Can you make yourself like a certain food that you normally do not like?

Question

Just curious to see what others think. Has anyone ever tried this? I know tastebuds change every so often so that could always be a factor.

Answer

Tried to make myself eat raw tomatoes. I puked... Don't try to force yourself to eat something you don't like when pregnant... 😕

Answer

I was actually able to make myself like something I hated. I love it now. But I will always hate mushrooms

Answer

I had a bad experience with eggs as a child, around the age 4-5. I never ate eggs again, until I was 21, scrambled. I love them. I think a lot of times people say they don't like certain foods for many reasons, some of the biggest ones are bad experiences as children, or never having tried them. I "dislike" plenty of foods that I've never even tried; if I don't think I'll like it, I won't try it.

Answer

I never liked cucumbers but went on a diet that was mostly just vegetables and meat... I learned to love cucumbers and now they are one of my favorite foods!!

Corn on the other hand, will always be Satan's spawn if the vegetable isle..

Answer

I hated Green tea but loved the benifits from it. I drank it enough so I jusy got use to it. Now I crave it.

Answer

I don't know about being able to force yourself to like something you used to dislike, but tastebuds do change as you get older. I like a lot of things I used to hate, pea soup, for example, but I used to and always will hate yellow squash (still makes my tear ducts run when I eat it) even after years of my mom smothering it in cheese and ALWAYS asking "that wasn't so bad, was it", as I politely choked it down. Since I like/love most other veggies, I'm not too worried about it.

Answer

I try to get my husband to do this because he doesn't eat any vegetables. At all. Once in a while, I will try things I don't like, to see if I'll feel differently about them.  I didn't eat lettuce until I was 21, because it made me puke as a kid. Now salads are the best, and I get extra lettuce on a lot of things. Recently, I've developed a taste for cooked onions. I still hate raw onions, and mayonaise, but, now and then, I'll try them.

Answer

I'm a picky eater. So I don't know about liking, but if you are truly hungry you'll eat anything. I mean truly hungry, most of us are blessed with the 3 meals a day. I dislike seafood, but if I was stranded on an island and my  choices were fish or starvation, I'd make myself eat it haha.

Answer

I ended up hating certain things I used to love.
As a kid I loved some King Vitamin. When I got older and ate it it got nasty!!!
I suppose if it were still around I may just like it again! Who knows. My taste buds sure changed from a kid to a young adult though!

Answer

I have "made" myself like various foods. I hate hating food. I just eat little bits until it's ok. The only thing this hasn't worked with is cottage cheese...but that's more of a texture issue I think. 😖
