- Broken_Hippo 8y agoThis - very much this. IT is really, really common for adults to like foods they disliked as children. This is in part because of the changing palate (and in part due to social pressure).
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoWell, I wasn't a kid thirty years ago and I didn't like them much then :) "Over the last twenty years, farmers have mellowed the "unpleasant" flavor of Brussels sprouts by breeding a vegetable that contains fewer bitter compounds or glucosinolates. So, Brussels sprouts just taste better than they used to when we were kids."
