Our taste buds can change a lot as we grow up, there may be foods we couldn't get enough of as children that we barely touch today. And sometimes it's the opposite—we might have disliked certain foods when we were younger but now genuinely enjoy them. Like i remember hating catfish as a kid, but now i enjoy eating it, especially when it's well grilled or fried. Then there are those childhood favorites that never lose their magic. One bite can bring back memories of school days, family gatherings, holidays, or meals prepared by someone special.
What's one food you absolutely loved growing up that you still enjoy today? And is there a food you used to hate but now love?

Not all, some - they stop producing, some are not good for the health.

I still love cantaloupe and chocolate. Never used to eat beans but do now

I agree that our taste buds definitely change over time. As a child, I loved simple homemade snacks, and I still enjoy them because they bring back so many good memories. One food I used to avoid was bitter gourd, but now I actually appreciate its unique taste and health benefits. It's funny how foods we once disliked can become favorites as we grow older.

I would eat broccoli and cheese all the time as a child. Now, while I’ll eat the broccoli, I won’t touch it if it has cheese on it. Additionally, while I’ll still eat a grilled cheese sandwich, it can’t have American cheese. American cheese was fine when I was little, but as an adult it is an affront upon my senses.
