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.

        Also adult, also want icing, also wish I could still do it in the quantities I like without guilt and consequences.

        Child me didn’t know how good they had it.

      I want good icing, not that awful shortening-based shit you get on most commercial cakes. And to be honest, I mostly only want good cake too (ie, homemade or from a bougie bakery).

      I was that weird girl who never wanted icing. I’d always scrape it off and just eat the cake

      Fat > sugar, IMO

      I was never interested in frosting, but then I met buttercream frosting, cream cheese frosting, and the like. When used sparingly, without overwhelming the cake/cupcake, it’s divine :D

    I hated music without lyrics.

    Now most of the music I prefer has no vocalist, or is extremely limited.

      I was browsing random stuff on Spotify the other day and found some really relaxing music. Just the best music to listen to while chugging along at work. Eventually I looked at the album name… It was literally waiting room/elevator music.

        You should check out brain.fm The whole site is basically non vocal. Music, but it’s engineered to get you to focus. When I first saw it, I assumed it was just some gimmicky way to advertise, but I swear it actually helps me to focus better. But yeah. Sounds like you’d enjoy the music they provide.

      Vaporwave, synthwave, outrun. That kind of stuff. Almost all without vocals.

      Vaporwave can have people speaking but it’s almost always short or garbled speaking.

      I just need the music to occupy a part of my brain so I can think.

      I still can’t do high-percent dark chocolate. It tastes good for a split second and it’s then like every bit of moisture in my mouth, perhaps the whole room, is just sucked dry.

      Have always loved dark chocolate. As I got older I liked the darker stuff more. 85-90%. (Fyi 100% is no good. Lol.) Milk chocolate has always been a no for me. Best I can do is tolerate it if the flavor is mostly masked by whatever it is encasing.

    Used to not like coffee. Then I started to love the taste because I associated it with caffeine. Now I get too jittery so I drink decaf. Life is ironic.

      I went from basically a home made milkshake called coffee in the morning to 100% black, can’t stand a grain of sugar or drop of milk/creamer in my coffee.

      Also think I became a coffee snob too :(

    Guacamole was disgusting to me as a kid; not for the taste but for the texture and appearance. How can adults really want to eat lumpy green slime? This is almost as gross as smoking cigarettes!

    Well, smoking cigarettes is still disgusting, but guacamole is awesome.

      I hated avocado because all I’d had was guacamole, it was sour nonsense and I didn’t like the look of them and also thought a fattening vegetable was an awful thing (anorexic teen). But once I actually tried an avocado, not guacamole, I was hooked. Ate them all summer when I was 20 and didn’t gain a pound, LOL. Now I do also like fresh guacamole but still won’t eat the processed crap.

    I loved booze as a young adult. I didn’t quit drinking for some noble reason, I just didn’t like it anymore. And cold cookies, as in put that girl scout cookie into the fridge until it gets nice and cold, then eat it. Who knew…

    Also, switched from liking rap music to preferring extreme metal, like grindcore or tech death metal.

    Spicy foods! When I was younger, birds eye chilli in my meal would spoil my meal as a teenager, and I grew up in a spice loving family. Nowadays I love the kick that chill adds to foods, and I’ve even dared tiny bites of a Carolina Reaper (and have survived to tell this tale).

    Gaming wise, I don’t prefer FPS games to my old standbys of strategy and turn based RPG games, but I actually find some enjoyment in playing them now, even though objectively my reaction time is worse. I just accept I’m a mediocre player, haha.

    When it comes to books, I crave reading more sci-fi and fantasy books. I don’t avoid ‘heavy’ topics in these genres, but I don’t find contemporary literature appealing and prefer a bit of escapism. Maybe I’m just looking at the wrong book recommendations.

      I used to avoid spicy food too. I couldn’t handle all of the heat.

      Then I came down with COVID, recovered, and later went out to a restaurant called Dave’s Hot Chicken with my brother and some friends. We got their Carolina Reaper chicken and I was hooked. Before I knew it I was making my own Carolina Reaper hot sauce and loving the burn.

      I’m not sure if it’s due to the COVID or just changes in my preferences but the timing sure was coincidental.

      On the FPS front, I used to love playing games like Call of Duty and I was pretty good at them, then I moved to slightly slower paced shooters like Battlefield, and now I don’t play much FPS games at all.

      These days I’m more a fan of slower paced games that make you think a bit. I really enjoyed Factorio and also had a lot of fun with Stormworks. Making microcontrollers and getting to write my own Lua code to power my vehicles is a hell of a lot of fun.

        It’s not my favorite, but if it’s well done, grilled chicken Caesar salad is super yummy and also healthy. But the dressing and parm chz has to be quite good, and the chicken almost as good.

        Salads can be made tasty and when paired with the right cheeses, nuts and proteins, they’re healthy, filling, and downright heavenly.

    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.

      This exact combo of genres hit me like a truck within the past two months or so. I used to not care much for Jazz at all and now it’s been nothing but jazz and 80s inspired synth/vapor wave. I think it probably is for similar reasons. Hearing certain combinations of synth or certain jazzy combos really transports me back in time to specific eras of my child and young adulthood.
