Yuck - how our tastes change

Just done my weekly shop and was perusing the preserves aisle.  Now when I was younger I just loved this stuff.  I would have it day in, day out.  Now just to look at it makes me gag!!  And the smell - urgg.  I loved lemon curd sandwiches - not quite as posh as this one.  Boy, is it so sickly now.
And of course, not forgetting the good old paste sandwiches - so many different flavours - were they real or just artificial tastes.  I don't actually know.

Over the years our tastes 'mature' I guess and I could not even bring myself to buy this stuff.  I have moved on - nothing like a nice brie, wild rocket and cranberrry panini now.  How posh am I?

  1. There is one thing that I have never lost the taste for and that's salad cream. Spread over bread and butter or even poured onto a plate and eaten. It may sound strange but I look at it as comfort food. It's like making butter cream for a cupcake and then scraping it out of the bowl and eating ~ yum :D I just cant help myself :) That panini looks wonderful xx

  3. Hehe.... yes, I was a fan of sandwich spread - I may still be, haven't tried it in years.
    My guilty pleasure had to be peanut butter. Mind you, I'd be doing my butt a favour if I could 'dislike' it.......lol.

  4. Oooo use to love sandwich spread!!! The worst thing I ever tasted was vegetable salad out of a tin at my Grans house in the 50's, it was the cold peas that did it, yuck!!
    My guilty pleasure is also peanut butter with orange marmalade [heaven] or with cucumber or raisins!!!
    But love lemon curd, have some in the fridge now!!

  5. Don't like sandwich spread but love lemon curd on fresh bread out of the breadmaker its my lunch of choice, still occasionaly eat spread pastes too but only really salomon paste and occasionaly buy potted meat out of the chiller in the supermarket which was what I always had on school trips for my sandwiches.
