I had a weird experience involving melons (hexbear.net)

My family didn't ate melons, they weren't opposed to them, but they never bought them, probably cuz they never fitted in the fridge, so growing up I just occasionally ate watermelons, and only tried melons a few time, which I didn't like. It wasn't a strong foul taste nor anything but it didn't click with me.

So anyways last week I ate melon and I really liked it, it tasted exactly the same as I remembered it but I now love the taste.

Yes, the NSFW tag is purely for clickbait purposes

I feel like I needed to wait for my prefrontal cortex to properly develop in my late 20s before I found I liked lots of foods I'd hated or refused to try as a kid.
Peanuts are good. And cashews. And onions. And ragu.
Don't like mushrooms though, no matter what. 🍄 sadness

Start adding them to food in small amounts after cutting them into very small pieces. Increase the quantity ever few weeks and in a year you'll either not mind or actually enjoy mushrooms

mushrooms

But bitter and umami is so good

Try some recipes with dried, reconstituted ones. The texture is much better

Have you tried yeast extract/flakes? it's great to add "meaty" flavor to veggie stews and well, I tried using it in everything lately

I do add fish sauce to basically everything. it smells like piss but damn if it doesn't make everything better
