Yup it's that kind of week.
What food do you now eat that you used to really dislike?
For me it's olives, sprouts and sushi. There are others that I'll have to think about.
Next please... |  | | |  |

Definitely all manner of fish, really excellent to cook in various ways. On the bbq is favourite. Here red tuna can be bought for around €9 a kilo. Red snapper too. Never thought I would enjoy the local ‘pulpo’ ( octopus) |  |

A bit off topic maybe? There seems to be one 'legendary' food that if you dislike it you always will? Most dislikers I assume will never come around to find it mouth watering delicious. That food is lavabread.
It seems to have either a retching quality effect or the total opposite where someone just cannot get enough of the stuff. One crazy foodstuff that! There seems to be no inbetween either total dislike or total love for ther stuff. |  |

Now enjoy Calamari - the thought of it was enough to put off when younger.
Really enjoy a Madras curry , taste buds changing with age I think. |  | | |

I'm deffo in the hate lavabread camp!
There isn't really anything I eat now I didn't used to. I used to think I didn't like Greek food, until I went to Greece!
Hang on, Tiramisu, never liked the thought of a coffee desert when I was young, I'd eat it all the tine now. | |

Laverbread, a proper man's food, puts hair on your chest as we were told growing up in South Gower.
An acquired taste for the gentry, they now say. Washed down with a Galician dark red (Northwest Spain region, our early brethren, uncanny similarities with our South West Wales topography too).
(though I believe we re now restricted to Laverbread and cockles from the Dee, due to train fuel spillage in the Loughor estuary earlier this year).

Red wine and spicy food.
Was never a fan of curry (still prefer Chinese) but over the last few years have branched out a bit. I'm never going to be one of those Vindaloo eating loonies, but a Kashmiri Murgh goes down nicely now.
Red wine I used to actively avoid until I made my own Merlot with the intent of giving most of it away. Since then I'll tuck into any of it. |  |

I was brought up in quite a poor home, so it was basically, eat what was on the table or go hungry.
Being a nutritional and cheap food, Cawl was on the menu very, very often, I couldn't stand the stuff, but it was eat or go without, so I ate.
For years, the very thought of eating Cawl made me feel physically sick, that was until about 28 years ago when my wife made some for the kids during a particularly bad cold snap of weather, she served it with fresh crusty bread (they loved it).
Anyway, the bread looked so nice, I picked up a piece and dipped it into the juice of the Cawl, since then I absolutely love the stuff, and I now make it five or six times during the winter months (Lamb or Beef brisket)
Cool story ? [Post edited 6 Oct 2021 14:00]

No CAWL story!
I love Cawl, I make it in a slow cooker. Just like Chilli or curry, it's better the next day.
I grew up in a poor home. Had a larder but no fridge when I was very young. Nothing got thrown out. We had Sunday lunch and every bit of veg left, gravy and all went in a bowl to be fried for tea on Monday.
Here we go look, reminiscing, we didn't have a proper bath either. When I was 4 it was a big tin bath in front of the coal fire, it was 1971. | |

Great thread Gloss.
For me,although it is not really a food,mayonnaise .For us older ones ,nearest we got to it was Heinz Salad Cream normally served at funerals.
Food I ate which I never would now is much but led by the grotesque laverbread and cockles .
I’ve never understood them although we were forced fed this on Saturday lunchtime prior to the Vetch.
Also Sterilised Milk . Those of you who think you have it hard should reflect on us being served this sheetite with Typhoo tea made with leaves not bags . | |

Some lovely responses and some of them chime with me. We lived frugal but not poverty-stricken lives when I was a nipper. What I detested in particular where tinned potatoes, broad beans and courgettes. I would hide the broad beans in the welsh dresser draws, or excuse myself from the table to spit the vile contents in my mouth down the toilet. To think I'd imagined myself as a successful sleuth...
But as I've grown older I'll eat any vegetables aside from whole, cold tomatoes. Aubergines are lovely in a Spanish dishes called barquettes, and since eating at Govinda's in Swansea, I've happily eaten all sorts of wonderfully-seasoned veg!
As for cawl, we would instead have chicken stock soup. Bread, thick and crusty. A dollop or Marmite seasoned it beautifully. It would stretch for days. Not many things more homely and warming, in every sense. | | | |

You should have called the tuna police to investigate. | | | |
