Changing taste buds

Posted on September 22, 2007 By Liquid Egg Product 3 Comments on Changing taste buds
Grilled Cheese

At work, normally I have milk and one or two types of juices stocked in our mini-refrigerator (everyone else favors soda, or maybe Gatorade). Unfortunately, I was already running late this morning, so couldn’t stop by the grocery store before work to pick up any drinks.

For lunch, I had a Kerrybane (ie, Philly cheesesteak–not a usual choice for me) and water, and really felt like a drink with taste, which would normally be covered by the juice supply. Of course, there was none left. Rummaging through the refrigerator presented the possible drinks:

  • Water (as if I didn’t have plenty of my own)
  • Coke
  • Diet Coke
  • Sprite
  • Sprite Zero
  • Diet Dr. Pepper
  • Someone else’s Gatorade
  • Ginger Ale
  • Root Beer

Ah! Root beer! I didn’t feel like soda, but root beer is one of my preferred carbonated beverages if there’s nothing else. The sound of the can opening, the liquid hitting the bottom of the glass, and the fizzy bubbles bumping against each other only increased the anticipation of consuming the rarely drunken carbonated beverage. As the rich brown liquid hit my taste buds, I realized something…

It didn’t taste that good. Even five years ago, it would have absolutely hit the spot. I’ve heard that taste buds change as you age…just another sign that I’m getting old.

    Hmmm. I dunno. I’ve liked the same foods all my life. Anything vinegary or tart or fried gets my attention. Cheeseteaks happen to be one of my favorite sources of sustenance. I think you got a bad can. Root beer rocks. Try the kind that comes in the glass bottles. To me, those arrrrrrrrr better. Oops. Sorry.

    You’re right about canned goods generally tasting worse (except for maybe soaked fish, like tuna and sardines).

    Is there a restaurant called Hops in your area? They actually brew their own beer and root beer. The root beer tastes a little different than usual (usually with a little licorice flavor), but it’s quite good. I’m not a big beer fan, but I usually go for their Alligator Ale, which is a heavy, dark beer.

    LOL. The pirate stuff has to wait under next year. Sorry. 🙁

    I’ve never heard of Hops…but yes, the root beer that’s in the bottles has the very licorice flavor that makes it so good.
