Can you learn to like a food?

Question

i don't like fish or eggs, can i learn to like them? i used to not like mozzarella sticks but i ate them anyways and now i like them.

has this happened to anyone else?

Answer 1

With eggs it happened to me, but I never liked them as a kid, but as an adult I love them.  Now fish....never liked it as a kid, and no matter how I tried....NO DICE, can't eat fish....I would like to be able to but it gets me sick.   So I'm not so sure, but you can always try.

Answer 2

just start off with a yummy fish like chillean sea bass! its so good. then salmon, and then other fish. then with eggs first start off having them scrambled its the easiest to eat because you can put salt and pepper in them and eat them with ketchup!  

Answer 3

yes if you eat it enough

Answer 4

It's called an acquired taste. Like coffee, or head cheese.

Answer 5

Yes, I used to love white bread as a kid and hated wheat. Then, my mom became a health freak and made me eat wheat bread, it's all she would buy. As I got older, I got used to it. Now, when I can't eat white bread because it grosses me out. It just tastes gross. I love wheat, it's way better than white.

Answer 6

yes, i used to hate yogurt and bananas and now i eat them on a daily basis..weird. i used to hate eggs as well...i only eat them scrambled though...add some vegeta to them and theyll taste good. i hate fish..but i eat tuna fish. the taste of fish makes me gag, ever since i was little. last week i tried some fish, i think it was tilapia(sp?) it had a very mild flavor, it was covered in flour or bread crumbs and it was seasoned and tasted good..pretty much because the fish didnt have much taste. you could learn to like those foods by adding different seasonings to them and eating them with things on the side. try scrambled eggs on toast or a fish sandwich.

Answer 7

It’s always time to try something again. The absolute worst case scenario is that your mouth will revolt again and you’ll spit it out. I have heard a theory that parents should have their child try a particular food eight times on different occasions (and not eight days in a row) before accepting “I don’t like that.”

The same rule should hold for adults. You never know if you just didn’t like the way it was prepared, the way it was presented, something else in the meal that left a bad taste in your mouth, or perhaps your tastes were just off that day. So try it again a week later. If you steamed the broccoli you (or your kids) hated last time, try it stir-fried or raw.

Answer 8

well if you have it a couple times in diff. styles like u have sunny side up eggs and like that but not scrambled it will make u enjoy eggs in general better i guess..........

right now i don't like fried eggs but i like scrambled an i like omlets....

i am strange sorry about that

Answer 9

yes, i used to hate pizza. everyone else loved it so i was pretty much forced to eat it. now i love it.

Answer 10

I took 2 bites on my first pizza piece and gave up. Now I'm having it every weekend!!

Answer 11

Yeah, I guess so.

I used to hate all fruits, but I sort of forced myself to eat something, and eventually I didn't loath it.

I mean, it's not my favorite.

But it's not bad.

:D
