At the moment, in the UK, there is a rerun of a program called A Taste of my Life which is presented by Nigel Slater – a very good cook with some great traditional cookbooks.
The show, for those who haven’t seen it, involves Nigel and a celebrity guest, where he chats to them about growing up, their life and how it all revolves around food and their tastes. He takes them back to their childhood and cooks up the foods they used to eat, right through to recipes the celebrity may enjoy cooking or created themselves, and finishes with the celebrity’s chosen 3 course meal. It’s so different to your standard cookery program as it’s more of an informal chat between two people (most likely good friends) about food.
I have to admit, there are certain foods I thought were great as a child and now wonder where my taste buds were all that time! The best foods I still cook now, however I’ve not baked a cake in years (the first thing I was taught to cook).
Anyhow, great program, worth watching if you can.
I totally know what you mean about hating things now that I used to love. An odd one for me though is Wheatabix, not sure why I don’t like em anymore.
P.s
just started updating the look of eatingbritain and should be posting again regularly as of now. Been a bit quiet since jan, what with the fan club etc. LOL
See ya!

Hey Dave, long time no see
I eat Weetabix daily, taste nice with a little fruit sugar and whole milk! I can remember when I was younger I would eat McCains cheese and tomato oven pizzas, and also microwavable chips. The chips were purely because I could cook them quickly I guess, but the pizzas, well at the time I used to eat them every friday, god knows why or how as these days I can’t even find a decent pizza anywhere and the thought of one out of a pack of 10 makes my stomach turn!!
