Have you ever had a time a food so good it "converted" you? (lemmy.world)

As a further elaboration: growing up, I absolutely hated pasta salad. I could not and would not eat it. But one day, when I was about 22-23, I was working somewhere that includes meals, since shifts were literally all day for a week (save eight hours for sleeping). The cook made a pasta salad that I could only describe as "orgasmic." I ate that same pasta salad for every meal for the next two days until they finally tossed the leftovers. Ever since then, I have been "converted" to enjoy pasta salad. That one dish completely changed how my body reacts to a food that I already tried several times.

Hated bananas as a child, the smell alone would make me gag.

Puberty hit hard though, and periods do weird things to a person. I woke up in the middle of the night one night NEEDING to eat a banana. I ate all the ones we had at home (about 4-5). When my mom woke up I asked to go grocery shopping to buy more.

I've had a completely regular relationship with bananas ever since.
