Foods youve always hated but people think theyre acceptable.

you must have made a big effort!

I used to hate cheese but came around to it because it was in so any cooked meals. I couldn't eat a piece of cheese on its own though.

It wasn't like I was trying them every day, but as a kid, they were the worst thing I had ever eaten, including mud and grass. Then like in my 20's tried them and thought meh, don't like, don't dislike and then in 30's tried them and thought, they're awesome.

You not even like a little bit of fresh grated mild cheddar (not the packet crap)? I can understand why someone couldn't just take a bite out of a brick of cheese, although I could, and have :LOL:
 
I've just found myself thinking back about my ex who was scared of peaches. This is probably going to sound awful, but I managed to make her cat become scared of all fruit. He used to like sleeping on the kitchen table and I wasn't happy about that, so I hatched a plan. There was a fruit bowl at the other end of the table and every time I saw the cat sleeping on there I'd carefully take an apple or an orange or a banana or something out of the bowl and place it down right in front of the cat's face so that it would be the first thing that he saw when he woke up. It worked. It freaked him the f*ck out. I convinced him that every time he fell asleep on the kitchen table the fruit from the fruit bowl came alive and tried to attack him. That stopped him from sleeping on the table. I won.
 
I can't stand coffee chocolate, or anything supposedly coffee flavoured, other than actual coffee (which I love).

I know this is probably odd.
 
Snails - FFS!, who's idea was that? tried them once in France and even the garlic couldn't diguise the vile flavour.

Obviously agree with liver, kidney (anything floppy and inside an animal...barf).

NOW - for me coffee and chocolate are the perfect partners - I love anything flavoured with coffee!

Me mam used to make coffee cake when I was a kid - maybe it comes from that

Anyone who says they like Tofu is lying.

Crap texture, taste and it's not even cheap, so I don't actually see what the point is, in choosing this over something else? Sure it's got some protein in it, but only like 8%, and there's other beans and peas with the same which taste better.

I can eat it, but I'd rather not.

I’ve had some amazing tofu dishes when living in Asia but rarely had anything decent in the UK.

For a start, never eat bolognese with spaghetti. It should always be made with tagliatelle. There's no such thing as spaghetti bolognese in Italy. I've always preferred bolognese with tagliatelle as it soaks up the flavour more. Yet I only found out that fact a few years ago. 👍

I know an Italian family well, and they love spag bol, cooked the Italian way of course.
 
Sometimes you find that it depends on which variety you have been served and how it has been cooked

Liver at school dinners was not great but I adore lambs liver lightly cooked - proper Lasagne has chicken livers in it !

Kidneys - lambs again are great, fried

Black pudding in Bury area is often boiled and served with mustard How can Black Pudding not be sliced and fried

.. and I also like oysters preferably with champagne

That is genius. It's like something out of the twits.

Exactly if your going to be a vegi then eat vegetables not burgers or sausage with plant based in front of it.

Depends why you’re vegetarian. Also, a plant based burger nowadays doesn’t taste much different in my opinion, especially when it’s covered in relish/lettuce/tomatoes and all the other stuff that goes on burgers. When I used to eat meat, I ate burgers, but it was more for what went on it rather than the quality of the “meat” itself. Sausages even more so.

Olives used to be one of my most detested foods, but over time I've come to love them, it's strange mind, how I've powered through that.

I love olives now but also hated them initially. Apparently it’s really common, read a thing that said if you eat one a day most people love them after a month

I know an Italian Boro lad , and asked him what was the secret in a Spaghetti Bol , he replied , his dad always added the murky water off the spaghetti to the bolognaise .
I have done it ever since , the kids loved it from day one , adds something .
I will try the tagliatelle next though , sounds interesting.
Celery is my can't do , followed by leeks .
 
Fish. How anyone can order anything from that stinking wet fish counter in Morrison's blows my mind.

It's unacceptable, smells rotten, how can anyone want to eat anything that smells that rank????

Common thing to do, with a lot of things requiring sauces, the starch washes off the spaghetti and this pasta water helps to thicken up sauces. Same as why places don't over drain the pasta etc.

Things often taste better when thicker/ less watery, but surprisingly adding the pasta water will make sauces thicker not thinner, but you need a bit of time just to burn that initial extra moisture off, effectively only leaving mainly the starch.
