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
-

Would choose a starter rather than pud
-
If we go posh I have a starter and a pud 8)
-
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

Not keen on bacon

I hate stodgy pastry so not keen on pies.
I love smoked fish and smoked meats but the thing that I love above all else is tomatoes.

clkd, do you think he would share his proper curry recipe, mine never taste quite right :(
When i was young the smell of toasted cheese or cheese sauce used to make me heave, now i love both ::)
Love good curries , tomatoes in any form, just ate six little sweet ones with a cheese sandwich
Love fresh cream poured on fruit, cake anything :)
Hate pastry on anything savory but love sweet pies.
-
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!
