(14,891 posts)When I was a kid I was such a picky eater. Drove my poor parents crazy.
I started to get better in my teens, and by my 20's I was really going good. I eat Indian (Northern, southern), Chinese (including dim sum), Mexican, Italian, Middle Eastern, Down home Southern, Eastern European, Japanese (cooked)..
I'm half Greek-American (2nd gen) and I hated lamb, yogurt, raw tomatoes, peppers growing up so no shesik kabob for me till my 20's - and we had it each summer from the time I was a kid!
Interesting that I liked feta cheese as a kid. I'd say it was an acquired taste. When I was a kid feta was a cheese -only found- in a Greek Deli !
One of my Greek style salads is feta cheese, sliced beets, walnuts, good olive oil, garlic. Maaaaybe w one other item.
