What are some foods you hated as a kid but you enjoy now as an adult?

Pickles. I hated fast food hamburger pickles as a kid and I’d always demand mine come without them and get upset when they made a mistake because the flavor of the whole burger really is ruined by the residue, even. 
 

Then I had my first real pickle around three years ago. I was tired and stressed and too drained to tell my barista at this cafe that I didn’t want pickles but there they were on the plate next to my sandwich and I always feel bad about wasting food, so I ate them and I was surprised... this is what a pickle SHOULD be, I thought. Crunchy, zesty and satisfying. Not a sad, bitter soggy mess. I smell them first now because my early experience leaves me picky about my pickles.

I don't know about hated, but as a kid there were a lot of foods I flat out refused to try, but as an adult I finally tried and ended up liking them a lot, bell peppers, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, enchiladas, onions, shrimp

Oh I just thought of one that I hated as a kid, and like a lot now: Teriyaki.
