Foods you disliked until you reached adulthood

Buffalo wings.



I was probably 27 years old before I would eat them. Not because they smelled bad. But because the orange colored sauce made my brain just immediately say "NO WAY"

Then one day, drunk, I ordered an appetizer combo that had a few. I gave it a try and discovered they are fucking delicious. That's when I started eating spicy food in general. Salsa that sets your face on fire. The hottest thai food places will make. Stuff like that.

2-3 years later I developed acid reflux and now any spicy foods fuck me up.

Life is stupid.

Lots. Oysters stand out though because as a kid I thought people who ate them had something wrong with them, for real. Now, I think they are one of the few perfect foods. I have had just about everything from offal, most other organ meat to bugs. I'd list them, but you probably have too if you've ever eaten a hot dog. To this day, I have yet to have a calves' liver prepared to my liking and I will never eat Tilapia

To this day, I have yet to have a calves' liver prepared to my liking...

I haven't had a good calf's liver since 1990!
At the time, I was working in one of the restaurants at the Inter-Continental Hotel in London. I don't recall all the ingredients now but the calf's liver was perfectly grilled with shallots, a port wine sauce( maybe it was a jus, don't remember exactly), thyme, sage and served with the best Rösti I have ever had.
