Q: Is there any food you didn’t like as a child, but now you do?
A: When I was a child my mother didn’t really buy vegetables. She bought canned corn, but that’s about it. So I didn’t ever really have fresh vegetables until I was an adult. I thought that I didn’t like some of them, but it was just that I hadn’t tasted them. My mother always told me that spinach was horrible, so I thought I didn’t like it, but actually I like it quite a lot. I usually have spinach in my salads and sandwiches, and I often make spinach quiche. I also like beans quite a bit, but my mother did not ever serve them when I was growing up. I often cook with black beans these days. I like salad, but I never had a salad until I was about 23 years old!

Q: 子供の頃好きではなかったけど、今は好きな食べ物はある？
A: 子供の頃、母があまり野菜を買わなかったの。缶詰のコーンは買っていたけれど、そんなもんかな。
大人になるまで生の野菜を食べたことがなかったわ。野菜は好きじゃないものがあると思っていたけど、単に食べたことがなかっただけだったわ。母はいつも私にほうれん草は最悪と言っていたから、自分は好きじゃないと思っていたけど、今はすごく好き。サラダやサンドイッチにはたいてい入れるし、ほうれん草のキッシュもよく作るのよ。あと豆類もすごく好きなんだけど、子供の頃、母は食事に出さなかったわね。最近はブラックビーンズでよく料理を作るわ。私はサラダが好きなんだけど、２３歳になるまで食べたことがなかったの！
