As I've grown older I've noticed how my taste in food has changed quite a lot, here are some foods I hated as a child but love now....

1. Tomato soup
2. Indian food - or anything spicy hot hot hot!
3. Pepper on anything
4. Sprouts
5. Cabbage
6. Plum tomato's
7. Brown bread
8. Rice
9. Omlette's
10. Seafood
11. Wotsits
12. Cadbury's Fruit & Nut

Its strange because I still have some of my strange food obsessions from childhood though, like....

1. When eating flavoured sweets, I'll empty the pack/bag and seperate them into flavour groups so that I don't end up with all one flavour left.

2. I still eat baked beans whenever possible, I just can't get enough of them.

3. Ditto with mashed potato's, I think I may be of Irish decent.

4. This is the strangest of all and Mrs.MM always laughs about it and even tells people....Whenever I eat a meal, I always leave a little bit of everything for last, i.e. if I was eating fish, chips and beans, I'd have a chip left, a bit of fish and a few beans. Thus the last fork-full would have a bit of everything on it.

Weird, no?

I'm trying to think, but my taste is pretty much the same. Apart from I can't stand chocolate and sugary things anymore.

my taste buds have definately moved on, but you are correct about the beans thing, in fact my son commented today that I eat beans more than he does.

I do like Red wine and I remember still not liking that when I was about 18. And Curries really really hot curries.

But you are STILL young, Minxy! Though not THAT young, obviously, no question of that...

Tomatoes and spicy foods.

lol, when you grow older, your taste buds and brain work differently so maybe thats whats causing it, no?

I used to not like liverworst...but for some odd reason I like it now

There's some more....

Strong cheeses - Stilton, smoked etc. I love them all now.

Red wine - hated it but now its all I'll drink in the house.

And Raz is right about sweets, I really can't eat too many now without feeling ill. Does anyone else seperate flavoured sweets like me? I'd like to think its not all that weird.

no..i do the axact same thing, IF i like everything in the plate.
If not, i'm sure to leave for the last fork a bit of everything of what i like.

I try to eat the things I like the least first and save my favourite to last, this ensures I will eat it all too.

Yup, I do that aswell.

yeah...but when i'm really not hungry...this tactic doesn't always work.
Cause i sometimes end up not being able to eat my favourite.

- passage from the 'art of eating' -

I don't wanna grow up..... Being 17 is kinda fun... if you forget abt the stress of schoolwork, housework, actual paid work, holiday fees, driving lessons, trying to look good, having a social life, attempting to keep parents happy... Actually, on second thoughts, role on the diploma!!

unfortunatley the stress will increase proportional with the age.
I'm yet to see that on myself

What about the colour/flavour coding of sweets though people, am I a freak?

Yes Mech you appear to be a freak. Happy now?

though you didn't ask me...I'm happy now

Good, if you're happy Jules,then we too are happy.

never cared for sea food when I was younger, still dont and Mech you are indeed weird.

But you can see my logic though, there's nothing worse than having lots of the same flavoured sweet in a row. Much better to get them all out at the start and group them by flavour, thus being able to have one of everything left at the end.

Sounds very organised.

sounds like luni home is next

But at least all my sweeties will be in order.

hm...

Yes growing up is hard to do.....I still hate macaroni and cheese, I still hate broccoli and brussel sprouts. And cabbage and collards.

Mech you are autistic, yes?

GS you need to start appreciating Broccolli a little more, it's one of the most under-rated vegetables. come on eat up your greens now.

Somehow I don't think so. I hate greens. Thanks all the same.

But they are extremely good for you.

I hate broccoli

Hmmm you and Gordon are the same, you are like Michael and Latoya, only your mothers can tell you apart.

my waffle! you mean I could lose interest in waffles ... AND chocolate??

No, no, that's not likely to happen we are talking chocolate here nobody ever loses the taste for chocolate.

I know some
*worried*
better eat more before I don't like it anymore
*opens up truck and starts eating*

My mom likes eating chocolates from the store. So does my dad. I don't but every now and then I lke to eat a watchamacallit bar.

a whatdidchacallit ?

icalleditfood ?

Finti's the Rainman!

That was the name of the bar gentlemen. It was a Willy Wonka bar. Like the guy in the movie.

thats a nick i got cause i rule the weather..........too is it raining in the midlands yet?

Hot as hell today, and I was stuck in office all day designing.

How come it always rains when I'm out on the road and bloody lovely when I'm stuck indoors? It a feckin' conspiracy I tells ya.

shoot! he's on to me!
*hides under the table*

they can still see you me thinks.

*searches pillow to hide underneath*

Nah that won't work.

Haha, seems today our roles were reversed.

I spent all day on the road going to and from a meeting that lasted 2 hours. But on the plus there was very little traffic, so I just roled down the windows, stuck the radio on and took it nice and easy.

Weather like this makes me promise myself that my next car will be a convertable.

so we gonna give you some rain then

I'd love a soft-top too, but we'd only get to use it about twice per year in this country Catch.

rain in england finti? impossible!

Nice weather for ducks.

Anyway, whats Belgium got to offer?

Except for cheap tobacco I suppose.

chocolate, waffles, beer
that's pretty much it ...

And more rain than England.

ya! england is darn sunny!

T'was today.

t'is always when I am there

Rain Rain Rain in England. Sun Sun Sun over The Paradise Retreat.

which is located where?
*takes notebook*

You head up to Oostende, take a ferry accross the Channel and voila you are there.

:

don't like oostende, is there an alternative way?

Yes.

by air

but have you seen heathrow??
other way please

there is always Gatwick

don't like the name

Heathrow is where I was just at........I think......

was it a place with lots of airplanes?

...and annoying air stewardesses.

that's not bad

This one could talk anyone to death." Yes growing up is hard to do", she would say every time we crossed paths........

who is this one talking about?

A particular stewardess-in-training I had the misfortune of meeting some time ago.

I fail to see the misfortune in that at the moment

Love at first sight leads to broken hearts.

or happy lives

Oh it was fun while it lasted.

of course

Now I am in search for new experiences.

try a pilot now

Only if she is cute.

of course!

and if she's a she

That goes without saying!

a she is a she... mah... don't overthink it

i'm still in the stages.
