Maybe you learned that buying tomatoes in season can actually change how you feel about tomatoes.

(So does cutting them in thick wedges, FYI.)
Or perhaps after years of trying, you finally discovered the secret to enjoying black coffee.

Or...any coffee.
And hopefully someone can explain to me how one gulps down an entire technicolor can of the carbonated trash water also known as LaCroix.

The closest I've been able to get to liking it is by adding a splash of cranberry juice to Pamplemousse LaCroix. PLZ HELP.
So tell us: how did you learn to enjoy difficult-to-like foods? Let us know in the comments and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed post!
