Spectator by Seema Goswami: The second helping

As people age, their food preferences often regress to childhood tastes, according to Seema Goswami.

Goswami grew up in a strictly vegetarian household and did not feel deprived as a child.

After meeting her husband, a foodie, she gradually began eating non-vegetarian food, starting with fish and chips.

She eventually enjoyed a wide variety of non-vegetarian dishes, except lamb and game due to their strong smell.

In older age, she finds her appetite for non-vegetarian food decreasing, partly due to her body's rebellion.
