Changing tastes in food

[Globalti]

Always disliked beetroot and gooseberries. I'll eat anything else.

Used to like a bit of whisky as a teenager, now even the smell of it turns me inside out.

I'm the exact opposite, the smell used to turn my stomach but now I enjoy different types but can't take too much.

As an aside, I don't think that tastes the same to everyone. No way anyone can taste what I taste with Laphroaig and say they like it.

I try every year to like whisky but can’t. Which is odd because I love rum.

And English mustard, and Horseradish. Love them now.

I used to think olives were vile but now I absolutely love them.

My 12 yr old son eats olive like sweets if we let him. We hoped that letting him do it once would solve the problem when he next went to the privvy but it didn't bother him.

I really tried to like Alcohol before my wedding because I knew my father in law would want to drink a beer with me.

Didn't work: He has to put up with me drinking orange juice.

I used to hate sprouts and beetroot. I still do.

My sister used to hate olives, but then at age 38 she suddenly loved them.

I also dated a lady years ago who had been a vegetarian all her life, because she couldn't stand meat. One day out of the blue she was in the supermarket and fancied some cooked bacon pieces. She paid for them, then scoffed the whole packet in the car park and has eaten meat ever since.

I used to hate sprouts

I did too until I tried them in a stir-fry with chopped chillies, broccoli and a little sesame oil. Proper tasty!

I used to hate sprouts.

I expect that's something where the product itself has changed. Less bitter varieties are now the norm than used to be the case.

Sprouts have been bred to be nicer.
Quite a lot of fruit and veg has changed in the last 40 years.

@Jimidh yes olives are the example I've heard before, so at first I eyed my young nieces with suspicion as they love olives already. Turns out they're lovely kids, I shouldn't have worried

@Beebo sprouts are the work of the devil, and unless they've been bred so thoroughly they've transmogrified into something completely different, I'm never going near them again. #scarred.

As a student a large part of my diet was beans on toast. Now I'm all grown up and classy I have pesto on the toast instead of butter, and grated cheese and herbs on the beans, soooooo middle class.

As a kid I hated mayonnaise and salad cream, now as an adult I absolutely fekin hate salad cream and mayonnaise more than I ever thought possible,
