Asparagus and tomato were my main veggie dislikes growing up. I liked tomato cooked in things like spaghetti. Now I like it raw, too, *if* it's a good one. Heirloom tomatoes are yummy, as are the ones they sell in clusters.
I never liked asparagus, until I discovered that my mom was overcooking it -- done in the microwave, or (even better) stir-fried, it's wonderful.
I still don't eat raw bananas -- I choked on one when I was 5. Cooked, yes.
I like turnips -- raw, they're sort of like a very mild radish, and slices are excellent for dipping. Cooked, they're softer and less starchy than potatoes.
