Do you have a "Green Eggs and Ham"?

You know, a dish that you either swore you wouldn't like or just didn't like it at the time and now you do?

I have hated greens beans for 33 years.  Therefore, I hated green bean casserole (plus, it had/has mushrooms.  Blech).  Sometime over the summer I strangely wanted some green beans (I'm fixed, so no pg cravings there, lol) and as it turns out, they're not bad.  I don't care for them lukewarm or cold, but they're my vegetable of choice now.  So.....I made some green bean casserole the other day as it's usually my dish to bring for Thanksgiving (I made it once by request, they loved it).  I removed the huge pieces of mushrooms from the soup though, weird, I know.  It's a texture thing and DH is the same way.

I like green bean casserole.  

Never thought that would happen!

    I use to be the same way with green beans. I hated them but it was probably because my parents always made those nasty french cut green beans from a can, which I still don't like. But a couple of years ago I tried some fresh green beans and now I LOVE THEM! We also don't do mushrooms in this house so I make green bean casserole with cream of chicken soup and it is way better that way.

    There are so many things that I disliked when I was younger that I love now...cauliflower, sauerkraut, eggs, probably a million other things.

    Yes, brussel sprouts. Now, I like them.

    Tofu!  I've never been a fan, but now we look forward to it :-)  I tried the technique of slicing it, then pressing between towels to get out all the water, then marinading and broiling.  We have teriyaki tofu in stir fry, or season with taco seasoning and make soft tacos.  It's amazingly good!  DS loves it too, which is awesome.

    I've always hated Brussels sprouts.  Even as an exchange student in France, where I tried all sorts of new foods, and found almost everything yummy, Brussels sprouts still disgusted me.  So I gave up on them for years and years.

    Lo and behold, a month ago I tried some as part of a soul food dish and didn't hate them.  They were actually pretty good!  Southerners have figured out how to make anything tasty.

    It's pretty much been all vegetables for me. A few years ago I started a "Year of the (insert vegetable)" Year... Now I love tomatoes, cucumbers and mushrooms. Each year I pick a veggie and try to eat every chance I get. It's working!
