http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/pic/c_cucum1.jpgUsed to absolutely despise the stuff, had to pick them out of every McDonalds burger I ever had as a kid. Today I requested them in my Subway and have even been known to eat pickled gherkin from the jar (for pleasure rather than as a sick dare). Has anyone else experienced such a gherkin-related taste turn-around?

It depends on how lazy im feeling, if im feeling lazy then the Gherkin stays in, if im refreshed and energetic the Gherkin is removed. Subway rules....  |

Blue cheese has been my biggest taste turn-around.
Used to gag at the thought of it but can't get enough nowadays.
Danish blue crispy bacon baguette melt is the dogs.

I like the whole range of gherkins through to dill cucumbers.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, for a few years afterwards people who previously worked in State run industries, were paid in gherkins and they could be used to barter for other services.
As a kid I didn't much care for broad beans.....now love em. I'm sure you all wanted to know that.

I used to hate beetroot,but now I absolutely detest it. Home grown and cooked beetroot is a marvellous thing......bit messy mind you need a big pot to boil them up in and it dyes everything purple. Then you peel and slice them up and pop into Kilner jars with your vinegar and spices etc.....mmm nice. |
