Could not stand squash or intact eggs growing up. I've come around on the squash, love it now...not so much on the eggs.

I never expected to like spaghetti squash but that stuff is delicious!

Deep fried alligator. (Had at a Cajun restaurant.) Also mussels.

But even more strange to me now than being initially averse to "esoteric" foods is that I never thought I would like chili or any kind of fish except "tunafish" sandwiches and fish sticks. This was because my mom was a terrible cook who made very few things that did not have tomato soup or hamburger (usually both) as the main ingredient.

My husband is a very good cook, and it was only though his efforts that I changed my mind about many kinds of foods.

I've never seen it on a menu. Guess I will have to try it is I see it.

Only enjoyed kangaroo once in my life, on a trip to Sydney, Australia. Was hesitant at first, but after having a few cold “Victoria Bitters” or “VB” (local lager/beer) with my traveling companions, we ordered kangaroo steaks and they were delicious!

Never tried emu.

Anchovies. I love 'em!
Caviar, it's good!
Alligator--at a diner in Florida
The sushi mega-boat, just about everything on it. The meaty tougher sushis I like, octopus, shark, etc., and don't like the mushy stuff.
Wouldn't eat tomatoes growing up, now I grow them.
Went to a $350 restaurant in Florence, medieval traditional cooking done snooty style, brains, lungs, calf hooves dumpster stuff (to me) on the menu, I had the chicken parmesean, call me chicken if you like...I was.

Corn bread was an adventure and I learned to be it.
