Sounds odd, and i guess it is. Whenever people ahve asked me in the past i've always said i'm not keen on pizza, becuase i always thought i wasn't. However, recently we went out with some friends of ours on a Saturday and they insisted on taking us to Pizza Hut. Well both me and mr have never keen keen on pizzas so we were dubious to say the least. I ended up having a seafood one and the mr had a barbecue one, and guess what? We really enjoyed them! So much so that we've been back again since. Isn't it weird that a food we both always though we weren't keen on we just suddenly found out we liked? Has this ever happened to you?

Yes it has. I think our taste changes in time. We get used to new things, and then later on when we taste something we didn't like before we really like it. feta cheese I really hated earlier. Now I am quite fond of it. But not all feta cheese. Just like I do not care much for most pizzas, but I love the Italian one from the local pizza place. It is a good thing to challenge oneself a bit. Try things even though we have not had good experiences earlier. People and tastes change.

I never used to like peppers when i was younger but i love them now! I have (bell) peppers in lots of dishes, and even love sweet chili peppers. Still not keen on the hot ones but i think it will take a long time for me to start really loving hot & spicy stuff.

I think it is really good that you try things. I have become much less adventurous lately I'll have to figure out something new to try tomorrow Can't think about it too much now. going for a blood test tomorrow, and I am not supposed to eat or drink anything This is really making me want something to drink at least.

Are you not allowed to have a little sip of water?

There were so many things I did not like as a kid , and find myself eating now . My parents use to get mushroom cheese steak hogies , with peppers and I would need to have mine plane . I now love mushrooms and peppers and make an array of dishes with them. I have always been a fan of pizza . however , I was very picky when it came to my toppings . I now will sometimes get mushrooms and black olives . There are so many different types of pizza's out there now a day , and so many shops to try . You just had to find something you liked . I like bufflo chicken pizza every onnce in a while and like to dip that in ranch dresing . They have a shrimp sea food one up the street for me and a streak on that is yummy . I should end this post now because I could be here for hours chatting it up .

I've not come across a steak pizza but it sounds yummy as i love steak. I will have to start trying other flavours as all i've had so far is seafood (had tuna, prawns, crayfish, red onion & green peppers on it) and a chicken one which i had with mushrooms, green peppers, red onion and tomato.

I never liked pizza until about 5 years ago. These past two years has really gotten me into loving specialty pizzas. I love a roast beef pizza with a ranch dressing sauce. I even make it at home now. I had an alfredo sauce pizza with bacon, red onion, and black olives that was awesome last week.

Thanks for the ideas on different pizza.....my hubby would love those. I myself ate so much pizza as a kid that I have to be in the mood for it now. Let me know if you have any others to share.

I like pizza myself but I have gotten it from places that was not as good as others and also the frozen type they have some are better than others. I know when I was younger my aunt and uncle always had a garden with fresh vegetables and in the summer when I would visit I would get so tired of eating them but now I crave them. There are a lot of things that I didn't like before that I do like now and also somethings I used to like that I can do without now.

I think maybe trying frozen pizza made me think i did't like it, but now i've had fresh pizza that's what changed my mind.

Hello, hezoid! I'm glad you like the pizza! I also like it, but not all kinds of pizza. It happens to everybody, I guess. You see something, but you don't like the smell or the look of it. Then you taste and discovers that it is good! It feels great. I think everybody has gone through this at least once in their lifetime. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I don't thik pizza is as bad for you as people make out. After all if you have lots of veg toppings on it it can't be that bad surely?

Sure! Before I got pregnant, I never liked pizza. But afterward, I craved pizza sauce constantly. Now that I'm not pregnant, I might have a pizza once a month.

I don't think that I have ever known anyone that has not liked pizza. It's not bad and they make it with all types of toppings. If you have a Cici's around where you live try them. They have really good desert pizza's. Happy eating!

My family really likes pizza. When I was growing up my mom started a tradition. Pizza Friday! And I carried it over into my family. We even make our own. I have always tried foods before I say I don't like them. Glad you enjoy pizza.

I'm glad that you were able to see how good pizza really is, lol. I don't think it's odd at all. Sometimes it tastes a certain version of something to really appreciate it for what it is. I'm like that with red meat. I don't really like hamburgers and when I had a really good one I was hooked. I still don't eat red meat often, but I'm more willing to eat it if it's around.

I did not like the taste when i ate Sushi at the first time. So i've always said i will not enjoy it next time. After one year, however, i ate sushi by chance. I thought it's really delicious from then.
