Grew up poor, didn't know it. Lots of Mac 'n Cheese w/ hotdogs and canned vegetables. I remember the first time I had a fresh green bean, I was put off by the texture. Wasn't used to vegetables with structure.

Edit: also a fair amount of Hamburger Helper in my childhood. It's OK.

    Haha, I had a similar experience because of canned mix veggies. For a long time I didn't think I liked beans because I always hated the texture of the canned lima beans. I also thought all veggies would taste the same because canned mix veggies all adopt an odd homogeneous taste.

    Wow, I had forgotten how much I used to detest lima beans. Don't think I've had them since I was a kid. I wonder if I'll like them now.

    Lol this just perfectly described my experience perfectly. I grew up eating mostly canned vegetables. When I started cooking as an adult, I didn't think I liked vegetables. Until I followed recipes cooking with fresh veggies. The "structure" is totally different! And delicious.
