My wife likes raw oysters now(it took me forever to get her to try’em. Well what about ya’ll by the way what is the right place for the apostrophe y’all or ya’ll? I used to do it y’all then somebody told me that was wrong and so then I started doing it ya’ll. So which is it? ---

Hi Bill! For me it was hamburgers. I would NOT eat hamburgers when I was a kid, or cheeseburgers. I hated them. Now, I love them. I was a strange kid. Come to think of it, I’m kind of a strange adult. ---

Lima beans. I used to pick them out of the frozen “mixed vegetables” moms always fix. Now, lima beans are one of the few veggies I go out of my way to buy on a regular basis. ---

Breasts. (OK, I liked them when I was REALLY young, but then for a while I just didn’t see the appeal.) 😉 ---

I didn’t like to take baths. Luckly I grew out of that one and now regularly use all the hot water in the house. 🙂 I also didn’t like wine. I remember getting to drink a little bit of wine on special occasions and wondering why grownups liked it so much. The same with coffee. ---

Salads, I thought lettuce was yucky. For the flip side, Mr WildestBill, I LOVED bologna when I was a kid and even the SIGHT of it now, makes me sick. Human beans are so weird!! 😉 ---

Spicy food. Although thai-style curry is still too much for my poor mouth! Mushrooms are the spawn of hell. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-like-now-that-you-hated-when-you-were-a-kid/44549.md?page=2)
