I also use olive oil for mpst other cooking, sesame oil for stir fries, flax oil for salad dressings and butter for my croissants/toast/etc No fat is bad for you, as is low fat... And that is what I stick to
Rosehip Jun 2021 8:08pm, 14 Jun 2021 21,433 posts	0 Rosehip I really dislike any form of coconut apart from the flesh straight from the shell, I also hate dates, bananas and cinnamon. There is no point me even looking in so-called healthy cookbooks or buying so-called "healthy, natural" bars.
UltraDunc Jun 2021 11:21pm, 14 Jun 2021 12,788 posts	0 UltraDunc I , on the other hand like coconut, banana and cinnamon flavours. Which had me thinking when do we seem to assign certain flavours to like or dislike? Or indeed can they change over time?
Rosehip Jun 2021 11:27pm, 14 Jun 2021 21,434 posts	0 Rosehip - I've never liked cinnamon or desecrated coconut and apart from a thai curry where coconut milk belongs and tastes right I'm getting less tolerant of it. I used to like bananas until pregnant with eldest (he's nearly 28) and since then I can't eat them and the smell of overripe nanas makes me feel sick.
Fenland Flier Jun 2021 12:41am, 15 Jun 2021 2,821 posts	0 Fenland Flier I never used to like coconut but I eat it in my cereal, it's dried and flaked. I also now eat bounties which I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. A few years ago I started eating mushrooms which I wouldn't even try and the same with peppers. Tastes definitely change as you get older.
Mandymoo Jun 2021 1:05am, 15 Jun 2021 12,004 posts	0 Mandymoo Love coconut in any form. Have always disliked celery but had some yesterday and it wasn't as horrid as I remembered, also had some blue cheese and that was much nicer than when I last tasted it. Was the same with Olives, couldn't stand them for years but now love them
Grumpypants Jun 2021 4:58am, 15 Jun 2021 1,353 posts	0 Grumpypants Coconut always seems 'dry' to me. Don't like it at all. Can't comment on the taste of the milk as I never drink milk of any type.

GregP Jun 2021 7:03am, 15 Jun 2021 127,253 posts	0 GregP Like it very much in bubble bath and suntan lotion. Dislike it in curry. Largely neutral otherwise. Agree with GP’s ‘dry’ comment though.
