I read somewhere that your tastebuds change every seven years... I never liked peas when I was little. I like them now. I liked mushrooms when I was little but I hate them now. I'm sure there are others but those are the only two I can think of now.

Lots!
I find that I cook differently than my mom did, though. I tend to like vegetables a lot less cooked than she does.
I never realized until I was an adult that brussel sprouts are not supposed to be mushy grayish lumps!

Nope. I hate the same foods I hated as a kid--liver and eggs. I wasn't crazy about milk either, and I still have to have it extremely cold or with chocolate to kill the taste.

I think at times that when we are younger we tand to eat things are friend do and dislike what they think are nasty I use to hate liver of all kinds as well as spinich and cow tounge now I eat all of it and like tounge over a roast any day as we get older our views on foods change I think it is do to the fact that we understand what they do to our body and we start to make better choices I use to like smaores and hot chocolate those little packages you get at the store but now i lost my want for smares and I only drink hot cocoa the one made with real cocoa any that is just once in a while

Oh yes, plenty. I used to be a very picky eater and only ate bland boring foods as a kid like macaroni & cheese. Now I love Italian, Japanese, Indian, all sorts of food I couldn't stand when I was little.
