Don't be so sure, it may start with catsup, but that's a gateway aversion, before you know it will be mustard, and then.. cheeze whiz, relish, it can become a real monkey on your back..You're going in the opposite direction, generally as people age their tastebuds become less sensitive, and they have a tendency toward using too much salt and sugar.. Likely something you already knew
It could be hormonal, (of course this is just..
me blathering) I was thinking of the way hormones
affect your tastebuds in pregnancy.I've had that happen to me, with smells as well as taste
but it always turns out that I'd had a slightly blocked nose for months due to allergies,and I could suddenly smell properly. It's kind of embarrassing, the first time it happened I could suddenly smell the
garbage in the kitchen and it was rank
I was mortified.
