People Reveal The Food They Thought Would Be Disgusting But They Actually Loved

Food is essential. On the basic level we need it to live. Food can also be exciting and scary. A cuisine from another culture? Hello. It may have a strange color, vibe or texture so don't ever taste it. But some of us have learned that internal assumption can be a mistake. You don't know until you try. It's like dating... just taste it and keep swiping right. You never know.

Redditor _MikeWillHugYou wondered how the tastes of the public have changed over life by asking_ What food did you just assume you'd hate but, when you finally tried it, it turned out to be delicious?

WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?

Fried squid. Now it's my favorite form of seafood.

OH YES! GIMME SOME CHEESE AND A CRACKER.

[rebelmouse-image 18358542 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Hummus.

GOOD TO BE STICKY AND SWEET.

[rebelmouse-image 18358543 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Dates. I spent many years thinking it was sour but turns out it is sickly sweet (which i like).

PUTIN'S FAVORITE!!

[rebelmouse-image 18358544 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Borscht. My friend and I got a bowl to share the first time we went to a Russian restaurant, and after the first taste I wanted to steal it all for myself.

NOW THIS IS A FAVORITE FOR EVERYONE!!

[rebelmouse-image 18355996 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Asparagus. Turned into one of my favorite foods.

3 YESES FOR KOREAN CUISINE!

[rebelmouse-image 18979685 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Kimchi!

JUST ALWAYS THINK "CANDY!" YOU CAN'T LOSE.

[rebelmouse-image 18979686 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Persimmons. They look like orange tomatoes, and I hate tomatoes. Found out they taste like candy. Still hate tomatoes though.

DALE TACOS DALE!!

[rebelmouse-image 18979687 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Tacos de lengua or tacos de cabeza. My dad bought me some in TJ without telling me what they were until after. I look forward to it now when i go visit him.

THE PERFECT MIX!

[rebelmouse-image 18979688 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Breakfast burritos. I thought the combination of egg and tortillas sounded terrible. Then I had one because a friend cooked and I wanted to be polite, and my life changed forever.

WHERE ARE MY TORTILLA CHIPS?

[rebelmouse-image 18979689 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Guacamole!

TATSE YOUR CULTURE.

[rebelmouse-image 18979690 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

As an Arab, I am embarrassed to admit I didn't eat shawarma for the first 18 years of my life. So many missed opportunities.

NO! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!

[rebelmouse-image 18979691 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Anchovies! They get so much negative press but they're f***ing delicious. Plus I hear they'll be worth a ton of cash in the future.

FOR MARTINIS OR PIZZA?

[rebelmouse-image 18360778 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Olives. I remember long time ago as a kid i tried it and was disgusted. Not so long ago tasted it once again on a pizza and realized it's sweeter than i remember. Now it's my favorite pizza topping.

NECTAR OF THE GODS.

[rebelmouse-image 18356277 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Strawberries. Never went near them as a kid or a teenager. I start working in the fresh produce section of a supermarket and we had a huge sale on them so had a couple of pallets in the storeroom one morning and they smelled incredible. Had to try one and have been hooked on them ever since.

CHEESE FIRST! ALWAYS!

[rebelmouse-image 18979692 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Soft cheese. I'm in my 40s and I only discovered it about five years ago. I always thought it just looked gross and squishy but my favorite dinner now is Camembert and crackers. Yuuuuuum.

A PICNIC FAVORITE!

[rebelmouse-image 18979693 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Pickles. I think I saw it somewhere here on Reddit where someone eat a whole jar of pickles and he almost pooped his gut out, I remember thinking why would people love sour cucumber so much. But then I tried it once in my subway, I absolutely love it. And I was completely sold when I tried my friend's kartoffelsalat, the pickle just bring it to a whole new level.

EAT ALL YOUR GREENS.

[rebelmouse-image 18979694 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Brussels Sprouts.

YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY.

[rebelmouse-image 18979695 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Spam. Always thought it was a joke. Turns out it's great! Slice it thin, fry it up nice & crispy, really awesome. Also, musubi.

OH LA-LA...

[rebelmouse-image 18979696 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Escargot. But it's really just an excuse to eat garlic butter.

Y'ALL BEEN MISSING OUT!

[rebelmouse-image 18979697 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Okra and eggplant.

FORGET TUNA!!

[rebelmouse-image 18979698 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My parents only ever bought canned salmon not that I hated it but it just wasn't my jam. Thought that I just didn't like salmon.

When I was about 25 i was at a party drinking but didn't eat all day, the snacking options were the crumbs of a bag of chips or smoked salmon on a cracker with a bit of cream cheese.. hesitated because salmon seemed so meh to me but got to a point it was eat it or leave and go grab a bite.. Decided to give it a try and was instantly in love.

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.

Nothing is a coincidence in the complex Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now that Marvel Studios and Disney finally gave a female superhero her own movie, we realize Captain Marvel may have introduced a young character who takes on a more significant role in the future of the MCU.

The '90s-set origin story is led by the dual personalities of Carol Danvers — a U.S. Air Force pilot; and Vers, a Kree from the planet Hala in another life — and becomes Captain Marvel, expertly played by Brie Larson.

Without sounding too cryptic, Captain Marvel is the sum of Carol and Vers, and the complex narrative revolves around Vers finding out about her past.

People Are Roasting Trump Over His Mind-Numbing Observation About The Wetness Of Water 😂
@realDonaldTrump/Twitter, @)imawoodelf/Twitter

Donald Trump thanked the first responders who came to the aid of victims of Hurricane Florence. The storm devastated portions of North Carolina, dumping massive amounts of rain and damaging millions of dollars in property. Many natural areas were destroyed, some farmers lost everything and more than a few people have been left homeless. The first responders after this massive storm were literal life savers, and Trump was absolutely right to thank them. Unfortunately, the sentiment of his message was lost for many people because he didn't seem to put any effort or preparation into what he was saying. Then, in the middle of his off-the-cuff message, he confused everyone by talking about the wetness of water.

Macaulay Culkin Is Having Fans Vote On What He Should Legally Change His Name To—And The Options Are Bizarre 😮

Have you ever wanted to help your favorite celebrity reach their potential by giving them a new name? Fans of Macaulay Culkin will be able to do just that, as he's allowing them to vote and pick his new middle name.

The choices are beyond strange.

In a segment on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Culkin announced his desire to change his middle name to something else. He allowed people to submit names for the last month, and narrowed those down to the top five.

Some of the suggestions were interesting, to say the least.





The official choices: Shark Week, The McRib Is Back, Kieran (submitted by his famous younger brother), Macaulay Culkin, and Publicity Stunt. That last one was suggested by Culkin's girlfriend, actress Brenda Song, and gives away the game.

Fans are still excited to vote for his new name.







This is all a publicity stunt to drive traffic to Culkin's website, Bunny Ears, launched earlier this year in March. The site bills itself as a lifestyle and holistic health brand, similar to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. However, the articles are jokes or satirical.

Good luck finding the site if you tried to go there right after the Fallon segment.

With articles like "A Tour Guide Of The Places Where Men Have Dumped Me" in their 'Travel Guides' section, or "Meditative Things White People Can Do While Black People Attempt To Explain White Privilege" under 'Spiritual Wellness,' it's difficult to imagine the site is wanting for traffic.

Time will tell what Culkin's new middle name will be, but as of this writing, it's looking like he'll be known as Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. Which is a shame, because Macaulay Shark Week Culkin had such a nice ring to it.
