My family didn’t ate melons, they weren’t opposed to them, but they never bought them, probably cuz they never fitted in the fridge, so growing up I just occasionally ate watermelons, and only tried melons a few time, which I didn’t like. It wasn’t a strong foul taste nor anything but it didn’t click with me.

So anyways last week I ate melon and I really liked it, it tasted exactly the same as I remembered it but I now love the taste.

I feel like I needed to wait for my prefrontal cortex to properly develop in my late 20s before I found I liked lots of foods I’d hated or refused to try as a kid.
Peanuts are good. And cashews. And onions. And ragu.
Don’t like mushrooms though, no matter what. 🍄

Start adding them to food in small amounts after cutting them into very small pieces. Increase the quantity ever few weeks and in a year you’ll either not mind or actually enjoy mushrooms

Try some recipes with dried, reconstituted ones. The texture is much better

Have you tried yeast extract/flakes? it’s great to add “meaty” flavor to veggie stews and well, I tried using it in everything lately
