Are your taste buds alive !!!

[Doreensfree]

For me ..I'm really enjoying humous !!!....never bothered with it much as a smoker ,but now..it's up there as one of favourites ..

What's yours ????

[Boo]

Black olives and feta cheese.  I've also recently started eating and actually enjoying Brussels sprouts.

 

Good eatin'!

[Octain]

PFFT!!

 I don’t really notice a difference since I quit. However I do notice a heightened sense of smell. So it would only seem logical that food would taste better. One would think.

Right off the top my head I can’t think of a food that I don’t like. It’s not physically possible for food to taste better. 

 

Brussels sprouts sautéed to a light brown coating with butter and a little sugar are a wonderful complement to grilled pork chops and cowboy potatoes.

You know... when I quit smoking my taste buds never changed.  It was kind of disappointing.

[Martian5]

Pom juice mixed with tart cherry best tasting drink since I quit.  What get to me is that my taste has improved but now there are things that I do not like anymore since quitting.

[JB 883]

Brussel sprouts and olives. it does not get grosser than that.

 

My taste didn't really change since quitting but I CAN smell stuff now.

Cowboy potatoes:

Wash/scrub about three or four medium sized brown potatoes, cut into eights or tenths chunks. Do not peel potatoes. Just cover potato chunks in a medium/ large sauce pan with water and a couple tablespoons of salt.  Bring to a hard boil being careful not to over boil the pan. Let potatoes boil until over done, until almost all the water is gone.  Fold in about 3/4 cups of milk, a clove or two of crushed garlic and a couple tablespoons of butter(optional).   Salt to taste . Stir until desired chunkiness. Serves 2 to 3 people with a possibility of leftovers for one.

One of my favorite movies… 

 

I like malt vinegar and catsup on my spuds, chips, fries, taters whatever you want to call them.

 

As a matter fact, I’m making whooped taters with dinner tonight.

I would echo this exactly.

 

My dietary leanings are somewhat less sophisticated and a tad more unhealthy?

I also had no change whatsoever in taste but smell is more acute. I think I'm a "super taster". Have always been. Whatever I eat, I can usually identify every ingredient in it unless it's a cuisine that uses many ingredients I'm not too familiar with, like Chinese, Thai or Korean.  I love all food with the exception of peppers, especially bell peppers, guava and lychee nuts.

That guy looks like a REAL window licker AND has the table manners of a pig. Probably makes the same nasty slurping sounds as my dog when he eats.

Well thanks, there goes MY mood for some self-love.

Hey! Careful now

I'll assume you mean that in a good way?

[JB 883]

Yes reciprocity.

 

He looks to be eating alone. Why is he not attending a ballroom gathering? I imagine all those fancy people would love to see that.

[Reciprocity]

Doesn't everyone eat alone?

You should try that cereal Krave, the double chocolate kind.

it used to be better but somehow they screwed it up but still worth a try.

Brussell sprouts have been modified since I began smoking  30+ years ago they really used to be bitter but this bitterness has been  bred out of them  during the time I smoked  and they are sweet now. I never realised when I smoked but now they taste nice.

Hi and Welcome I'm afraid of Brussell Sprouts because I had bad experiences with them in the past - lol. I don't care for cabbage either which is another issue probably but yes. I can appreciate that they do modify various foods over time.

 

The good news is, all you brussell sprout eaters can have mine

I went years without even thinking about eating brussles sprouts, now I crave them.

 

A bit of olive oil, garlic, and some balsamic vinegar.  Roast 'em up and enjoy.
