For some reason there's certain food that simply doesn't appeal to kids or teenagers and you need to be of a certain age before your tastebuds change to appreciate it. Don't really know why but I never likes fresh tomatoes only tinned. Now I like them. I also like olives, sushi, smoked salmon, clue cheese.

What's the one thing you didn't like when you were younger but like as an adult?

I didn't like Coffee when I was kid but now that I am older I like it now.

I wonder if it has something to do with it being bitter. People don't seem to like anything with a bitter flavour when they're younger but tastes tend to change later in life.

I still hate all those things as an adult!!!

And I still hate grapefruit (the devil's fruit).

I was the same as you with tomatoes though.

Only just noticed. That should have read 'blue cheese.'

I'm obviously not a grown up yet as I only like smoked salmon from that list

I love my white wine but never was able to drink red, thats slowly changing.

Coffee, wine, mushrooms.

I think your right because I didn't like the Coffee when I was younger because it tasted bitter.

I didn't like coffee either until my 30's. Now I seem to really like most vegetables and have a willingness to try most things and I never would have done that earlier in my life.

Single Malt Whiskey.

I never drank tea when I was younger, lived and died on coffee, only have the odd latte now, but I do drinklots of cups of tea.

I really like olives, smoked salmon, blue cheese and sushi. I hated all of them when I was younger (with the exception of sushi because I hadn't tried it)

I can't stand wine though, I kept thinking my tastes might change but nope. Maybe in my 30s lol

Olives and beetroot!

Some of it is down to the mother's diet as well.
Apparently if mothers eat things like broccoli and asparagus while pregnant, and continue doing so while breast-feeding, their offspring will be more likely to enjoy more bitter flavours (and even healthy vegs) when they grow older.

Beetroot & parsnips were my dislikes as a child - oh and blue cheeses, I do love them now tho'.
Never have got used to butter, I still detest it and margarine -

blue cheese, whisky, olives and liver I now like

still can't stand grapefruit, celery, kidney and venison

It's odd - I have grown to like baked beans, malt whisky, beetroot and lentils.

Still can't stand sprouts, sweetcorn (the vegetable of the devil), olives and liver (I can't sit in our canteen if liver is one the menu)

Fresh tomatoes I hated as a child. I love them now, but they have to have salt on them. It's just the law . Will eat most anything otherwise, as has always been the case!

I, too hated fresh tomatoes. I couldn't stand them.

Now I love them especially baby plum tomatoes! I like wine now but remember trying it as a teenager and being physically sick by the taste, it was Merlot, I love Merlot now. I also used to hate humus as a child/teen.

I still hate blue cheese and have tried my very best to aquire my tastebuds to olives but it just isn't happening.

My 5 year old son is an old man with his taste buds, he will state that his favourite cheese is Camembert and can handle a vindaloo and ask for seconds! Yet stick a huge chocolate cake infront of him he will say "no thanks"!

Gherkins!

olives

I'm not unconvinced that in the vast majority of cases, not liking this or that is simply down to ideas rather than actual taste or physical effect.

I'm still trying to like liver but the taste is like rancid gone off meat. When it's cooking it smells lovely but one bite and i'm hurling. It's not the texture because texture isn't something that bothers me. I just can't stand the flavour. It's like really strong game.

I'm still hoping my tastes will change as I get older.

I'm totally with you there! I feel the same with kidneys, and I also don't like lamb or even the smell of it cooking! I can't eat a steak and kidney pie, even with the kidneys picked out because the flavour is still there, and once I asked for extra gravy in a restaurant for my roast beef, and it came and I ruined my whole dinner as the gravy had been made with lamb juices!

The title makes you think of maturing cheese and spirits

However, reading the paragraph

I took to olives, avocados, coffee, tomatoes and whisky as I aged

Still pass on offal, blue cheese and pate
