At what age you started enjoying the finer foods in life?

Interesting research that I think is bang on.


[h=1]How AGE affects our taste in food: We only start liking olives, anchovies and blue cheese in our twenties, survey reveals[/h]

• Survey: People are 22 on average before they enjoy strong-tasting foods
• People start tolerating garlic at 19 but are 28 before they eat goats cheese
• Previous research explains we lose taste buds as we get older, meaning we can tolerate stronger and complex tasting food

Since I was a teen I have enjoyed the finner foods.

It was then I could afford to buy my own meals and some decent ones at that.

Growing up, we had a very basic diet. So it wasn't until stepping out on my own, that I had the opportunity to try different foods. So, the time frame in this report is right on with me. Still don't like anchovies though, I keep thinking I will and every time, :no:.

one of the problems with anchovies is people do not rinse them before use.
Cesar dressing has anchovy in it, as does Worcestershire sauce.

Depending on what you mean by "finer"....maybe early twenties when I could afford to eat better, or not at all if you mean disgusting stuff like anchovies! :biggrin2:

My mom was a terrible cook and my dad liked a few dishes done the same way every time, so ketchup was the most exciting item in my diet growing up. I liked liver and onions so much that I would order it when we went to restaurants.

I never learned to like coffee until I was in my 30's.

when it comes to food and restaurants you can never beat a mom and pop place.

Local ownership makes for the best food.

It's the extra lovin' that goes into every dish.

On the contrary! See my post in the overweight thread ... all my ex's gained weight while married to me, and I even had my own catering business for a few years.

My dad was a wise man. He sent me to visit my grandma's and aunts who were fantastic cooks, so they could teach me their recipes. I could make just about anything from scratch by the time I was 12.
