That sounds pretty good to me.Salad. I refused to eat salad. Of course my mother only knew how to make one salad: Iceberg lettuce and tomato wedges, covered with oil & vinegar dressing seasoned with only salt and pepper.
When I was a kid, I used to eat rhubarb raw out of the garden at my aunt's house. I didn't get many opportunities to do that as a kid, because my aunt lived in a suburb of Copenhagen. We were warned not to eat too much of it, because it would eat the enamel off our teeth. I have no idea if that is true.
I heard that, too, although my dad ate all of an apple, including the stem and seeds. My grandmother ate shrimp shells!We heard if you eat the whole cherry the seeds will stay in your stomach,,, forever.
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.)
Here in my country we have "Ceylon Olive" which is a favourite of all kids.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.

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
Yes I got it confused.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.
