I think my taste buds are changing as I get older. People used to tell me that things will start to taste differently when you age, but I never thought at age 10 that I would someday like mint ice cream or think that coffee is actually yummy. (I've grown a deep love for Vietnamese iced coffee.)
When I was a in elementary school, I thought milk chocolate was the yummiest candy ever. I would look forward to class parties where I knew that there would be candy involved. Valentine's day would be full of milk chocolate shaped hearts, vanilla cupcakes, and brightly colored hard candies.
As I got older (possibly high school), I decided that I loved white chocolate the best. I thought it was incredibly sweet and delicious. This was also the time where I disliked mint ice cream, mushroom, and avocado (I KNOW! What the heck was I thinking?!).
I can no longer eat milk or white chocolate without thinking it's way too sweet. I can no longer eat an enormous pile of Halloween candy. Some candy are much to sweet for me, and I am deeply and profoundly in love with dark chocolate.
Mint ice cream is now among one of my favorite flavors. I like eating mushroom on a lot of things, and I ADORE avocado. I can eat avocado on almost everything (although avocado shake is way too much for me.).
I feel like I am an old lady now. I can't handle things that are to sweet, and I am always in need of a nap. I like to think I am just more sophisticated. :)
Hi Hang,
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on all you posts and enjoyed them very, very much. I see life is changing for you and you tastes... yes as we get older our tastes do change.. but you are soooo young just think of all the foods, sweets, and other things you yet have to experience. Keep writing and stay happy... Hugs
WHAT! THIS is why I'm always so confused about what you like and dislike!! It's because you're always changing your mind!! You know it's hard enough for me to remember things... you just had to go ahead and make things more complicated.. grumble grumble...
