Is there any scientific basis on "taste creep?" Example: you've eaten lots of good food and now average food that you used to enjoy grosses you out. (lemmy.world)

Related: spicy foods. I used to be basically intolerant of it but now hate eating non-spicy versions of foods I've grown accustomed to. Spicy peppers and hot chili powder have become a crutch for my otherwise mediocre cooking skills.

I developed a neurological condition which caused me to have a significantly lower tolerance to spicy foods suddenly. So sad.

Same. I came from a place where virtually all kind of food is spicy. When I was abroad, I'd put chilli flakes on non-spicy food.
