Foods you hated as a kid but now love.
When I was a kid my dad used to bring home pimento cheese, I couldn't stand the stuff.
Recently I was accosted by a food demonstrator at a local specialty market who was peddling pimento cheese. I told her that I never liked it and wasn't interested. I wasn't ugly about it, more playful. She assured me that the stuff you buy off the shelf at the mass grocers is an inferior product and I really should try her cheese.
WOW! Was it good! Yesterday I swung by a local deli that is reported to have the best pimento cheese in town. My wife has never had it and rolled her eyes when I parked the car and ran inside to buy some with pita chips. When we got home we were just amazed at how good it was.
This afternoon I introduced my teenage daughter to this Southern delicacy and she was hooked. When the wife came in the door she asked if we still had some. I suspect that pimento cheese will be a staple in our house.
What is pimento cheese? Check it out here.
Any food you didn't care for as a child but now love?

Beer. Granted not food but I thought that stuff tasted like vinegar. And sushi. When I read The Old Man and the Sea I thought Santiago was gross for eating raw fish...
