About three years ago I started growing my own, even though I had always dismissed the folks that claimed homegrow were better.

I was wrong.

It was strange to find that I loved a food that I always thought I hated, that I just never had a proper sample. This led the way for me to try more new things, after all, who knows what else I’ve been wrong about?

But I’m still not eating brains…

  • Arrrrggg… brains…
    Whoops, I must still be in zombie mode.

    Wonderful comment Mark, thanks.

So much better than typing all those random letters...) Kudos to you for tackling something you dont care for. Inspiring. I once read that tomatoes are the number one food North American children dislike, based soley on the texture. The article blamed mealy out-of-season tomatoes for most of the dislike...so really, it seems to me, you just have to be choosy and they are palatable! Must easier than changing your mind about pickles... Again, bravo! Rachael (I LOVE your “spam protection” device. So much better than typing all those random letters…)

Mushrooms are a perfect example. Which just leave more fungus for McAuliflower I’m theoretically open to re-trying foods, but I often find that of the things I disliked as a kid, I am indifferent to them now, at best.

It is the reason I discovered 6 years ago that I actually love mushrooms. Kudos to you for following Anthony's advice. I’ve always been a fan of continually re-trying foods as I age.

Eel is one of my favoured foods now. I get weird mad cravings for taro in coconut milk. Tapicoa = heaven to me in all forms. Rabbit? No thank you portion please. Bull's testicles: slightly salty (without having been salted) and chewy.. not bad, but no.
