Taste is a fickle thing

I'm the biggest sucker for list and countdown shows. I must be the prototype for VH1's target market. Man, I can't feel more uncool. When did I stop being in MTV's target market and start being part of VH1's?

The last couple of days I've been kicking around in my head some things that I used to not like, even hate, but now I can't get enough of. So, here it goes:
  • Jalapeño peppers – maybe it's just taken me awhile to get over my mom squirting me in the eye with jalapeño juice. (it was an accident, so no need to call Social Services)
  • NPR – I'm not exactly sure when I started caring what was going on in the World, but I do now
  • Running long distances
  • Mushrooms – Shitake, Portobella, Morel — I like them all
  • Eggplant – If you don't think you like it, you haven't had it fried
  • Reading novels – also sitting still long enough to read on the beach
  • Strong coffee – no, very strong coffee
  • Adam Vinatieri
  • Cole Slaw
  • David Bowie – he scared me to death in Labrynth as a kid, but now I love him for his music
  • Sauerkraut
  • Taking a nap – I used to resent being made to take a nap, and my parents for always having to nap on Sunday afternoons.
  • Sushi – admittedly, my first exposure to sushi was at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, so there was no chance for me to like it
  • Tofu 
  • Small dogs – our Shih Tzu, Mu Shu has won me over
What people, place or things did you detest that you now love?
