   ❌ I don’t mind eating greasy food with my fingers, but hate rubbing butter into flour so I don’t make pastry. I abhor grisly good in my mouth. High pitched noises & bass sound effects. Flashing lights. Overheated rooms, shops etc. Crappy loud music in shops or anywhere.

   ✅ Lots of different natural flavours & scents, flowers, nature more generally be it arid, rainforest or sea, smoochy cats, children’s laughter…

     Oh! I thought it was just me. For some reason, when I got to my mid-30s, my taste was no longer sensitive like it used to. I tested it too, ate the stuff I really detest before and it was "fine". But my memories of why I hated certain food and tastes were still strong.

     Today, I think my taste is hypo? Some food tastes bland to me. And when I cook, people complain it's too salty but it's always just right for me. 😅😅

     I even stopped caring if the food is tasteless. It's like, "brain, it's food, we need to eat". But the NTs around me are the usual.

     Reading that actually made me queasy.

     It can be overcome, though. Now I eat damn near anything. Except rhubarb (yuck) and octopus (too smart).

     We ate a lot of cheap cuts of meat when I was a kid. I didn’t mind slightly tough, but when a big streak of gristle ran through it & wasn’t slow cooked long enough…

     I had a hard time with uhhh multi textured food. Like steak--I wanted hot dogs as a kid. That was the only time I ever got catered to like that. I did eventually figure out I was getting a raw deal.

     It took me until I was thirty years old to not skeeve at chicken wings.

     I'm just adding some data to your query.
