I love broccoli. I can remember crying over the thought of eating it as a kid. Then I remembered many other things I refused to let contaminate my tastebuds when I was younger and found I absolutely love the taste of those same things now.
Not only that but things I use to enjoy as a kid have no appeal to me at all anymore. Celery makes me urge just from the smell and I use to love it filled with cheese whiz or even peanut butter smeared on top of it. ICK! Peanut butter.....
I know that taste buds change over time but heck if I can remember when that time was. It's not like today I like the taste of broccoli and tomorrow it will all of a sudden make me sick just at the sight of it. Yet at some point that's exactly what happened.
WHEN did it all happen????

I even felt that way about blue cheese and oysters up until I was about 24 😕
Now, at 55, I'm beginning to like "funky" rather than sweet things. 😛 Maybe our taste buds get tired???

I've recently started enjoying a much wider range of cheeses. I used to be a hard cheese only type of guy and not the really smelly ones at that. Now I'll try pretty much any cheese (although brined Feta is too salty to me and I still can't bring myself to like Blue).
Wine I'm still not a big fan of but perhaps that's because I've never really taken the time to try a selection and find something I like.

Originally posted by widgetYeah, I know exactly what you mean about the whiskey. I used to like it til I was about 16, not I just can't stand the stuff. Two things I never liked and still don't like are baked beans and ketchup... And I used to hate peanut butter til the time I got wrecked and had it with Marmite, tahini and honey (yup, all together) on crumpets...
