Perhaps I was a spoiled child. In any case, in middle age I’ve found I’m eating —and sometimes even enjoying — foods that used to repel me. I suppose outgrowing the taste for only fattening, sugary and yummy treats happens to a lot of us. It needs to if we still expect to be around in our 50s.
But I now manage to appreciate, or tolerate, some of those foods that I avoided earlier. The list includes mustard, salmon, kale, lamb, cauliflower, squash, carrots, red cabbage, tuna and broccoli. I still really can’t handle cucumbers, green peppers, beets, pickles or refried beans. Maybe when I’m 70.
