I find my taste buds are enjoying fresh fruits more and more and they taste better now than I can remember as a kid. I haven't used extra salt on anything in at least 30 years. I do eat almost everything that is served hot with at least 100,000 heat unit cayenne powder that I get from an herb store. If you need a reference, when you dry and powder jalapenos they are only about 5,000 heat units, so they don't really do anything for me and I agree with Silk hot spicy Cajun foods are great for the taste buds right now. Want some good books to read? Try Bob Morris, his hero is an ex-Miami Dolphin who live in the Keys and owns a Palm tree farm. Great, funny and well worth the reading. sort of like Robert Parker's Spenser only where it is warm. Have a great day!!!!!

I know my sense of taste is not as refined as it used to be. I take medication which gives me dry mouth and i think that has some effect. I find my self using more salt to get things to have more flavor. I still like to try new foods and as I tell the kids. One bite won't hurt you. If you don't like it just spit it out and if you do like it then you have a new food to enjoy for the rest of you life.

I never ever loose taste for food of any kind! I love it too much but, during the last ten years with my Partner I have been introduced to, and love, of course, Pheasant, Duck,and Venison. I always loved prawns and cockles but now rate Mussells, Scallops and Lobster among my favourites.
I would probably never have tried these things if it weren't for him.

It is VERY depressing. I was blaming it on medications but I have since read your taste buds lose their effectiveness as you get older. I still like my salt, too, but i find there are SO many things I used to like that I no longer like. And I jsut don't like to try new stuff like I used to. Sniff. I am 60.

I've never been much of a salt user and for the past 10 years or so I find I stay away from red sauces, spaghetti, pizza, etc...don't like hard candy much either, but am becoming a connoisseur of cheeses and wines, who'd have thought that?

I no longer like Pizza. I have learned to love avocados, tomatoes, and so many things my mother used to make that I turned my nose up at. I even like liver and onions once in a while. I don't eat as many sweets, but I still like them. Our tastes do change over time.

I still have a good appetite, and have the same tastes apart from sweet foods, cravings are new bread and butter with boiled eggs, soft boiled. Pass the salt please. Thankyou.

Don't use salt or pepper or sugar and can't eat any spicy foods. Some things I can't eat because of medical reasons.

Lost the taste for sweets. Candy bars, cookies, cakes, pies etc. I'm on a green veggie kick.
