Title: Do you still love the same foods you did as a kid?
Post by: MichelleHW101 on December 31, 2011, 01:30:16 pm
Ever since I was little I loved eating tunafish.  No one else in my family will go near the stuff.  I don’t remember the first time I had it but as far back as my earliest memories I ate tuna and even now into my mid-thirties I enjoy it as much as I did back then.  Same goes with raisins.  (Of course I don’t combine the two.)  When I was going to grade school my mother always packed a box of raisins in the lunch.  ‘Til today I still love to eat the stuff.

there are a few things that just remind me of my mom and I still enjoy much of it!  :) 
I am trying to prepare some of the same things or start the same with my kids so that they will have those things that are "childhood favorites" when they grow up

I used to love to eat that stovetop stuffing when I was little, but now I stay away from it. I also loved eating candy, and that has definitely not changed!

No. I used to like sushi when I was a kid but I don't like raw fish now. ???
I wonder if I had a bad experience or something...I don't remember why I started disliking them. :dontknow:

Yes and No

No to mushrooms, egg nog, overly sweet frostings, and bananas.

I don't know I used to eat oatmeal and now I can't stand it. I used to hate asparagus and now I LOVE it. So I guess some people's tastes change while others don't ?

As a kid I always loved broccoli, mashed potatoes and shortbread type deserts - as an adult, I still love them.

Not the same for pudding - loved it as a kid, but I think I must have "OD'ed" on it at some point as I really can't stand the stuff anymore.  Jell-O is okay, but pudding - blech!

i used to sneak pieces of cheese out of the fridge
when i was little, and now the thought of eating a single
piece of cheese by itself (i'm talking about regular american)
makes me sick to my stomach. unless its melted on something,
i won't go near cheese... like cubes or slices.

i loved hot dogs back then too, but not much of a fan
anymore. i have to be in the mood, and they have to be
a good brand.

I do.  I can't think of anything I liked then that I don't like now except maybe Cream of Wheat.

I still love almost all of the foods that I loved as a kid. I wish I could find some of my childhood favorites. One thing I remember was a pizza you made in the toaster. It was like 2 round pieces of bread with sauce and cheese in the middle, u popped it in the toaster to heat it was delish. my favorite childhood food that is still my favorite is fluff a nutter and peanut butter sandwiches.

Yes! I still love junk food (pizza, hot dogs, burgers, fries, icecream, chips, cookies, etc.). I wish I had been raised to eat fruit and veggies lol!

There are things I did eat as a kid, that I do not like now. These are raisins, peanut butter, and raw baloney.

Mostly yes. The only foods I can think of right now that I ate as a kid that I don't particularly like today are olives, and cream cheese.

As an adult now I don’t eat the same unhealthful processed food (especially how food was treated cruelly packed w/ preservatives, artificial flavorings etc.) which we were taught and raised to eat as a child.  :peace:

I have always loved candy and chinese food (well, American Chinese) :P
I like some foods now that I hated as a kid, like eggs, and tomatoes
I also stopped eating some things I liked as a kid like milk, and hot dogs

Yes, I still like the foods I ate as a kid. In fact now I eat foods that I didn't like back then.

The foods I loved as a kid tasted better then, but today a lot is missing and the taste of many foods are not the same, so I don't buy them.  They have robbed the foods out of such much needed flavor.

Post by: bigfoot951 on January 02, 2012, 07:04:55 am
I think most of us love a lot of the same foods that we loved as a kid and we also love some foods that we didn't back then.  Mainly I think it is because we have been around longer and we have tried things that we may not have tried as kids.

My favorite food since I was little was macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs and fried chicken. I still feel the same way now as I did then. I still love those foods, they are my favorite. Those foods hold every sweet memory of my childhood in them. I think they are happy foods. :) :) :)

Kinda. I used to despise apples, and now I can't go a day without them! But on the other hand, I've always loved mashed potatoes and peanut butter, and I don't think I could ever hate either of them.

Post by: CharmedPhoenix on January 02, 2012, 10:35:08 pm
If anything my tastes have expanded since I was a kid, but only because I've tried things my family didn't when I was young.  I always liked things like broccoli and spinach, but never cared for brussel sprouts.  I've tried them recently to see if that changed, but it hasn't.  I have cut out things for non-taste reasons.  Things like cow's milk, McDonald's, processed foods, etc..  Besides, I'm a better cook than my mom and can make things she'd never try so who needs processed when homemade is so much better.   :wave:

I still like some of the same things I did as a kid, but quite a bit has changed too.  I hated tacos as a kid,  now it is one of my favorite foods.  I remember liking a piece of bread, smeared with butter, then covered with sugar.  Now that sounds really gross to me.

I still like macaroni and cheese but it's not as good as my mom's was.

Pretty much. My Dad had a huge vegetable garden with all kinds of common and not-so-common vegetables so we grew up eating the best. I still like fresh over highly processed and god knows what else has been done to our food supply. I have expanded my palate though and enjoy Indian, Thai and other cuisines now too.

I have a few different types of foods that I ate when I was a little one! Now these days I still eat them!  :thumbsup:

Some of them but so many just don't taste the same anymore with companies changing ingredients that there are a lot I don't eat anymore.

As a child I was exposed to a wide variety of foods and developed a broad range of tastes early. All of those foods have stayed with me. As an adult, of course, I have experienced an even broader range and have found more to include in my repertoire of choices. The one thing I did not eat as a child that I do eat now is winter squash. Summer squash is still not something I enjoy and so don't include in my menu planning, but love Winter Squash and will eat it as often as possible.

There are some foods that I've always loved and will probably always enjoy eating. My dad swears that I loved some foods when I was younger that I hate now but I think I didn't like them then and just had no choice but to eat it

Yes, I still love the same foods, spaghetti, meatloaf, fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy. :o

Post by: lvstephanie on January 13, 2012, 07:24:31 am
I still like all of the food that I did when I was a kid. But my palette has changed to include spicier foods that as a kid were too hot for me. But there are still some food dislikes that I still don't really like to eat: pickles, mustard, raw olives (yeah, I just pass over that relish tray). Also some things that I liked as a kid aren't good for me, so although I still enjoy the flavor, I tend to stay away from it; this goes for most any sweet items, carb-loaded foods (like "pasgetti and meat bulbs"), and real fatty foods.

I love everything that I did as a kid.  My favorite is homemade mac and cheese with applesauce.  I used to eat everything with applesauce when I was little especially vegetables because I HATED them.  I love vegetables now and can eat them without the applesauce...my mom would be so proud!!!

There are some things that I still like as I did when I was a kid but I was kinda a picky eater.  I never really ate salads or many vegetables at all.  Now I love salads and veggies.  I find myself eating things that I would not have eaten as a kid.

I would love to eat the same foods I did as a teenager, but alas, when you get older your system changes and says "no" to alot of things.

Post by: ShadeTree on February 02, 2012, 05:03:57 pm
Yeah pretty much. Now that I've gotten older there are new foods that I like to have that I didn't when I was a kid. The only thing I can think of right now I used to eat when I was in my early to mid teens that I don't like now was eating ranch dressing with a lot of stuff. I don't even really like ranch dressing all that much now.

pretty much except I don't eat beef or pork anymore. I use to hate vegetables as a kid now I love them. I still LOVE pizza, barbeque chicken wings, pastas, pancakes etc..
