I felt the same way about cilantro leaves and about fresh ginger.  I hadn't 
eaten either growing up, and when I first tried them as an adult, they were 
both soapy to me.  Then I married Tony, who was in charge of dinner for the 
first few years we were married and he used them both so I ate them.  I 
gradually grew to tolerate, then like, then demand these two ingredients.  I 
actively seek them out, and find excues to use them.

Anise, on the other hand, I disliked from childhood.  I don't like licorice 
or fennel much either.   And despite years of having these flavors in my 
foods, I've never grown to like them and as the cook will leave them out or 
at least cut them to the most minimal amount.

Funny that I can adjust to the first group, but not the second group.   And 
it's not just the association with true love and dinner that I didn't have 
to cook. Tony also uses the licorice flavored spices often, or would if I 
weren't so pouty and grouchy about it.
