When I was younger I hated olives and chick peas but now I love them. Does something happen to your taste buds when you get older?

I still hate butter beans :(

    I think taste buds mature, or maybe we just mature past "eww ___" and are more open to trying things.

    I used to despise spring onions and now I can't get enough of them.

    Peppers. I used to hate them but now I can't remember how I survived wihout them!

    I also never liked pizza, I'm glad I do now though or else there'd never be anything to eat out!

    I'm still holding out hope that one day I will like mushrooms :(

    children tend to not like bitter foods so as we get older we like more things.

    i used to be a right fussy madam but i'm improving. :thumb:

    same as lipsy..i didn't use to like mushrooms but i love them now. i didn't used to eat tomatoey things but i do now..same as peppers. i used to pick out the bits i didn't like but when they're with other foods they actually taste yummy.

    turning it around..i used to like chocolate mousse but now i can't stand it. :yuck:

    Sparkling water.

    Olives.

    Water biscuits.

    But I've gone off far more things I use to like - pizza, eggs, humous, garlic, onion, most Chinese food, vegetarian "fake meat" products.

    I've never liked meat or fish (I turned veggie aged 6 and still am)

    Same. These days it's one of my favourites.

    Also peas, cooked tomatoes (still hate raw ones), any kind of bean (always liked baked beans but now love them all), chick peas, lentils, asparagus, sweet potato, pesto, red onions and ginger :yum:

    I used to have to put sugar in milk if I drank it, now I drink atleast a pint of milk without sugar a day.
    Spring onions and onions, used to hate them, now i like them thinly sliced with salads and sandwhiches.
    I didn't like asparagus.
    There has never been much I don't like thogh, there's about 5 other things i dont like and never will. I love just about all food, if it's cooked right!

    As you get older your tastebuds arent as sensitive to taste, smoking hinders i too.

    I now eat: curries (mild-ish ones), pizzas, raw tomatoes, other stuff I cant remember.

    I still wont eat: Mushrooms, pasta, boiled potatoes. I wont drink milk either, I never have done, my mum gave up making me drink it at about 3 and just made sure I had loads of other dairy produce instead.
