27 comments

1. Cooked carrots

2. Blue cheese

3. Brussel sprouts. My dad used to boil them and barely salt them. Now I roast them and glaze them with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar.

4. Spinach

5. I was never a fan of tahdig (Persian word) which is the leftover crispy rice that you find at the bottom of the pot. For some reason I just didn’t like the texture.

   I started loving it once I was in my teens.

6. Cheese.

7. Cauliflower cheese!

8. Salmon

9. Spinach

10. Pumpkins. I did not like it because it was too hard,then I lived in the province with the tastiest,softest pumpkins ever and I love it now!

11. Peas

12. Chicken liver

13. Sushi

14. Most of it tbh lol
    I was always a super picky eater, and just a few years ago I realized how arbitrary my food exclusions were (and that it might just be part of my OCD). I’ll try pretty much anything these days, although ideally I do want to go vegetarian or even vegan.

15. Broccoli. Give me those little trees NOW

16. Pickles

17. Asparagus. Would not touch it as a child, love it now. The only downside is the smell when you go pee after.

18. Tomatos

19. Twix candy bars lol. Also mushrooms

20. pretty much everything. I grew out of most of my food issues.

    except lychees. they still remind me of eyeballs 👀

21. Eggplant. A friend of mine from Turkey taught me how to actually prepare it and changed everything

22. Dark chocolate, bell peppers as well as hard boiled eggs.

23. Avocado

24. Edamame. They smack. Used to taste like I was eating lawn clippings to me but something changed I guess.

25. Onions and garlic. I didn’t realize how much flavour they provide to dishes until I had to live and cook by myself

26. Onions

27. Avocado and coffee. Had an epiphany with avocado some years ago. And now I fucking love it. And coffee, well, college…
