And I'm Becca. Neil, are there any foods that you used to really hate in the past, but now don't mind?

Neil· Host0:50

Yes, actually. There's a Japanese food called Umeboshi which, when I first tried it, I really didn't like. But after a while, I got used to it, and actually, now I really love it. How about you?

Becca· Host1:02

A similar story to me with olives. I used to really hate olives, but as I've grown older, I've also grown to love them.
