Ammanas Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Are there some things that you have ranted and raved that you hate and would never try? Have you eventually tried them and ended up falling in love with it? Discuss. For me it was e-readers. I eventually tried using one and ended up loving it. I fought against it for so long too. There are so many things I love about it, but my favorite part it controlling the text size. Some publishers, when producing the books (especially with mass market paperbacks), have the text so small one needs a magnifying glass and it still ends up giving you a headache. That is no longer something I need to worry about. Not to turn into a walking advertisement, but its the Kindle paperwhite in case anyone is curious.

Ashspren Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Ooooh... for me, that would be sushi. I absolutely hated the idea of it, and when everyone talked about how much they loved it, I just decided that it seemed gross. Now, I'm absolutely obsessed with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Iriarte Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thousand-page-long high fantasy books seemed to me the most boring thing ever and i could not imagine how one would subject oneself to the such a painfully tedious experience. Yet here i am, in the 17th shard, having read every single cosmere book in 6 months. (Although i have never read a fantasy novel not written by Brandon Sanderson) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also my experience with eating raw fish in general. There was a time when I wouldn't touch it. After a year in Hawaii I'll happily chow down on poke bowls purchased from convenience stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Eggs. Beans. Chicken, pepperoni, toppings on pizza in general. Can you tell I'm a recovering picky eater? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Milk. Yes, it's stupid. So was I. At some point when I was a little lad, I decided I didn't like milk and didn't want to drink it, and only did very occasionally when it had chocolate syrup mixed in. Then at some point in 3rd grade, I decided to try normal milk again, and realized it wasn't so bad as I had convinced myself it was. Now I thrive on it these days. I probably drink more milk than anyone else in my family. I love milk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doomstick Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 The way of kings, a friend recommended it to me at a cooking camp, and I was like, Nah! But I tried it and half of what I say is a reference to Sanderson now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other cookbooks for Horneater cuisine but this is the only one that gives the cultural context that really lends the recipes some authenticity." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Harry Potter. The Hunger Games series. The show Terra Nova, gone from us too soon. My Chemical Romance. Foods that mix sweet and savory (eg, chicken with fruit sauce). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.P., our one good depiction of Cretaceous Period South America. And I'll take Stephen Lang wherever I can get him. He was the best part of both Terra Nova and Avatar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
