Do your Taste buds change as you get older? I'm liking stuff that I never ate as a kid. I never ate cheese until I was about 25, now I want cheese on everything. I hated tomatoes but love Pizza and Lasagnia. I can't eat a raw tomato though. In the last year or so I have tomatoes in my salads and on my Sandwiches.. Another thing I never liked is Refried Beansand now I can't get enough of them. And no I'm not pregnant..

Ya sure there isn't a little bear on the way? lol! just kidding! I think as we grow and change, our taste buds are following right behind... I used to hate pickles but now I love them! and I used to absolutely love strawberry jam... now I can't stand it! Great discussion, I had never really given this much thought.. but you are right.. I guess anything can change, even taste!

Hi missybear! My tastes have changed since I have grown. I used to like hotdogs but now I eat as few as possible. Like you I never eat tomatoes but as an adult I like them here and there.

I wish I would loose the taste for Hot Dogs or some other stuff that's fattening.

Isn't it funny that people always think you're pregnant if you eat weird stuff.

There are things that I did not like when I was younger that I will eat now. There are a lot of things though that I still do not like. I think our taste buds are always changing.

I just thought of another 1 while I was looking for salad dressing. I never liked blue cheese dressing and now it's one of my favorites. Weird

Yes I do believe you're taste buds change as you get older. I never used to like broccoli until a few years ago. I also can't stand tomatoes but I will eat tomatoe sauce.

I guess there is quite a few people that don't like tomatoes

Hey missy! I swear, we must be related! I used to hate tomatoes too! I loved tomato sauce, but never liked tomatoes! Now I love them on my sandwiches too! So I also have found that my tastebuds have changed and I am eating things now that I didn't used to eat either! I never used to love veggies and now I can't get enough of them! I guess that's a good thing!

I think we really are related. I never really cared for veggies either. I eat them now more because they good for you. So people tell me "You need to eat more Veggies"

I think it does.....I used to eat ketchup on everything. Now I don't. I used to like fast foods.....now I prefer to eat at home or a good sit down restaurant. Some things have really lost their appeal. And some times things I wouldn't try in the past taste very good! LOL

I think so. I hated sour cream until about a year ago and now I can eat it by the spoonfuls just plain. I found that extremely weird.
