We don't start losing our taste until around 50-60 so it's definitely the mindset of trying new things and being open to new tastes. Like the fish dish you just did. I used to hate fish skin because it was very strong in flavor but now I love it (if it's made well). I still hate dairy though :) Umami is not really a flavor; you can add MSGs to any food and enhance it's umami.
