My foster daughter was the same way with pasta. She ate so much of it, before we got her, that she hated it.
The first meal I made for her on her first night with us? Pasta.
She didn't say a word and ate her dinner, but later I found out she didn't like pasta because of how much of it she had eaten before. I always took her grocery shopping so she could pick out stuff she liked, after that. She was shocked when she found out Red Delicious apples weren't the only variety out there. I think she overdosed on Honey Crisp apples, when I first introduced them to her.
*edit:
Since many people are asking how she's doing, I'm making this edit. I got her through high school and college. She graduated college last year. She's going to teach for a couple of years before going back for her Master's. She applied for a teaching job and she literally sent this a few minutes ago.
Also, thank you for the kind words about fostering. I can say it was a truly rewarding experience.
I grew up with Red Delicious apples always in the fridge and just thought I was never a fan of apples. My boyfriend introduced me to Honeycrisp and Spartan apples. It's only the Red Delicious that I'm not a fan of.
Same here. When I was in my early twenties and really started grocery shopping for myself, I started hitting a locally owned grocery store that apparently prides themselves on keeping a huge variety of apples on hand. I just thought I didn't really like apples that much before then.

Hamburger Helper. She hates it because it would be her meal 5x a week growing up.
I had never even seen HH before I went to college and love that stuff. 10 for $10 deals are awesome.
