My family didn't ate melons, they weren't opposed to them, but they never bought them, probably cuz they never fitted in the fridge, so growing up I just occasionally ate watermelons, and only tried melons a few time, which I didn't like. It wasn't a strong foul taste nor anything but it didn't click with me.
So anyways last week I ate melon and I really liked it, it tasted exactly the same as I remembered it but I now love the taste.

Glad you came around. I love honeydew. Far superior to cantaloupe.
Yes, this, I don't remember eating greenish pulp, so the melons I tasted as a kid were unrippen probably.
But still, in broad terms it's the same flavor, yet I now like it. Yet I now find a lot of flavors or tones, or whatever is called that I didn't remember.
Try squeezing some lime on honeydew. It makes bad honeydew passable and good honeydew excellent
I feel like I needed to wait for my prefrontal cortex to properly develop in my late 20s before I found I liked lots of foods I'd hated or refused to try as a kid.
Peanuts are good. And cashews. And onions. And ragu.
Don't like mushrooms though, no matter what. 🍄

Start adding them to food in small amounts after cutting them into very small pieces. Increase the quantity ever few weeks and in a year you'll either not mind or actually enjoy mushrooms
Try some recipes with dried, reconstituted ones. The texture is much better
Have you tried yeast extract/flakes? it's great to add "meaty" flavor to veggie stews and well, I tried using it in everything lately
I do add fish sauce to basically everything. it smells like piss but damn if it doesn't make everything better
Retry everything! There's so many things I thought I didn't like, half the time it was just the way it was prepared or the kind of day I was having. Also, taste buds literally change as you get older.
Can confirm. I hated tomatoes until my mid 20s because my mom never seasoned them because "salt is bad", made me give every food i disliked another try, grew up extremely picky and now i eat everything.
I legit almost didn’t click on this because of you know
I relate to this. The thought of Watermelon used to make me nauseous, but now, after a couple decades, I just think tasty. (Even if seeds are faff).
I had the opposite experience. We would have melons with dinner quite often when I was a kid and now I don't really care for them
I had a golden honeydew for the first time a couple months ago, they're amazing. I've been eating one every couple of weeks since.
Tip for anyone struggling to tell when to cut them, they're ready when they make a squeaky sound when you slide a thumb across the skin. If it's slides too easy it's not ready.
