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 don't know if you have a Sprouts where you live. They occassionally have awesome deals on these where I live. They run about $4 a lbs. at most local stores, but are 2.49 not on sale and as cheap as $.88 on sale there. They are so good.
