Isn’t it funny how our tastes can change over the years? TV shows we used to think hilarious now make us cringe, ones we thought were sappy now make us bawl. Same with music, movies and books. I guess it only makes sense as we’re always evolving, growing and changing so why shouldn’t our tastes?

What really surprised me was when I was making my salad for lunch the other day and realized I was picking all of the sliced radishes out. Not to throw away, as I used to do, but to eat! That’s when it hit me that there are plenty of foods I used to avoid that I now enjoy. So, without further ado:

Here are the Top Five Foods I Used to Avoid but Now Eat:

1. Radishes (as mentioned above). Love the crunch and slight bitterness to them!

2. Walnuts. I used to hate walnuts but now love them – except in desserts. If you put walnuts in my chocolate cake (as my mom did for my birthday) I’ll still eat around them.

3. Dark Chocolate. Must be from cutting back on my sugar but milk chocolate is often too sweet. I especially love Newman’s Own organic dark chocolate! Yum!

4. Beer. I always sort of liked beer but now I really like it. As in really, really. I’m still craving that pizza and beer from my last Chit Chat post

5. Yogurt. When I was a teenager I couldn’t even stand the smell of yogurt, I hated it so much. Then I had my first kid and suddenly, I couldn’t eat enough of it *g*

And here are five foods I still can’t stand:

1. Celery

2. Nuts other than walnuts (pecans, cashews, filberts etc)

3. Beets

4. Pickles (it’s a taste and texture thing)

5. Meringue

What foods do you now enjoy that you used to avoid? What foods do you dislike?
