I feared beets and thought I disliked them, but I planted some and had them at Chun Woo's request and realized it was just those odious tinned or pickled ones that were brandished at me at terrifying church potlucks when I was a child.

I also thought I disliked spinach as a child-- all I encountered was served at school lunches, from tins. I first liked it when I encountered it raw in salads. (Revealingly, to my mind, my mother viewed spinach salad as a Great Test of a restaurant, because it was so prone to sand. Washing always dominated taste, for my mother.)

I love parsnips, but pretty much as an alongside to flesh.
