Sauerkraut was just too overwhelming as a kid, but I love it now. Some other foods were the same, but that is the one I remember.
I liked black olives as a kid, then hated them in my teen years through early 30s and find them tolerable now.
A lot of people hated vegetables as a kid if they were made bland by boiling, and like them a lot more when they have them roasted or just with some seasoning. I remember having bland steamed brussel sprouts at home which are just awful but one of my friends roasted them and they were awesome. My dad cooked up some awesome seasoned steaks and that friends parent bought the wrong cut and cooked it well done so it opened my eyes to how much of a difference preparation makes.
I am a quarter German and sauerkraut was always gross to me, but dammit if it isn’t amazing now! Especially when it’s cooked the entire time with some meat and soaks up the juices.
Black olives are tolerable, agreed there. I think new for me are green olives and stuffed olives. Never would’ve touched that when I was younger.
I really enjoy green olives in a gin martini, especially the ones stuffed with blue cheese.
Can't stand green olives in any other format that I can think of.
I’ve only ever really drank dressed up martinis (flavored). I might have to give this a try though!
I hated sauerkraut until a waiter at a German restaurant talked me into trying their house made stuff on a bratwurst. It was amazing. Now I like certain brands, but the cheap brands are still gross
