Having reached my 40s, and considering myself really quite open-minded about food and drink, Ive been thinking about how little my tastes have changed in adulthood, yet how drastically they were altered in the space of a few years - probably from 14-17 or so.
Happily, there seem to be far more things that I've 'grown into' than those with which I've fallen out of love.
