to the show, the Ghouls while being anonymous also brought so much. I have been a huge fan since.
The description of Ghost I’ve read online: “Ghost is modern day Kiss of rock/metal music” and I think it’s true. It’s more money generator than band.
I have the opposite feeling regarding ghost, 10 years ago they were a cool growing underground bands with a fun make up and lore, and by the end of the 2010’s you would hear them at the radio, and a lot of drama between Papa and the Ghouls (Magna carta cartel is the former Ghouls band, and the legit successor of Ghost)
Let alone that I can’t afford ticket anymore.
Old people cars… I’m old people now I guess
Sex, as a kid it sounded like a disgusting idea filled with disgusting bodily fluids. As an adult my logical part still finds it disgusting every now and again while my monkey part is horny non-stop.
Also bitter foods, they kind of grow on you as you age
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.
For peppers (and, now that I think of it, quite a lot of vegetables), try grilling them.
Maillard reaction is your friend!
Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!
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.
Yeah, there’s the joke that jr engineers want to be sr engineers and sr engineers want to be farmers (or woodworkers or whatnot). I like both, but I definitely need the balance of doing something physical and working with my hands.
Pickles. Used to hate em, now I will eat dangerous quantities in one sitting.

I’m not going to say I “love” them now, but I appreciate onions’ use in cooking and flavour profiles now. Whereas when I was younger, anything I ate had to have no onion in it whatsoever.
Curry.
Anime lol
Tomatoes! I dunno of Mom started cooking them better or my palate got less restrictive but I’ll eat them a lot these days.
Bacon. My first taste was of boiled bacon. It was like chewing on a fucking pencil eraser. I hated it, but my mom would insist on putting some small cubes on the beans to “give a taste” (it didn’t). Took me some time to finally experiment one that was fried to a crispy dryness. Infinitely better.

🤮🤢 That sounds terrible. I would have been thrown off by that too. I like the crispy kind myself. I found a soggy piece of bacon when I was eating some green beans as a kid. I stopped eating it for a few years after that.
Fermented foods. They definitely changed my taste buds the more I eat/drank them.
Asparagus. It turns out that canned asparagus is gross but steamed is great.
