If someone had told me that in my mid-40s, I'd love bell peppers, and
that I'd especially enjoy them stir fried with cubed sirloin and
garlic, I would have considered it extremely unlikely.
If you'd said I'd also like bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, carrots and
mushrooms added, I would have thought it even less likely.

When I was a kid there were many things I didn't like that I eat
today. Chicken, pork, and fish were awful to me because my mom wasn't
much of a cook and everything had to be VERY well done. If there
wasn't lots of gravy and a quart of milk for each kid the food was
almost impossible to choke down. My dad liked his beef rare so at
least that was good. We liked ham so we ate that a lot. I wasn't a
picky eater and liked everything you mentioned but it was never
prepared well.

Today I like all meats, love bleu cheese, think sardines, oysters and
anchovies are to die for, etc. In my case is was the cook. Spices?
what are those? <g>

With me it was eggplant. I hated it when my mother cooked it. Now I know
why. My mother can't cook worth a damned and I never tasted decent
eggplant as a kid. I didn't like shredded wheat cereal back then either.

Lots of things I hated as a kid I like now.
Borscht
Schav
Gallarita
Olives
Stinky cheese
Schmaltz herring
and the list goes on...

For me it's more common foods:

Mashed potatoes
Cottage cheese
Asparagus
Mushrooms
Pork Spare ribs

I still don't like yellow mustard or dill weed though...

Gee, I've always loved peppers. Still don't like bamboo shoots.

As a kid I disliked eggplant, blue cheeses, anchovies, cucumbers, squash,
lamb...
Now I love them alla, and the reason is a change in tastes, which I see is
very common between people. For one: I know very very few persons who used
to like blue cheeses when they were kids.

I didn't send you my picture like you sent me your picture, my
little <cough>, homosexual Stalker. I *posted* mine long before
you stumbled across it.

And I never said I was 40 (or over 40), which I'm not. But
please do stop in again and make a fool of yourself anytime you'd
like. We could always use other nitwit to play with.

Children, children, please calm down. Just wait until your kids are in
their forties and then you can be thankful for living that long. <VBG>

Recently I have been enjoying ceasar salads. I didn't like that even in
my 30's. Still don't like the straight anchovies though. And some of
those stinky cheeses are pretty yummy now.

Growing up in Maryland, when my mother made backfin crab cakes for the
family,
she made TUNA cakes for me because I did not like them!!

Now I might kill for my mother's backfin crab cakes. Big lumps of white crab
meat,
barely held together by a few bread crumbs, egg and seasoning, fried lightly
in
butter. Amazing!

Schmaltz herring

???? herring in chicken fat?

A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house.

When one of the school principals told me that I was "a smart kid,"
and that I was throwing away my future by being such a misfit, I told
him that all I wanted to do was play in a sleazy Rock'n Roll band,
have sex with lots of loose women and get high a lot, and that I
didn't necessarily expect to live too much past my 20s.

I didn't really think that--or at least that was a major exaggeration--
but I wanted him off my case.

Schmaltz herring are mature, higher-fat herring that are filleted and
preserved in brine

It must've been a common cooking method in the 1940's.

My Mom "cooked the [censored]" out of
cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli, etc.
It got to the table gray, mushy, and smelly.

I didn't taste veggies "al dente" until after I was married....
( and my new bride got a modern cook-book as a wedding gift )
