Have you got a favourite mug?

I hate tea!

I hated tea for the whole of my childhood. When I refused it my grandmother kept putting more and more sugar in it. I am shuddering remembering the taste now. I only managed to start drinking tea in my mid 20s when I realised I was expected to do this when visiting clients at work. Even now if someone accidentally put sugar in my tea I couldn't drink it. Do you ever try tea to see if your tastes have changed? 

Hate the smell of tea as well!  Interestingly though I never used to drink coffee either until about 15 years ago. Similar to you,  realised I'd better start drinking tea or coffee to be like sociable and fit in with the NTs like,  thought coffee was the lesser of two evils.  Took me about two weeks to go from nor liking it to liking it,  then soon progressed to really really strong coffee!  Also started liking dark chocolate and cheese at the same time.  Never got there with tea though!  Nor broccoli.  Nor tomatoes.

mmmm christmas cake and cheese is awesome

How interesting - I didn't eat cheese at all as a child - found the taste revolting. When I was about 14 I accidentally ate some cheese and realised I liked it! Still can't eat xmas cake, xmas pudding or mince pies (broccoli and tomatos are fine). My daughter used to call broccoli 'tree' which was wonderfully descriptive!
