Mussels, Squid and Sprouts spring to mind. Put off by these as a youngster, but now regularly consumed.

Asparagus, I absolutely adore it and it does make my wee smell funny which is a great side benefit.

The average person's taste buds do not mature until late 20's. This is the reason many start to drink ale or Guinness as they get older. the same can be said for foods such as olives.
The reason Guinness introduced extra cold is that bitter taste buds basically become frozen at 2 degrees, therefore serving it at that temp and with a huge advertising campaign aimed at the younger drinkers their sales went up.

Our taste buds don't mature, they die. Kids can't handle strong flavours as they they can really taste them whereas our old palates can eat bitter things that would repulse a youngster. Ever see a baby try new food?

Another vote for Asoaragus and Olives. Had Asparagus at my brothers wedding and now love the stuff
That’s interesting because my user name is due to the amount of Extra Cold I used to consume in the Welly in the Withdean days, when I was in my 20s.
Nowadays I can’t stand Extra Cold but love regular Guinness, porter and milk / chocolate stout.
Olives are my answer to the question btw.

During lockdown I was shielding on my own and spent quite a while working through various cookbooks, cooking websites to break up the day. Tried lots of things I'd never cooked before.
Devilled Kidneys. Oh my days. Went from nowhere to a solid top 10 favourite thing to eat.

I was in a restaurant last night and asked for asparagus. The waiter said they didn’t serve sparrows and his name wasn’t Gus.
Bone marrow.
