I heard that, too, although my dad ate all of an apple, including the stem and seeds. My grandmother ate shrimp shells!
Then in seventh grade, I learned how the digestive system really works. Did anyone else read the "I Am Joe's Body" series? My seventh grade science teacher used those essays as handouts.

Mushrooms. Just couldn't then, can't get enough of them now.
(I saw broccoli come up several times in the thread, so I have to share. I used to LOVE broccoli. And I loved it raw, raw and organic. One evening, I was happily munching dinner and I saw I grub whose green perfectly matched the green of the broccoli. I have not been able to eat raw broccoli ever again -- oh, how much insect protein had I been eating? That thought still sends shivers down my spine.)

Forgot completely, but yes, couldn't eat mushrooms til I was in my 20's! Now.. can't get enough.
LOL - the broccoli would certainly make me think twice should I come across a juicy grub!

My mother always soaked broccoli and cauliflower in heavily salted water for an hour or two to get rid of any unwanted invertebrates. I don't know if it works, but I have read that recommendation elsewhere too. Oh, and the soaking was followed by thorough rinsing.

It's not a vegetable, but I think it fits this thread. As a child, I did not like olives, now I just love olives, I would even say that I am addicted to it.

Here in my country we have "Ceylon Olive" which is a favourite of all kids.

When I was a kid, I used to eat it raw, straight out of the garden
I wouldn't eat rhubarb or anything with rhubarb in it when I was a kid, and I still won't. My neighbors had rhubarb growing on the side of their house, and their cat used to pee on it.

But, rhubarb has oxalic acid which binds well with calcium. I still don't know if rhubarb is actually harmful to teeth if eaten raw, in quantity.
Hi there RobinWhite! Welcome to DC!
I too am addicted to Olives! Green, Black, stuffed ... with anything!
I've been known to buy a jar, in the parking lot, pour out the liquid, by the time I get home not too much is left!
But I have no idea if I hated them as a kid. I think I loved black olives first - Mom would only put them on the holiday table at the very last minute because I would just woof them down.

Walmart house brand cheese stuffed green olives. I’m pretty sure they are from Santa Barbara Olive company @ 1/2 the price.
Lee, not sure I'm understanding your post? Did you hate them and now love them? or like me, always Have! and love them for ever! LOL
Did you mean to quote lastmanstanding? Because, I don't think the two of you are talking about the same thing.
I looked up "Ceylon olives" on Wikipedia and they look like an olive, but they are not what we call an olive. They aren't even vaguely related to the olives that come from the Mediterranean areas. They are the fruit of a tropical plant that is indigenous to Sri Lanka.
