As you get older do you taste all of the ingredients in a dish more?

Lately when I cook or bake something I can taste individual ingredients more.

I made a pound cake and I taste the buttermilk more than usual and the sugar stands out more too.

I made fudge, and it’s delicious, everyone I gave it to raved, but for the first time I tasted the marshmallows and CC bits almost like I could have just eaten those things without all the work making the fudge. The difference is the texture.

It’s not just sweet things. It’s like the flavors don’t marry the same way they used to. I think it’s similar to when I was a child, although I don’t really remember it well, I think because I didn’t know the different ingredients as well when I was very young.
