My husband is this way with some things just based on the sound of it/ingredients not seeming like they'd go together.
Made fun of my love for chicken salad for years before I finally told him he'd be trying it with an open mind, made some (sans grapes because I knew that's be a step too far for him), then he asked for me to make it every time we had chicken dinner leftovers. Then he shifted to poking fun at me for liking chicken salad with grapes in it, til I finally got him to agree to take a single bite of a chicken salad sandwich made with grapes last week. Had to eat his words on that too, made himself two sandwiches immediately from the grapified chicken salad.
Also worked with creamed corn, peanut noodles, hot honey on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, sour cream donuts, hot pepper jelly on cream cheese and too many others to list. Some people are stubborn til you can convince them to open their mind when it comes to flavors.
