Lickszz Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I always used to hate Beetroot but recently I have discovered that I now love it. I can't get enough of it. Has anyone else acquired any tastes that they were known to previously dislike. Can anyone explain what would cause this to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I was the same with tomatoes until I was in my 20s. Couldn't bear them but now have them with most meals. I think it's something to do with your tastebuds maturing or dying, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Strange though it may seem, there once was a time when I didnt eat curry at every meal. I couldnt stand the stuff Now I am practically family to the guys in the takeaway at the bottom of my road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings your taste buds back to life. Things taste and smell better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplepippa Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Weird you should bring this up because it has recently happened to me! I turned vegetarian when I was 12 and even before that never ate bacon because I didn't like it. I was vegetarian for about 11 years and then vegan for 10 months, and then all of a sudden I went chicken mad and literally ate nothing but chicken for about 6 weeks. I figured my veggie days were over, so started eating meat again. But I never had bacon cos I *knew* I hated it. But over the years I had quite a collection of food that I hated, brussels sprouts being an obvious one, but also toast, bananas, ham, and bacon. A couple of months ago I decided to try and eat each of those things to see whether I actually did still hate them or not. With the obvious exception of brussels sprouts as they are pure evil. So I tried toast, still didn't like it. Bananas - as absolutely disgusting as I remember. Ham... surprisingly nice and then bacon... and since then I have gone completely mad for it!! It takes a lot of effort to not find myself at the sandwich shop every day for a bacon and egg buttie. I can't understand why I hated it in the first place, and I can't believe I deprived myself of something so delectable for so long!! Weirdly though, I might hate stuff that everyone likes (toast and bananas) but I do like stuff that a lot of people hate - olives, marmite, mustard etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a good mature Cheddar and beetroot sandwhich - my mother started me off on these in the early fifties, when she packed my school lunch - I still love them after fifty years.
