Is there any food or snack you liked as a hatchling but no longer like now? or other way around?

Ooh, this one got me thinking.

I have a lot of food squicks; stuff that I just won't try because they trigger some primal fight or flight response. As a result, most stuff I wouldn't try as a kid I still won't try as an adult. I don't do syrups/honey/anything particularly sticky, many kinds of fruits/berries, any fruit that's cooked, gummy candies...a lot of sweet stuff, really. I'm much better with savoury foods.

I think the only thing that I *did * try as a kid and therefore legitimately hated was coffee, which I did of course learn to love when I hit my late teens and nowadays I'm brewing freshly ground coffee every morning.

So yeah, I've mostly kept my tastes intact through the years, with "I don't like x" just being shorthand for "the idea of this thing makes me gag and I will not partake".
