I would like to find the "jaffa" bisciuts from my youth - they were choc wth orange flavour on a thin wafer. delicious. cant find them anymore....
evidently taste buds develop the more you exercise them, NOT deteriorate. I dont care though - I wont be eating bleached cows stomach no matter how good they say it tastes....

Why is it so hard to believe that your sense of taste could decline in the same way that your hearing and eyesight can? I reckon taste is a decidedly dodgey sense to rely on, given how easy it is to stuff it up by cleaning your teeth before drinking red wine or eating chillies before icecream.

I used to hate the smell of those 'big city' 'flash murray' coffee shops with all the gourmet cheese & sheyet but now I can't walk past one without stopping.
Curry is another 'aquired' sensation that I now enjoy but hated as a kid.
What happened to those big, round 'Choclate Digestive' biscuits one used to get, individually wrapped in foil - blue for milk choclate and red for dark?
There is a pale imitation available in packets of about 18, but they're a poor copy. In the search for ever lower production costs, did the manufacturer slowly immasculate his product to the insipid, ghost of glories past?
Is nothing sacred?

I agree with Cliff. When I was a kid I couldn't stand coffee, red wine, strong cheese, onions, olives and a rack of other food and drink that I relish these days.
For a decent size Wagon wheel, go to the Bakery on the Southern side of The Princes' Hwy at Berry, NSW. 4" diameter!!!!
True, years ago I couldnt stand the taste of pussy cat but now?? :rolleyes: :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
Meowwwww. :eek:
Dont worry Wongo, I dont live anywhere near you so your supply is safe.
Al :D
I agree, I do, and always have, loved all varieties of cheese. I was introduced to cheeses when we moved into a "multicultural suburb " when I was about 14.Quote:

Tassie Triple Brie or a White Costello. ;)
Hearing changes can also be 'aquired' or 'developed'....
take for instance domestic deafness. :rolleyes:
