This past year has been big for me when it comes to food. There are several items that I used to avoid that I now really enjoy such as bell peppers, bean sprouts and coconut. I’ve also tried new things and have discovered that I really like butternut squash and radishes.

I guess it’s true that our tastes in food changes as we get older. What kid likes vegetables? Yet, as an adult, I am a big fan of tomatoes.

There are 3 things that I still don’t like; this confuses my friends because we have similar tastes in foods and yet I don’t like these items which they all seem to think are awesome: beans, tomatoes and olives. I once saw tomato on a list of umami foods and found that surprising since I’m a big fan of umami flavors. However, I just don’t like tomatoes. Also, I concede that beans are very tasty, but I can’t get over the texture. As for olives, both the flavor and strange texture give me the heebie jeebies.

What about you? Are there foods that you are surprised to now like? On the flip side, are there things that you feel like you should enjoy but don’t?
