What food did you not try until you were an adult? Did you have a "where have you been all my life" moment? (beehaw.org)

Despite the fact that 90% of what I ate was home cooked, mostly from scratch, meals, I managed to miss out on some basics like courgette (zucchini) and aubergine (eggplant) and BUTTER if you can believe it.

My mother was big on margarine. So when I moved out I continued the tradition until one day I made a fateful mistake. It was like in Ratatouille. I was sat in my studio just eating buttered bread having an out of body experience.

Fresh veggies. Grew up on canned stuff, mainly green beans and peas and carrots. Still not a huge vegetables fan but canned ANYTHING doesn't even register for me unless it's a recipe ingredient.

Butter was also an eye opener after growing up with margarine and I even got my parents to switch to it ☺
