Vegetables. I love eating greens now compared to when I was a kid. The more mixed with other vegetables, the more I would like it. I don't know why though.

I was the same way, the funny thing is though that I still do not like to eat any of the fruits and vegetables I was forced to eat as a kid. The standard "You're not leaving the table until you eat that" stuff in my family was corn (canned, creamed or on the cob), peas, lettuce, cantaloupe, broccoli and cauliflower. I eat none of these unless I absolutely have to. I'm just so absolutely conditioned to hate them I guess.
But now I love spinach, cucumber, eggplant, asparagus, peppers, mushrooms, squashes, and exotic vegetables too - I guess because I waited till I was an adult to have them.

Can't find the article(s) that I've read regarding change of taste while ageing, but found this. According to it, it's because of supertasters and synesthetes affecting sweet and bitter food by amplifying it, making children to like the former and dislike the latter. Not certain if it's true as I haven't checked its sources.

Same here. It's weird because now I'll even crave vegetables. If there aren't enough on my plate I'll want a side salad.
