"It's an aquired taste..."

[Kiju]

I've done it before with coffee. When I was like...twelve or so, I hated to drink coffee, but now I absolutely love the flavor of it.

 

[lokun489]

well everything is like that but odds you'll do it that much?

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

It doesn't usually happen with food but it has happened with a lot of my music. Also coffee... I used to think it was too bitter but I love it now(and I usually drink it black or almost black)

 

[ShrooM_DoughKiD]

when I woke up one morning about 3 years ago AC/DC suddenly kicked so much ass that the government has issued them a license to do so...

fuckin lol'd irl. but seriously though, i don't really like AC/DC.

I don't really know if i have an "acquired taste", i try not to indulge in things that i've disliked since i was a kid.

Used to love crabs and I hate them now. And I used to hate diet coke but now I'm addicted to aspartame and there are times I can't stand regular pops.

I'm addicted to coffee, but I hate the taste, so not sure where that comes in. Weird thing, too, because it doesn't wake me up... no idea why I like it...

I always took "acquired taste" as more of something that will taste better with a changed pallet, or if you simply keep eating it cos you have to. The latter of which explains how I came around to love both Tea and Coffee- compared to what I thought of them when I was younger

 

[Tharwen]

Alcohol, but that's kind of normal and I expect Im not the only one to say it so far.

Someone recently spewed this little cliche after I expressed my distaste for Greek olives, and for whatever reason it set me off. How exactly does waiting a few years to eat something you hate supposed to make you hate it less. Never in my life have I pulled a complete 180 and decided one day something I've always disliked was now a delicacy (with the exception of coffee, which completely fucks my argument.) Anyway, before this becomes a full blown rant about nothing, have you ever "acquired" a taste for something that never appealed to you. And if someone knows some science about maturing taste buds or some shit please enlighten me.

I don't think anyone has come right out and said it yet (I did check reasonably well!), so here it is:

Whisky! Nobody except the Scottish are born liking Whisky, definitely an acquired taste!

 

[scoHish]

I lover listening to Scandinavian Viking Folk Metal. That's an aquired taste. In fact, I didn't love it right away, but it 'grew on me' and now I adore that kind of music.

By any chance have you heard of Enslaved?

Bananas. Eating fruit makes me feel sick for some reason. I ended up eating a banana a day everytime I went to work and developed an appreciationg of them; and didn't feel sick all that much after a few months. I have it now though because I stopped.

I also had to train myself to eat green peas. It took some serious mental effort not to just spit them out or puke when I swallowed them.

I'm trying things a lot more now than I ever did as a child.

 

[Wolfboy0311]

Well I kinda hated beer untill recently when I tried it again, and it was actually very good.. Other than that I don't really know much about it.

 

[Doctor What]

I love fois grois, and goat cheese, but I can't stand tomatoes.

 

[aLivingPheonix]

I've never aquired a taste. Everything I like, I've liked all my life. Even Greek Olives.

Though, I'll probably aquire beer, when I hit that age.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I've trained myself to do it with mint. All my life I've hated mint but I started using mint toothpaste and while it was awful at first I've gotten used to it. Today, I even enjoyed some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

 

[9NineBreaker9]

Salt and Viniger chips


At first your like, blahhh, then your like, YEAH!

Haha, I am in the minority of someone who loves everything vinegar. Those were never a problem for me.

Your name woudn't be Marial Bag would it?

hehehe, I like salt and viniger

Good Sir, I love you for a Courage the Cowardly Dog reference.

OT: Coffee, energy drinks, and salmon were all once deemed indigestible... but now I love it.

Well, not entirely coffee. My "coffee" is more like a chocolate milk that just so happens to have coffee in it. xD

 

[KingGolem]

I used to be where I couldn't stand to drink Diet Coke. Then when my mother decided that I needed to stop drinking so much sugary soda and we switched to diet, I had to drink about six or seven of them before they became bearable. I still don't get what's so great about coffee, though. I don't think I can get used to something for which I must fight my gag reflex.

 

[Pariah87]

Beer are pretty obvious, no kid likes them, because they taste bitter.

I liked Beer as a kid :s Why was I drinking the occasional can of Stella Artois as a child is a completely different topic however. My brother on the other hand STILL hates beer, I weep for him.

Liver, Steak, strong cheese. As a child I hated all of them, now I love them. Ok loving Liver is an exageration, I can tolerate it at least now.
