All Change

Taste buds, those little lumpy things on your tongue.

The Tongue Map

Recently I’ve noticed a change in foods I like or dislike. Okay, admittingly I will never try mussels due to them making me really ill as a child (probably ate a dodgy one), nor like tomatoes again apart from the plum tomatoes (due to having a stomach bug which since has caused me to hate tomatoes), but you know people tell you that your tastes in food change as you get older? Well I can confirm this is indeed true. 

How do I know the above is true I hear you ask. Well reader…..I noticed at Christmas something weird…..I actually enjoyed eating Brussel sprouts!! I’ve never liked them before, unfortunately my discovery of now liking these little sprouts has caused the hubby to dislike my newfound enjoyment as they cause some pretty big and very smelly farts 😂. So I have tried a few things since then that I’ve hated and have discovered I now actually like them.

What are these foods? 

1. Dark chocolate, never been keen on the taste but recently I’m loving it and quite enjoy a piece or two with a cup of tea or coffee. 

2. Turkey, a meat I’ve never really enjoyed and often avoided if possible, but since meeting the fella and going round his parents’ for Christmas, I love it(husband’s stepdad cooks an amazing Christmas turkey). I always opt to have turkey when we go to our local carvery.

3. obviously I’ve already mentioned this one above: Brussel “farting” sprouts.
