Ok I sudenly woke up and decided "screw this need a major life change as my health is a mess" and started eating Salad.

Now this is coming from a guy who's only acceptance that veg exists was potato's and peas,for the last 20+ years I would cringe if my burger had letus..

Odd part is i'm bloody loving these salads, had a prawn salad, a tuna salad and a spicy chicken one so far, even switched my for water!! (strangely the last few steaks I had before switching to salad, tasted odd to me and kinda wrong)

So anyone else find that after decades of being scared of a food type, they sudenly love it?

Wife is well confused..

I am not afraid of trying new things ... including food lol.. but some tastes and textures did not appeal to me when I was younger. I hated ... HATED asparagus when younger, it made me almost sick... and now I am loving it. Strange or what?

I had same with Mushrooms, but now they are easily my favorite food

Though I think I may blame my mums cooking, the woman could cook an amazing roast but could even ruin canned food that just needed warming up :P

i didn't think a potato was classed in a dietary sense as a vegetable but a starch...

anyhows i love salads but couldnt eat them everyday. Mine tend to be simple, lettuce, cucumber, a boiled egg, prawns, beetroot and a few baby potato's

I'm envious, lol, that you are about to discover loads and loads of new tastes.

I've always eaten a vast variety of different foods, and can't imagine living with restricted menus.

Enjoy it, it's one of lifes many pleasures

I am looking more to explore food as a healthy option, lost loads of weight over the past couple of years due to working 2 jobs, poor diet, lack of culinary skills and missing meals on a regular basis, far too much chocolate and cakes instead, just so lacking in energy now
