Coffee is one of my very favorite things in the whole world and I don't ever remember a time where I didn't like it. Right from the start I've always preferred it black - no flavors or dairy.
Alcohol is a little different. Beer I loved from my first sip when I was probably 5 or 6. Whisky, gin, vodka, etc... I mostly didn't like until I learned a little bit more about the drinks and the flavors that alcohol can carry (it's why cooking with alcohol can be amazing).
My life with vegetables is similar. As a kid I thought there was nothing more vile than broccoli and brussel sprouts. I thought tomatoes were gross and grapefruit was pure poison. As an adult, I've learned to love all that stuff.
Palates change.
- luqtas 2y agoi remember once @ my great grandad house taking half a cup of wine around my 7 y/o; didn't tasted awful at all but i was expecting Fanta Grape Soda and i was thirsty... but yeah, palate differs when you grow up; now if it's because social influence or effects from the substance, i dunno? but on taste & food (which for me it's different than a toxic substance); bitter/sour is rarely pleasurable for first timers and i can't deny that i'm in love with right after starting to ferment my stuff :)
- theGnuMe 2y agoIt's genetic.. kids prefer sweet things that are high calorie since they are growing. Also bitter things tend to be poisonous in the evolutionary sense.. As you age you lose taste buds that don't regenerate, probably as an adaptive trait to discover new food sources.
