Title: Changing taste in food/ whats your favourite ?
Post by: honeybun on August 02, 2013, 04:32:46 PM
The older I get the simpler my taste becomes in food. In fact I am in danger of becoming seriously picky.

I used to be of the eat anything type of person. I worked in catering in my younger days and that put me off food generally. I just grazed.

Now I like fish and seafood and chicken far more than anything else. If it tastes light and fresh then I am happy.

Anyone else's tastes changed over the years and what is your best and worse food.

Best ----- shellfish
Worst-----liver.

Good topic!

As a recovering anorexic - I still stick to 'safe' foods.  But I do go 'out' to eat more often without too many problems.

LOVE: Roast beef and Yorkshire pud - that would be my last meal ;-)
HATE: corned beef or squid

If there is a choice of first course or pud, it's a pud usually every time  ;D

Pud for me too.  As I have a dodgy tummy sometimes now, I think along the lines of, "will that upset my tum?" before deciding what to have.

Best:   Pasta
Worst: Rapidly going off meat

Starter for me as I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

Used to love cucumber....now I hate the taste.
It has not changed so it has to be me. I also like celery now and used to hate the smell..
My taste buds have gone funny.

As for changing tastes - mine have changed dramatically since having to go dairy free.

I did wonder if sugar was less sweet, until I realised that those packets in cafes are only half full these days  :o

Love Cheesecake - has to be with digestive base though, always have, always will. 

Tomatoes not so good for my dodgy stomach now - they were my craving during my first pregnancy.

Just had a toasted fruit scone with lots of flora on it - was yum!
