Have you ever willed yourself into liking a food that you do not like?

[CHOPTALK]

I did this one time with tomato's.

I got tired of picking the tomato's out of my pre prepared salads and taking them off sandwiches when I went to a restaurant.
Plus tomatoes are good for you so about 5 or so years ago I committed to liking tomatoes and now I really like them.

Now I am committed to liking avocados.
God I hate avocados but they are so good for you.

This is going to be a real challenge because I dislike avocados more then I use to dislike Tomatoes.

Have any of you ever willed yourself into liking a food?

[SECplayer]

Yep. Ditto with tomatoes. Also sushi.

Never had a problem with Tomatoes ... But...... I did have a dislike of Mushrooms at one time. I didn't "Will" myself to like them... But now will eat them.
Not that I go out of my way to get something that has them. But if I'm eating chicken marsala , I won't push the mushrooms aside.

I do this with "healthy" foods

 

[scottcarter]

Try the way I saw someone here eating it. Fill the half with mayonnaise with a squeeze of lime

And I dislike foods such as mondongo (cow's stomach) because of the texture, but that's about it. It tasted good...

Sushi for me, but now i love it.................

Not food, but as a kid I did that with Cigarrettes and Beer. If only I could turn back time.

 

[TopShelf11]

Carrots. Not cooked though, yuck.

 

[DarkStar]

Don't you love it when BigBill says "bitches" CK?

 

[donkeybucks]

Hated the taste of beer when I first tried it. Although it didn't take much willing afterwards to eventually like it.

Thats funny. Cigarettes are a bitch to quit. I started at 18 and now 40. Can't really say I've ever put in a honest effort in stopping.

use to not eat broccoli or mushrooms, now I like cooked broccoli and raw mushrooms

I wish I could understand the smoking addiction. I've tried it a few times and never once connected with it. Someone explain to me the "high" from cigs. Give me a comparison.

Hard to explain really. You develop a craving for them after time. Initially they smell and taste like shit, but if you are committed you can develop a taste for them. Terrible habit. I smoke maybe 8-10 a day. I started in the military because they would tell us "smoke 'em if you got 'em." It was kind of the only choice they actually gave us in MCT. Don't start.
