It's a texture thing I think. If I take a bite with mushroom in it, my like animal hind brain just straight up rejects it. Gagging spitting, the whole tottler experience. No conscious thoughts, no tasting, just reflex

I grew up hating mushrooms. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned that my mom was a bad cook. Now I eat them, and many items I hated as a child, all the time.

The last thing I just can't get behind is olives. And I keep trying in the hopes of something clicks, but it hasn't

Can't do it. I can't do the texture. I also can't eat any type of squash or zucchini type stuff because of the texture. Immediately makes me gag. Eggplant parmesan is one of my mom's favorite foods to make and to eat and I've probably secretly thrown out about 100 of them.

Mushrooms are sooooo good tho

Fry them up in some oil and eat with scrambled eggs 😋

I hated mushrroms my whole childhood. Ate magic mushrooms when I was about 19, and they changed my opinion of mushrroms in general. Like I suddenly appreciated their earthy, woody, umami beauty.

Along with a lot of people preparing them improperly, people just can't get over the whole fungus thing. I slowly acclimated my wife, and after years of encouragement to try them, mushrooms are now one of her favorite foods, which kind of sucks because now I have to share my mushrooms. All it took was her trying them one single time.
