I’ve started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they’re a little slower paced.

    -Here’s the weirdest one: I used to hate the French language (too “mushy”!) and was super excited that my college offered German. I took THREE YEARS of German. Now I’ve forgotten it all, but I’m really into French and actually considering a French immersion program to get more conversational.

    -Also, I used to love loud & stimulating environments (metal shows, night clubs, etc.) while now I appreciate tranquility. Gimme a used bookstore or nature walk any day! I went to a drag brunch recently cause it seemed like the kind of thing I should like as a gay-ish Millennial woman. But it was SO not my thing … the lights, blaring music, close bodies, and cell phones documenting every second just ruined all the nice/chill things about brunch. And I can’t survive an actual concert without earplugs.

    -Food-wise, I hated seafood as a kid. Now I love it, including oysters and scallops and octopus and sushi/ceviche of any kind.

    I used to hate fresh tomatoes. Now I love it. I used to love really spicy hot stuff, but now it makes me sick if it’s too hot.

      I used to hate tomatoes too. Couldn’t figure out why my brother and mother would eat them all the time, they dipped them in salt even. At some point I started liking foods made with tomatoes like pizza and so on. The point at which tomatoes started making sense to my is when I worked out they were a fruit, so rather than waiting for a savoury taste I knew I was getting a slightly less sweet grape. And then I deduced from that you could have a grape and Camembert sandwich. If you haven’t tried this combo, you’re missing out.

        What do you have on it besides camembert and grapes? My favorites camembert sandwich is with mayo, Tabasco, smoked ham and olives. And the bread has to be super fresh, I’m already drooling!

    When you’re a kid you want the icing. When you’re an adult you want the cake.

    Smooth Jazz and 80s music. I had to work real hard to like vegetables. It’s an ongoing saga. But one day smooth jazz and 80s music just hit me, and woke something up deep in my spinal column. It’s purely nostalgia, and the initial delivery method was probably Spotify being very liberal with recommendations based on vaporwave and synthwave stuff. But synth and sax and all the stuff I used to find tacky and irritating as a child just made me feel at home. The word nostalgia gets abused these days but my sudden appreciation for the sounds of my childhood and the way they consistently make me feel like I’m nestled snug into the beige carpet of a Huber home, just existing without a care in the world…that’s some deep nostalgia. And it’s also nice to mentally congratulate myself on evolving to appreciate stuff I was too snobby or dense or whatever to like growing up.
