I didn't like many vegetables growing up, now I love them. Brussell sprouts, asparagus, green beans...just yum!

I'll add cucumbers to the list. Never ate them as a kid but love them now.

Not really, but there are are few foods I liked that I quit eating decades ago.

As a child I absolutely despised mushrooms, cilantro and celery. I adored tart things.
Now, I can't get enough of mushrooms and cilantro. I will eat celery, but if it became unavailable tomorrow I wouldn't shed a tear.
Conversely, I have lost the taste for anything sour!

I've heard that there is a certain genetic set-up that affects the brain's perception of cilantro. Food is totally unpalatable to me if there is cilantro sprinkled on it or within it.
I was in a fancy restaurant years ago, and when I began eating, I noticed the food tasted like soap. I mentioned this to the waiter and said that I didn't think the dishes were rinsed very well. I was not happy since the dish was very expensive. The owner soon came to my table and explained it was cilantro. No more cilantro for me!

Brussels sprouts were ok. I roasted them and now I could have them every day.
Growing up on a large farm, I loved vegetables and salads. I don't think I'll ever, ever like dried beans and things made from them. I can do a few kidney beans in chili. Sometimes, I'll dig those out.

@Travone Oh, my -- liver and onions -- such a powerful taste and one I've never liked. Hubs loves it. He also loves watermelon. My son and I just can't. But I watch my grandson and my hubs and they go after it.

@hckynut Would you mind sharing those things you no longer eat? Just curious

Didn't drink coffee until late 40s. Couldn't stand the taste. Now I drink it with cream and sugar. Daughter hated cottage cheese as a child. This week I watched her eat cottage cheese, pepper and sliced tomatoes. I used to be able to bite into a tomato -- cannot do it now. It can be sliced on a sandwich or stewed -- but can't pick up a tomato and bite into it.
