With me it's scalloped potatoes. Used to really hate it. Now it's one of my favourites.
So, any foods you used to dislike, but now love?

Well... That one is a hard one for ME to answer.
My parents raised me not to be a picky eater, and so there are very few foods that I dislike. Most foods that are placed in front of me at the dinner table I can eat, though I may not order it at a restaurant, or cook it for myself. I also find that sometimes I get tired of eating the same things all the time, and every once in a while I will make something my mom "forced" me to eat, as a change of pace...
So, I can't really think of anything that I disliked as a kid, that I now enjoy eating as an adult.
However, I do remember the first time I tried refried beans as a kid, I didn't like them at all... And then a year or two later, still as a kid, I tried them again, and loved them. I remember that at least one of those tastings was from a restaurant, but can't remember which one. Maybe it was two different restaurants?... Anyway, I have loved refried beans, ever since.
So, I just assume that the reason why I didn't like them the first time, was probably due to the cook, somehow making them, in a way that I didn't like.
The most common way I like them is made this way...
Refried Beans, 'Red' Sauce/Mild Taco Sauce, Diced Onion, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, & Sour Cream...
MMMMM Good!

Cheese in any form. Now that I'm older, I love cheese. Wouldn't eat cheese or pizza when I was kid. Now I love em. That reminds me... I had a schoolmate in elementary school that wouldn't eat the cheese that came on his pizza at lunch time... I've always loved cheese, and so, he gave me the cheese off his pizza!  ...That schoolmate was the only child that I can recall growing up with that wouldn't eat cheese. I just assumed he would not eat it, because he had an ALLERGY of some sort... Most kids I knew liked Dairy Products, such as Milk and Cheese. String Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Macaroni & Cheese, and Pizza were all quite popular with most of my classmates. A family friend that I grew up with, was a very picky eater, and he practically lived on mostly eating Tuna Fish. However he would eat the cheese on pizza... Unfortunately for him, he stayed a picky eater into his young adulthood, and would pick off most of the toppings on a shared pizza, but would still eat the cheese. This is surprising for me to learn that there are so many young people that don't LIKE the taste cheese...But do like it as adults. I wonder why that is? |

I used to dislike olives, and while I wouldn't go as far as saying that I now love them, I do happily eat them when they are served as appetizers.

...I used to hate hate hate stinky cheese. Then I purchased a ripe wedge of Pont l'Eveque. The stench was unbearable, but the cheese itself was like ambrosia.

Fried Tilapia
I used to go angling as a kid and Tilapia being very common, caught myself quite a few. Back then, I didn't think it tasted special. Fast forward to the present, recently mom cooked me fried Tilapia bought from the fishmonger and due to her ever improving cooking skills, it tasted awesome.

Black olives. Now I really like them especially on pizza. And brussel sprouts. Now I sometimes eat them with just butter, garlic and salt as a snack.  |

We had bitter ones when I was a kid. Now I roast 'em with olive oil, a lot of crushed garlic, and lots of black or white ground pepper. Same with tomatoes. |

Chicken, I got sick on it when I was a kid, but now it's a favorite! OTOH, I used to like wine, but got symptoms of arsenic poisoning from one of my favorites. Both of my suppliers have varieties on this list of contaminated California wines. I quit drinking wine entirely and now my mainstays are bourbon and beer. 🐔, ¡sí!
🚫🍷,¡no!
