I think if you eat a certain flavor a number of times, you'll eventually end up liking it, even if you originally thought you hated it.

I used to dislike ginger. (Is it just me, or does ginger root look strikingly similar to gnarled chicken feet?) Got upset whenever Indian restaurants made their daal with too much ginger. Never ate the gingerbread cookies during holiday time. Wrinkled my nose at a bistro that served a ginger creme brulee for dessert.

But if you give something enough of a chance, you eventually come around.

Especially if mango and raspberry sorbet are served alongside fresh-baked ginger cookies.

(P.S. Citizen Cake also makes fabulous ginger cookies. I never leave the restaurant without buying some.)
