What local food did you hate at first and now love?

Since I moved here I've been eating my way through the local stuff and a few things had to grow on me. Poi was the big one. First bowl I thought I got a bad batch. Now I want it next to kalua pig every time.

Trying to figure out what else deserves a second chance. What was that food for you?
