Everything! My mother was the boringest cook in the world. Always the same bland stuff night and night, week after week, etc..Meatloaf, baked chicken, pork chops. Now I love all kinds of foods and ethnic foods especially Mexican, Polish and Italian. Recently tried collard greens and loved them.

I've always eaten cheddar and swiss and the likes, but blue cheeses, brie, havardi, gouda... I wouldn't have touched those with a 27 foot pole when I was younger and now I'm a cheese fiend.

It isn't things I was "recently introduced to" as my parents always ate a large variety of foods. I used to be a horribly picky eater. Pretty much, I ate meat products of any sort without question. When I was 8 I saw nothing wrong with eating un peeled whole shrimp (eyes and legs intact) but everything wrong with eating anything green. Then I became a vegetarian and tried to live off pasta and tofu and almost keeled over and then I entered a period of food acceptance. Now I'll eat literally anything at least once.

Yogurt was one of the first foods introduced to me by my college roommate's mother. Also introduced to Mexican food in college. Ate salmon for the first time about 10 years ago as well as Thai. Eat all of these regularly now.

I am surprised yogurt is such an exotic and acquired taste to so many!

Eggs! not later in life, but shortly after I got away from my parents. I claimed egg allergies all thru school.

I was on road trip & pic of omelet looked sooo good-waitress assured me eggs would not be runny (you can guess how my mother's eggs were!).

I agree. Even though it was the sugary crap, I always ate yogurt.
