Watermelon.
Seedless is kind of dull tasting.
Hard to find the old fashioned seed kind.

The two that come, immediately, to mind are Mother Nature's own ... corn, and asparagus. Corn is, now, so sweet that I have stopped buying it. The British chef, Jamie Oliver, said that it is being purposely cultivated with extra sugars, but I don't know if that's the case. Asparagus seems to have become rather lacking in flavor. I suppose that a number of things can come into the equation (including the possibility that my taste buds are getting older  ). |

Asking-because both have been recalled a couple of times I had a box of each just a coupla months ago. Since they started using high-fructose corn syrup in place of real sugar the taste has gone to hell!

Since they started using high-fructose corn syrup in place of real sugar the taste has gone to hell! Ah, Socks, that makes me nostalgic for the good-old-days, when I would rant on about HFCS. Thanks for the memory. But, I digress ... Who knows what chemical changes various prepared foods have undergone, over the decades? But, there are also physical changes in the make-up some products. When I was little, I loved Van Camp's "Pork 'n Beans." The sauce was flavorful, and the pieces of pork were balanced with the beans, both in size and quantity. A few years ago, I bought some "for old time's sake." There was no flavor, and the pork portions were almost non-existent. The ones that were there, were about half the size of a standard eraser, at the end of a pencil ... about as tasty, too.

Store bought tomatoes have next to no flavor, but home grown are still good.

Hormel chili that is sold today. I actually called an 800 number I found on the can, and actually talked to a real live person...to my amazement. I asked this person about the drastic change in texture and flavor, and the rep replied that Hormel had taken 90% of the fat out of the product. I protested that both versions should be available, but his request fell on deaf ears. Hormel lost me as a customer.
Watermelon is only sweet when it is in season. Most of what is sold year round is tasteless crap.
And I don't understand why I no longer can buy Puffed Wheat cereal in my neck of the woods (US Midwest)

Gogurt. When I was a kid I thought it was amazing, then I bought it again recently and it just tasted like regular yogurt...but in a tube.
I don't go apesh*t about Lunchables anymore, either.

The pizza at pizzeria restaurants of the 70s and 80s IS WAY BETTER than it IS today OR has been since the 90s. MOST things have been steadily going downhill since the end of the 80s, beginning of the 90s including film, music and food.

When I was a kid I loved cucumbers, I'd pick them in the garden peal them then slice them down from the top, salt and pepper them and eat then down like a Popsicle. I absolutely hate them now. I loved raw rhubarb, I still like rhubarb but now I want it cooked.

Bologna! I wouldn't eat it on a dare now, but fried bologna and plain old boiled potatoes was a bit too common for dinner at my house.  |
