Ask the Mountie

Is it true that ones tastebuds change every few years

Dear mountie, Is it true that ones tastebuds change every few years (I have been told 7) & that one may enjoy foods they previously did not because of it?

Perplexed

Dear Perplexed

That’s BOLONEY!
Your taste-buds doesn’t change, and even when you’re very old you are likely to have at least 70% of your taste-buds still in full working order.

What might change is your perception of food, and your ideas of what and what isn’t enjoyable. (prawn cocktail, anyone?)
