I've just cooked something I didn't like and loved it
Discussion
For years I was a fussy b
d who didn't eat much.
I grew up knowing I didn't like a lot of things and it was pretty much just chicken that was cooked for me and chicken I'd eat.
Now however I quite enjoy cooking for myself and as I got older I started to try new things, venison, duck etc and quite enjoyed them so have continued to eat them. In the last couple of years I thought it strange that I didn't like steaks or roastbeef, yet liked these things so re-visited beef and found I liked it. (Which has made eating at friends and formal dinners much easier)
Today in the supermarket I walked past lamb as I don't like lamb, but then stopped to think if I could ever remember having it. Answer, no, It's not something my family has ever eaten.
So I purchased a small rack of lamb and cooked it for lunch (Glazed in honey & soy sauce) result absolutely fantastic!
Pork is still on my list of dislikes, although I can't remember ever having it either. I'm put off as I like smoked bacon but not unsmoked as the latter smells the same to me as a living pig!
Just thought I'd share

You need a programme of trying absolutely everything you "don't" like.
Tastes change.
When I married my wife she would not eat olives - now a favourite. She wouldn't eat tomatoes - now grilled cherry tomatoes are a favourite. She still doesn't like fish - but, amazingly enough, will eat prawns and grilled tuna steaks (as they aren't too fishy) and I can put anchovies or fish sauce in as an ingredient.
In return I have found I like peanut butter. Still won't eat Turkey.

It's great that the OP is trying new things and finding that you like them. Clearly your familie's dislikes were passed down from an early age and now you have a few miles on the clock have a more seasoned palate.
My gf was terrible with food when I met her. She's now trying many things she would have previously turned her nose up at. Funnily enough, her parents are awful with food and her brother and sisters who still live at home all have terrible food prejudices.
When I have children there will be no such sillyness and meal times will be sacred.
