Do you think our sense of taste changes as we grow older? If given a choice I have always preferred fish opposed to meat, savouries opposed to sweet. I now seem to be choosing the opposite. Is this usual.

:-S

Don,t think so Paula,Mine Has,nt, always had good taste.:o))>.

I used to love hot spicy food but only like mild things now... :-S

I always thought I had, it's very strange.

Jules I still like hot spicy food.

I used to really like fizzy sweets to, now I can't stand them.....I think my taste in men has changed to!!! Much prefer to be on my own :-S :-S

Lol Jules I have not reached that stage yet :-S

I used to work in a nursing home Paula, and remember many of the relatives would say that mum/dad never used to have a sweet tooth but now they loved sweets/biscuits/cakes.

I agree, although some of it is from lack of opportunity.

It used to be sweet versus savoury, now its the other way round.

Chilli, curry and peppery spices, fresh horseradish are a no-no. They give my mouth/lips the feeling that they are being burned. Even if that doesn't happen, anything else eaten just gives a 'hot' taste - no flavour.

I used to be a chocolate fiend but, although I still like it, am not so mad about it, and don't much like chocolately things, like cake or pudding. Have a less sweet tooth now - I used to like cake and biscuits, but now only buy biccies occasionally (loads of them I'm not keen on) and only like cake if it's homemade!!

Mum was the only one in the family who liked roast parsnips ,she used to do some for herself with the roast pots for the Sunday roast . I did try them but urgggg
Funny thing though is for some years I have been able to eat and enjoy them . Still don't like cooked carrots though ,can eat em raw but cooked no thanks .

I was "allowed" not to eat them as a kiddy cos dad didn't like them either so I was just like dad!

If any found their way onto my plate in a stew I didn't have to eat them

I use to enjoy chocolate & fondant fancies .but no more they are to sweet .more into savoury things .love tomatoes .crispbreads with cream cheese on .low fat Honest x
