My parents (and my family in general) was always good about getting me to try new foods when I was a little kid. I was never able to just refuse something; I'd have to at least try a small helping. As a result, I liked some foods (clams are one example) that most little kids don't enjoy.
I think that made me a lot more open-minded about food as a teenager and adult.
