Description

Have you ever avoided a type of food for a long time, assuming you hated it, only to try it out and then end up having something of a revelation?


Think back to when you were a kid and there was a type of vegetable you simply wouldn’t go near, let alone eat. The chances are there’s at least one. It might have been broccoli, Brussels sprouts or spinach for example.


Why does that happen then? What actually determines whether we like a food or don’t? Why does our perception of taste change over time then? Is it really possible to dislike a food at one stage of life and enjoy it later on?
In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
