We had dinner with friends last Saturday, and we talked a bit about food likes and dislikes. And that got me thinking - some foods that I really like now were not an instant hit for me.
Examples:
- Sushi/sashimi (went from "I don't know about this" to "love it", but it took a few tries)
- Indian food (first time was "hmmm interesting" but now I love it)
- Fresh figs
- Coffee (I always loved the smell but didn't particularly like the flavor or how it made me feel - all hyper and chatty)
- Eggplant (did not like it as a child, grew to love it as a teenager)
- Peanut butter
And in reverse, there were some foods I used to enjoy but now can't deal with (not sure if it's a temporary oversaturation or a permanent change):
- Pineapple
- Nutella
- Avocado
- Sweet tea (tea without sugar is still lovely)
- Cranberry juice (too sweet)
How about you? What are our acquired and dis-acquired tastes?
