Changing taste - hating food you once loved

Now if I could just figure out how to replace the wine, but still get than nice, relaxed glow.

Medicinal marijuana.

And you wouldn't hate any food.

Never! I grew up in the 50's. We were sweet and innocent kids. Loved it!

I grew up in the '80s. We had Reagan.

Tried having some of the chips & salsa last night. Loved the salsa, couldn't eat many chips. As has been said, this is actually a good thing. I used to plow through a bag in no time.

My cat liked the chips though.

Can't remember any foods I used to like and now can't stomach. There are some where things have changed slightly. For instance, I've also changed the type of potato chip I prefer. It's easier for me to think of foods I used to dislike but now like, though.

Ditto!

I grew up poor. We didn't have the luxury of innocence, the resources for self indulgence, or the idealism to see Regan as some kind of cultural icon who rescued us from our moral degredation (after all, he spawned Bill Bennet, Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and G. Dubya). But, how to make a great meal out of limited and mundane ingredients (often welfare handouts) -- that I got in spades. As my fortunes changed, so did my tastes in foods (and a few other important things in life). I stand with Mike and Jenise on this one.

Oh don't get me wrong, there's plenty of things I once hated that I now love to eat, but it's the sudden change on some old faves that has me scratching my head.

Changes in health status and/or medications will often have that effect. Think about what's different in your life over the past few months and you might be able to zero in on the stimulus/response. Actually, Stuart is not far from wrong. Ask any woman who has been pregnant and she will often tell you that there are certain foods that she couldn't eat or stand to smell during gestation; or that she craved in a way that she never repeated after she gave birth. Hormones, metabolisms and just the cycles of life all owe to these differences that we notice over the life span.

Nothing of consequence. I haven't been notably sick in a year, and there hasn't yet been a doctor that can get me to take medication for more than a day or two (e.g. to kill an ear infection I had a few years back).

I no longer enjoy eating a tube of raw slice-and-bake chocolate chip cookie dough. So far that's all...could be my age, I suppose.

Thankfully I've not been cured of that yet; probably a sign I would need to pursue euthanasia.

However, I don't like pizza as much as I used to. When I was a teen, Domino's pizza was delicious, frankly any pizza was delicious. Now I don't especially care for any of the pizzas I can get locally, though I still crave it. Sadly, I'll get pizza anyway, hoping that this time it'll be good. The definition of insanity?

You just need to make your own. That was my solution.

Pizza remains one of those things I can never get enough of. I can't remember one that I couldn't eat. There are great ones and good ones, but no really bad ones. (And this is not a good thing!)

What's your question?

Not too many things I don't like - raw oysters is about the only thing that comes to mind. Can't imagine ever liking them - too slimy. Oh, and kidneys - no explanation needed.

When I was a kid I wasn't too fond of mushrooms - which is odd because they don't have a whole lot of taste, maybe it was a texture thing. I love them now though - serve them often in various ways - with wine of course.
