The Palate Adjusts

[poliphilo]

 I used to make a mean cheese sauce. Lots of mustard, lots of pepper. Dishes involving cheese sauce were my favourites.

Then I became a vegan and that involved giving up dairy. It was a wrench.

But my palate has adjusted. Now once in a while- especially if we're dining out- I find myself eating something containing milk, butter or cheese- and it always comes as a horrid shock. Dairy tastes sour and rank to me now. I ordered macaroni cheese at the weekend and wished I hadn't....

Vegan cheeses do appear to be improving rapidly.

They are- but I'm no longer craving cheese the way I once did.
