2. What is a food or dish you wouldn’t touch as a child, but enjoy now? i was turned off spaghetti & tomato sauce at one point (perhaps it was mushy, cannot abide over-done pasta), & still have to remember that i actually like it today. there are some foods i wouldn't touch: not-so-fresh mushrooms (because of these, fresh mushrooms), fresh tomatoes (bits of stewed tomato), raw onions & garlic, banana peppers (anything with even a hint of spicy pepper).
