How Have Your Food Tastes Changed Or Surprised You?

So I have recently been surprised by my changing tastes. I tried sushi years ago and hated it. And that was after reluctantly trying it. Well, I was at a buffet a few weeks back and for some reason felt compelled to give it another go. Well, now I love sushi. And I really can't get enough of it. My only complaints is that it's really expensive to get the good quality stuff.

Also, I used to hate spicy food growing up. And I have been loving spicy food for the last few years now. I like to challenge myself to see what my heat limit is too. And slightly related, I used to hate salad dressing of all types and always got a plain salad. But now, I don't mind having Ranch in small quantities.

You guys have something similar?

I cant think of anything specific... I'm not too picky. Theres certain things i don't like but i've always disliked them lol.

I LOVE spicy food and sushi is pretty good! :gj:

I hated green olives as a kid. I love them now.

My only really thing like that I can think of is that I drank a LOT of soda as a kid, now I can't even finish a can of it. I didn't like water much when I was little, now I drink it constantly. Otherwise I'm not overly picky. Raspberries have and always will suck though.

I was that strange little kid who actually like to eat his veggies, lol. My tastes really haven't changed too much, except for enjoying higher quality foods. Steak verses hotdogs. Still and always have been willing to try anything once. Well, almost. Can't do bugs.

Oh yea, I always loved veggies.

That hurts Slaw. Raspberries are my favorite berry. :)

Yea i always ate veggies. I remember when i was like 10 my grandparents were up visiting and i went grocery shopping with my grandma. She was like "since you helped me so much is there anything special you want?" (Im assuming she meant like candy or sweets or something my parents wouldnt normally buy...) I was like "can we get some broccoli?!" I was dead serious too haha. I like broccoli.

Im not a fan of raspberrys either really.

After moving out and living paycheck to paycheck, I got a LOT less picky about what I would and wouldn't eat. :rofl: I few things I used to HATE but now I really like are onion rings (or onions in general), lima beans (I can't believe I hated them as a kid; they're so delicious!!), gravy, oatmeal cookies and coffee. I almost can't function without coffee!!

I can no longer eat a whole bag of chips or a full sleeve of cookies, or start my day off with a Pepsi and 2 giant cinnamon rolls/doughnuts like I used to in high school. I'm surprised I don't have diabetes or a weight problem.

I liked coffee as a kid but my parents didn't let me drink it until i was in high school. I love it!

Raspberries are my number 1 most hated food. I keep trying them occasionally to see if I still hate them and I always do. I've even tried to like them, no such luck.

I can't tell if my ability to taste sweets has diminished OR with rising food costs companies are just using alternatives like corn syrup to make things sweet. Either way, some things just aren't as good as they used to be. Things just taste cheaper now.

Recently, I've been very surprised by how sweet things (cake, candy, ice cream) just make my stomach churn before even eating them. Somebody will offer me a piece of cake and I just feel disgusted for some reason. This started maybe a couple months ago. Sometimes I'll accept, but my stomach just seems to reject these things now. I think I went over board with the candy as a child, so now my adult body is just like...."NOOPE! No more of that!" :rolleyes:

I'm also less against trying new things. I used to hate sweet peppers, but last week I tried sweet peppers with cream cheese and fell in love! It's a pretty tasty snack.

Eggs. The texture and taste was absolutely disgusting as a child, but now I kind of like them.

I'm told I loved fried okra as a child. Now it just seems slimey and nasty on the inside, but I do love spicy pickled okra! Hot dogs are good drunk food, but otherwise you won't see me eating them (brats all the way!).

I'm weird with eggs. Sometimes i can eat them but other times they really gross me out lol. If i cook them im usually fine. I just dont trust other people haha

I can eat hotdogs if theyre grilled and have plenty of mustard and raw onions on them. Otherwise they gross me out too. I don't like brautwurst either. Kielbasa all the way!

As a kid I used to get grossed out just thinking about sushi. Now I not only like it, hold the rice and the seaweed because I like sashimi better.

As a kid I hated pizza, then I started eating it in college, now it's just kind of meh unless I make it myself with fresh veggies.

From what my 7th grade science teacher told me once, taste buds mature or change every 7 years or so. It's not a sudden change, but gradual. I hated watermelon as a kid, now I can eat a whole watermelon in a day, lol.

I think it's one of life's BEST surprises. I'll use raw Kale as an example. All those years the healthiest part of the salad bar was the decoration, and one of the tastiest too.

I seem to crave well seasoned cuisine such as Indian,Middle Eastern, Thai etc, while finding most fast food too terrible to eat.

I've always hated salad..which kinda sucks because it is so common and most people love it! I'm not a salad lover yet, but its starting to grow on me.

I also used to hate sushi but after trying it a few times I love it. Over the years my sushi tastes have changed from rolls to sashimi. Mmm sashimi.

I always hated potato salad growing up, but now I like american potato salad. Mustard potato salad is still gross. I also used to love deviled eggs, now I don't even want to look at them. I always have, and always will hate most pie.(some peanut butter pie is ok) That is mostly because, peanut butter is delicious.
