and with genetically modified food, added preservatives to everything, prescription drugs, illnesses, more experience in discerning quality--all things taste different as we age.
I don't have to actually cook them... i can replay some of my old favorite recipes in my head and then just shudder at the thought that I once considered them to be good food.
My first "signature" dish that I loved to cook for people was "enchiladas". As in "roll flour tortillas around seasoned refried beans and veggies, put in pan, cover in canned sauce, bake, add mexican blend cheese"
Now my enchiladas are like "handmade corn tortillas, homemade verde and red salsa to soak those tortillas in, queso fresco and so on"
I think about those early ones and how much I used to love them and I realize how far I have come.
I was talking to the clerk at the grocery store last week, telling her how I re-made some dishes I hadn't made in many years, with comments next to the dishes: Awesome, Make Again! So Very Tasty Or Delicious! And? Remaking them, not finding them that tasty, I wondered: Where were my taste buds when I cooked this "delicious" meal? And she told me: Our taste buds change every 7 years.
Anyone ever heard of that? And is it true for you, you re-make some scrumptious dish you made many years ago, and re-making it, you're disappointed?
I don't know if they ACTUALLY do, but I am going to say that I certainly HOPE they do - my fickle taste in stuff would be so much easier to explain if it had a scientific explanation versus that I'm just being "picky".

No the way things are made now compared to the 80s and earlier is basically crappy so if you loved something you last had in 1982,having it today,you will most lilely NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!!!!! (Unless you search around for alternative ingredients to make it like you remember it tasting then)

she may be right...I actually ate a vegetable this week and didn't hurl it back up
