I’m not sure if I’ve acquired them all or if I just poisoned my taste-buds with my constant smoking. Cigarettes incidentally are something I loved from the start.
Green vegetables. I used to hate them but now I love them, especially steamed and salted. I love grilled summer squash and baked butternut squash, and I wouldn’t have touched them ten years ago.
I also used to hate: Chinese food, Japanese food, Mexican food and Indian food, and now that I’ve lived in Chicago, Arizona and have many different friends from many different countries, I can safely say that I can’t live without and of them!
I still haven’t cultivated a taste for beer, although Pete’s Wicked Strawberry is starting to help me with that.
I live in Dayton, too. I still haven’t found a great Indian place here. The ones I have tried were way too expensive for way too little food. Guess I’ll just keep trying!
I can handle Sushi.
I can handle Sam Adams (its true: closer to Boston better it tastes. It was Amazing this summer in New Hampshire; Its better than average in NJ.)
…But I can’t wash Sushi down with Sam Adams…not even if both are ice cold. God bless (or help) the people who can.
I’ll second Isabelle. Scotch was an aquired taste for me. Now it is nearly the only thing I drink with regard to hard liquors. Sushi, however, I liked the very first time I tried it. The same with raw oysters. Mmmmmm. Good.
Cunnilingus. My first partner, um, wasn’t very clean. That took some effort to get over, and to this day a whiff under the right circumstances will bring up those memories. Otherwise, though, now I can’t get enough. 
I don’t actually consume the two together. I can understand, based on the way I wrote that post, how you could’ve interpreted it that way, though.
My favorites are Amar India and Ajanta India. Those both may fall under your “too expensive” catergory, though.

For me, it would be tomatoes and Marmite, not necessarily at the same time. And I would say beer, except that I have never acquired a taste for bad beer, and the first few hundred I tried definitely fell into that category.
Most of the other foods people have mentioned, I liked the first time I tried them.
I really hated mushrooms when I was a child until my mum made a pasta dish with wild mushrooms and mascarpone cheese, now I am hooked! Also oysters, avocados and smoking. To be honest I have always been pretty adventorous when it comes to flavours, I think it was the texture of the above that I didn’t like but I soon got used to them and enjoy all of them. I think smoking goes without saying, did anyone take a first ever drag of a cigarette into their virgin lungs and think ‘wow, this is delicious and not at all painful’?
By the way tomatoes and marmite do actually go well together, try either:
tinned tomatoes cooked over a low heat to reduce the sauce (add a little salt, pepper and a small knob of butter) with a poached egg on toast with marmite spread thinly on it (or to your liking)
or my personal favorite:
whisk one or two eggs together and fry to create a kind of omelette, toast two bits of bread and spread one slice with butter and marmite, put tomatoe ketchup on the other and eat as a hot toasted sandwhich. enjoy!
You might know this drink better as the “Flaming Moe,” since Moe took all the credit for it after he stole the idea from Homer.
“It’s like there’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited!”
Watermelon? You had to learn to like watermelon? Olives are a good one, though. I used to just tolerate them, now I love them.
I still can’t stand cilantro, though.
I remain the only person I know who really doesn’t care for watermelon. Strangely I love watermelon flavored candy.
Onions and green peppers are about the only things I can think of that I used to despise but now love.
Used to hate all mexican food, now I like mexican sea food (crab burritos especially)
Still can’t tolerate sushi, beer or coffee.
Licorice.
Peppery stuff.
Raw onion.
Kalamata olives.
I have un-acquired my tastes for spinach, peanut butter and fast food, and I will never like cilantro (tastes like soap), most artificial fruit flavors (grape, watermelon and green apple are the WORST), or thyme (tastes like dust.)
Human flesh.
Once you eat an arm or two you’ll have a good grasp of the taste. 
Marmite.
Still trying for scotch and cilantro. (Again, not at the same time. Although that couldn’t possibly make either any worse.)
Some of the things many of you have on your lists (Marmite/Vegemite, scotch, eggplant…) I’ve always liked and didn’t have to acquire a taste for.
Cilantro, though…still working on that one. Soapweed! Pfah!
The first few times I tried Indian food, I really disliked it. Now I’m a huge fan. Last night I made some killer eggplant bharta for dinner. Mmmm…
