Is there something that you've tried -- but have not liked -- that you keep trying, in hopes that one day you'll like it? Maybe you think that if it's prepared *that* way instead of *this* way, maybe you'll have an epiphany and enjoy it?
What's the food and why do you keep trying?
PS. I don't have one. If it's an "acquired taste" and I didn't acquire the taste for it on the first go-round, then that's our one and only date. There are so many foods that I *do* enjoy; I don't need this new food to try and woo me.

No--I don't think so. If I don't like something the first time or couple of times, then I would probably be hesitant to try it again, at least for a long time.

Brussels sprouts. Never liked them, no matter how I cook them, or have have them served. Somebody's gotta love them, out there. I hear they are super healthy.
Beer.
All my friends are beer drinkers and when we go out they sample a wide variety of different beers. They keep giving me a taste thinking I will eventually like one. Hasn't happened yet, but it's only been 23 years of trying. Maybe the next one!

Me too...I hate beer
Right now...Almond milk-I think it tastes like dirt. I keep trying it.
Brussels sprouts...I keep trying because they're super cute (and good for you).
Beer (well, dark beer anyway)...I tried and tried to like beer when I was married to a beer drinker. The closest I came was dark beer. Every now and then I try a new one to see if it will be "the one".

You never know if your taste will change, so it is worth a occasional taste of disliked foods. I still don't like lima beans, though.
I love mushrooms and I love shrimp, but I'm soooo with you on the lima beans. Those dry nuggets from hell just won't go down.

I love Brussels sprouts -- a little salt, a little olive oil, bake 'em at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes (until they're almost black) and they're delicious. It tastes like they have balsamic vinegar on them, but they don't. Good eats!
Beer. That I can't do either. My ex-husband brewed his own. Even the smell made me sick, from start to finish of the brewing. Dark, light, in-between -- it didn't matter. I hated it. Bitter, bitter hops. Feh!
Almond milk. I tried that once. I thought it would be sweet and taste like almonds. It was neither. One try was plenty. Feh!
