If I had the money, I would fly to the Middle East just for a shawarma. One of the best dishes I have ever had. It's kind of like the gyro with the use of pita bread and the same type of meat but with different seasoning and toppings, simply amazing. I ate it a couple dozen times while in Afghanistan.
Shawarma here, too, in the middle of the Midwest! I know you're in Alaska, but you don't have to go all the way to the Middle East for it!

Lobster is definitely one. Never had it as a kid and now I loooove it. As a kid I always thought they looked big and scary lol. Crab legs is another one. Asparagus is a food I was offered as a kid but never tried because I thought it looked gross. Love it now. Shepherd's pie is another one i had never even seen as a child let alone tasted. It's pretty good. I can't think of anything else right now :-)
Alot of fruits and vegetables, everything we ate growing up was your basic goto like, corn, green beans, broccoli.. Apples, oranges, grapes, bananas...
