Default Why the mystique? learning to like something you hated

I never liked peas. It's probably because my mother always bought canned
peas and they were nasty mushy things. The first time I tasted fresh green
peas I was out to dinner with a friend and I tasted them to be polite. But
I noticed they had a nice bright green colour, which I wasn't accostumed to.
Took a bite. Ooooh! These are good! Now I buy peas fresh when they are in
season and frozen when they aren't.

One thing I've still never gotten to like is carrots. I use them in stew
and with pot roasts to add flavour but they taste too sweet to me to just
eat. My lovebird likes them, though, so I buy them for her
