What foods did you hate until someone prepared them differently?

My mother made the worst rice in the world. She boiled the heck out of it and then washed the cooked rice with hot tap water to get the starch off it. It was gross, gooey, and devoid of nutrition by the time she got through with it. When I started cooking, I discovered a better way to cook rice. I toast the rice in a little vegetable oil before I add water. Toasting it gives it a nutty taste and the grains do not stick together.

My wife makes rice that way, too. It’s great.
