At 33 I’ve finally grown to like coffee. Up until now I thought it was vile!
So what’s changed? Do your tastes get more sophisticated as you get older?
I’ll be drinking red wine next! |

No still drink Smirnoff Ice and have done since it came out
Actually had a chat with Mr during the week that I had never drank more than a sip of coffee (its rank) so he said he would make me a nice milky coffee when he gets back from Dundee. Might be converted yet x |

Wait until you try I can't believe it's not butter. As you get older you just know... |

"Whisky, Goat's Cheese, Olives.
Wine is just not as nice as Ribena and it's about time wine drinkers grew up and admitted that.  "
Oooh now I’ve always liked olives since I was a kid. Not sure I’ll ever like goats cheese. But at least I stopped eating cheese slices and progressed to things like feta and mozzarella  |

Your so mature. 
I actually still prefer Feta or Mozzarella if I'm honest.

Ooh, I dunno, a glass of chilled Anjou rosè would give the Ribena a good run 
Oysters. Made me heave as a kid, now I can't get enough of them, cold and raw, yum! |

I never grew up with hot drinks, it was cordial and fruit juice until my 30s. But here I am, an avid coffee drinker.
And mushrooms, I hated them, now I quite like them. |

"Goats cheese, olives and gin. Could not see the point of any of them a few years ago.
Now I can’t get enough of them.
I’ll never like coffee though. Urgh"
Gin!!!! You dirty bastard.
I hate Gin, all my friends seemed to get into it around 30. It smells like turps and tastes like fabric. When I am king, all Gin will be launched into the heart of the sun like Nuclear weapons in Superman IV. |

I think I prefer stronger tastes now I'm older but I've always been quite adventurous and sought out restaurants with interesting menus. Have loved coffee, red wine goats cheese etc from my teens so it's not a new thing. However as a kid I wouldn't eat vegetables where as now I'll happily sit with a plate of cabbage |

It's all part of growing up. Who knows? Next you'll be ranching men in their mid 50s (fingers crossed). |

That’s the shit house Gin. The stuff tastes and smells like an old guys aftershave. (Do t ask me why I know that).
But the god stuff, the handcrafted stuff is and can be quite tasty. Lovely fruits and spices and all sorts of lovely flavours can be infused into that liquor. |

"Mussels - I used to hate the very idea but now I get very excited about the prospect of eating a lovely bowl of mussels in a spicy tomato based broth "
Went for food with a buddy I've known since we were 3.
He ordered Mussels like a real grown up would. It looked weird. I didn't like it. Who the fuck does he think he is? I've seen him cry becouse he ate some tipex in junior school. I've seen him try to buy 4 cans of Scrumpy Jack when he was 13. Now look at him. He thinks this is The Trip. What the hell happened. Nearly put me off my egg and chips.
Mussels.  |

Olives, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes...
Gin.
It used to be vodka but with all the new crafted ones, I absolutely love it! Oh and tonic, I never thought I’d like tonic water, but a G&T is my drink of choice now  |

Supposedly our taste buds change, over so many years (cant remember the number) which is why after years we try something and can find we end up liking it as opposed to before. Not saying this works for everything, i dont like liquorice never have and still dont so |

Tastes are funny things.
I regularly challenge mine, to see if I still don’t like things. I’m only just coming around to broccoli. I’m beginning to be able to stomach mushrooms, but that’s as far as I’d go. Goats cheese is awful. Olives, well, it depends on factors beyond my ken, but sometimes I like them, sometimes I don’t.
.
And salted porridge is like the spunk of a dehydrated tramp. No thanks.
.
Some of the other things mentioned in the thread, though? Red wine, Stilton, coffee, all of these are glorious.
.
I like a G&T, but I’m not convinced yet that it isn’t the tonic doing all the work, and that I might prefer a vodka tonic. I’m yet to try.
.
I usually drink Southern Comfort, straight up. People get excited, thinking I’m drinking whisky, but I don’t like the stuff. It’s a weird thing for people to get excited about, though. |

Never liked wine. Tried numerous times but all tastes sour.
But coffee, yes. Only since having Vietnamese coffee in Vietnam two years ago. Bloody lovely stuff (though coffee from high street outlets here still tastes like overpriced mud) |

Outside of neurons and possibly some cells linked to executive functions. All your body's cells are generally replaced every 7-10 years. That includes 'taste buds'. So it makes sense.
NB this is often claimed as folkloric science. But it seems GENERALLY true. |
