From what I understand, people’s likes and dislikes change from when they are younger to when they are older. For example, when I was younger, I hated the taste of mustard. I thought that it was super bitter, but now I find that I put mustard on anything that I can. I can’t explain why because I don’t think I’ve sense an actual change in its taste. Similarly, my friend said that she could not stand the artificial “blue raspberry” flavor when she was growing up. However, now, blue raspberry is her favorite flavor when it comes to sweets.
Why do we have these changes in flavor preferences?

Don’t forget there is also acclimation involved. My mom couldn’t eat anything spicer than ketchup so I thought I also did not like spicy foods.
Boyfriend made tacos and they were too spicy for me. So we toned it down and just used some ancho. Then more ancho. Then a little chipotle. Then a lot of chipotle. Then he fed me chili. Now I eat hotter foods that he can eat and I eat them raviounously as if my tastebuds are going to fall off in 10 years. Because you never know. They just might.
