Picky eaters: Have you ever tried to learn to enjoy a food that you dislike, or is there a food that you dislike that you wish you didn't?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) January 23rd, 2012

I was a very finicky kid, and as I got older, I learned to eat lots of foods that I didn’t care for when I was younger. I am still particular, but I less picky than most of the other picky eaters that I know (and I know a lot.)
Fruit, however, I have never liked and I don’t anticipate ever being a fan. I’ve tried several fruits that I don’t care to eat, and my feelings never change.
I have one avid fruit eater in the house, and so I always try to have fruit available for him. I want him to eat it, obviously. However, we often have fruit that goes bad before it can be eaten due to scheduling and since no one else is really eating it. Bananas seem to be the biggest problem. The store that we shop at only sells them in bagged bunches, so we have to buy more than we need. It also costs 34c a bunch, so, it’s not like we’re throwing away boatloads of cash by doing this.
I hate bananas. But, every time I see a bunch of 3 or 4 bananas quickly turning bad, I wish that I didn’t, because I hate to see them go to waste.
I’d like to learn to like bananas. I haven’t figured out how I’m going to do this, but, I would like to learn to actually enjoy eating them.
