Subject: What food tastes of yours have changed over time?

Written By: Marty McFly on 04/29/08 at 9:26 am

I loved the heck out of soda as a kid, especially Diet Coke lol. I probably had enough from age 5-11 to last a lifetime. I'm not sure why, but I kinda simultaneously got burned out on it and started liking bottled and mineral water around 1994. Even today it's usually my favorite and I only have soda on occasion, like if it's with pizza.

I also thought coffee was gross when I was younger, but started getting a taste for it around 15-16. I guess I was old enough then for servers at restaurants to ask me if I wanted it, lol.

I've also gotten more into health food over the years and became a vegetarian in 2001.

Oh wow, I used to hate just about everything as a kid....what I get for having parents who are afraid to try new things.
But some things I like now that I used to hate/barely tolerate as a kid: broccoli, tuna, zucchini, squash, stew, spinach, chinese food in general, fish

I do however still not like any type of shrimp, lobster or crap (ok maybe I can tolerate a small crab rangoon every once in a while).  Also, I remember I used to LOOOOOOOOOOVE chocolate when I was a kid.  I used to save all the chocolate in my easter basket to make it last.  Now, I only eat it in small segments.  I also don't like rich chocolatey cakes or brownies so much anymore.  Fruity desserts or cheesecake is what I prefer now

Over 90% of my tastes food wise are still intact. The only differences I can think of is that I actually like broccoli now and love spicy hot foods(which developed during my late teens)... I wouldn't have dared even ate a pepper as a kid. There are probably a couple of other things that are different in my tastes now, but I can't remember them.

I know I still hate the following:

Sandwich spread, tuna salad, ham salad, pasta salad, egg salad, chicken salad, deviled eggs and onions.

I definitely did not like artichokes and butternut squash when I was little, but now I really enjoy it.

I really do not each much red meat anymore.  Mostly chicken, except the occasional burger or steak on a special occasion.

I do not eat candy any more and I hate soda, which I used to love as a kid.

So basically you don't like anything mayonnaise-based?

As well any stuff that's mustard based(which is what is in deviled eggs along with mayo). I forgot about potato salad, something else I won't eat.

I was probably a mother's dream as a child. I loved to eat veggies. Still do.

I used to hate liver and onions when I was little.  8-P My dad used to make it all the time. But now I like it.

That's about it, I usually like most things that I eat.  ;D

LOL me too, I was always something of a geek (in a good way) in that in some ways I strayed from what would've been considered typical for my age at the time. To this day I love veggies, and on another note I loved sushi as far back as like 4 or 5.

Yeah, I like liver. LOL. But I could never eat sushi. I liek fish, but it has to be fried or baked or cooked in some way.  :)

I used to love coffee - back before Starbucks took over. Now I can't stand the smell.

I used to love pork and now I don't care for it.

I never liked pickles as a kid.  Now I like them, but I only like them as a stand alone snack, I still don't care for them in a sandwich or burger.

I used to like that vienna sausage canned stuff when I was a kid, I can't imagine why and wouldn't eat it now.

I ate alot more meat in general when I was a kid.  I'm not a vegetarian but my meat-eating is pretty much limited to finger foods, cold cuts, meatballs, sausage, etc.  I won't eat a steak (unless it's a filet mignon) or anything with gooey fat or bones.

That is good, since you must have been going bananas before.  Serenity now!

Me too. I used to like Lil Smokies and Steak-Ums when I was a kid: I cannot stand those now (or brussel sprouts).

Heh heh, probably the potassium in them or something. Now researchers have found eating two bananas a day can ease high blood pressure:

The stress of eating those things could raise my blood pressure.  ;D

I was THE pickiest eater when I was a kid.  At holidays I'd only eat the snacks, rolls, and desserts.  Around 4th grade however, I started eating meat, fruit, nuts, and veggies.  I also started trying different foods.  My mom was happy that I was trying things, even if I didn't like everything.

I used to really love breakfast food.  Then I spent a long stint in the hospital.  Breakfast food from hospitals is the grossest stuff you will ever eat.  I haven't looked at bacon the same way ever since.

I used to like mushrooms, now I can't stand the sight of them.  I have pretty much gotten off of red meat, too.  But still go for chicken and fish.

There wasn't too much that I didn't like as a kid. A mums dream :) One thing I didn't like was pumpkin. Hated it and mum never made me eat it. But as an adult I love it. I think the only other food i can't stand is sultanas. Liked them as a kid - can't stand them now. It's the texture...like eating snot.....bleahhhh!!!

I used to hate eggs and cantaloupe when I was a kid.  Now I like the both of them.

The elementary school I went to used to have fresh hot rice and wheat everyday and you could get a bowl, but you had to eat everything on your lunch plate first.  I used to stuff my cantaloupe in my milk carton just so I could get some. ha ha :D

I used to not eat salad (didn't like lettuce, tomatoes or dressing) and now eat it all the time.  Favourite dressings include honey mustard and Italian.  I wouldn't eat bacon much neither and now I have to get it all the time on cheeseburgers :D  I also didn't like sushi the first time I tried it, but I totally got into it about 8 years ago.
