Yes... and no. I mean, fruits and veggies were very, very seasonal, save the things we could preserve in different ways. Eggs were seasonal as well. Now with shipping and greenhouses, more of us can have some of the stuff all year. But only if it ships well enough. For a lot of things, we've decided that having the thing is better than not. So we get red delicious even where apples don't grow, and maybe you can buy local ones in autumn - you know, the ones that don't ship well. Some fruits you only get frozen or in jams simply because they won't make it to you fresh. And so on. To make things more complicated, things like apples are strange: An eating apple is a rarity from seed. It might also be that your taste buds were more sensitive when younger: This is a known thing. It lets you eat a wider variety of foods now, as an adult, but can have the effect of not liking other things.
