Lol, I got concussed once when I lived in England. My then girlfriend now wife rang my phone as I had gone radio silent. I answered it in hospital while my brains were still scrambled and apparently all I could talk about were how they gave me sandwiches and how good they were.

I was once in a similar state about airline food, an extreme lack of sleep was my concussion.

When I still ate meat, I loved liver and onion. I liked it better than pretty much and "real" meat.

As many parts of the animal should be eaten as possible. Like it's silly when people don't like kidney or liver or whatever. Unless you are a pissy cry baby.

I couldn't stand blue cheese when I was younger, I love it now. I hate beer actually, but even if you acquire a taste like that, it's still not a choice directly to just like it, it's a pressure you or someone else put on you over a long period of time I obviously like tons more things than I did when I was a kid but not just because I decided to like them, and almost never because I suffered through something until I did*. Taste preferences change over time for many reasons, most of which are not fully understood and you're just telling yourself a story about it where you did something to earn it *I did this with switching to skim milk decades ago which I now prefer but I also don't drink milk much anyway

My biggest experiment along those lines was trying to cut down my caffeine consumption by quitting coffee for a month, and trying to learn to like tea by trying some version of it every day. Nope, didn't work, I honestly wanted it to but I still just hate tea.

I think the issue is there's many different reasons people like or dislike foods and flavour is only one small aspect of that. Texture, appearance, smell, cultural bias etc all contribute, so even if someone just says they don't like the taste it could be one of many reasons, and it is absolutely possible to get over many of those. Blue cheese was just one example but I grew up vegetarian because of my family and then started eating meat in my twenties, and a lot of it revulsed me at first. Tuna tasted like I imagined cat food would because that was my only exposure to it before, a lot of seafood and shellfish was intimating to me because of the visceral nature of it, etc etc. I could have very easily stopped after trying those things once or twice and said I didn't like the taste but I kept coming back to them and learned to enjoy them. I'm not saying thats possible with everyone and every food - I've tried liver a bunch of ways and preparations and it just doesn't do it for me - but it's definitely possible, and a lot of our 'flavour' preferences are more to do with exposure, upbringing and what our society considers normal.

Nope, didn't work, I honestly wanted it to but I still just hate tea. I did the reverse with coffee. Hated it, thought it was bitter and awful, worked in a coffee shop as a barista where my boss made me drink any coffee I hosed up, learned to love it.

I like to re-try foods every once in a while to see if my tastes changed, I've picked up some things I hated as a kid. There are other things I still hate, and that's okay. As long as you're not being weird and living a Tendies Only lifestyle it's fine to have foods you don't like.

This is also a good point - people who had poo poo upbringings only eating junk food and white bread etc will absolutely tell you that all vegetables taste horrible, but they can teach themselves to like them.

Acclimating to something is different than just choosing to change your properties. This is not a complex or confusing claim. Nobody said you can't "learn to like" or acquire some tastes, sometimes. But why would you want to, generally speaking? Unless you're a nuggies only person you can probably get ample nutrition a million ways without torturing yourself eating poo poo you hate. But everyone I know also just started liking poo poo at some point, with no forcing. Brains are weird

As long as you're not being weird and living a Tendies Only lifestyle it's fine to have foods you don't like. Sometimes you also just get unlucky tasting something for the first time. You might have had someone who didn't know how to cook it properly, or you might, yourself, not really have had it figured out. Case in point: I spent like 20 years thinking I hated potatoes because so many people in my family are terrible in a kitchen.

Because there's so many interesting things out there they I haven't experienced yet and if some people like them then there must be some value in them. And like I said I was vegetarian so there were a huge chunk of things I'd never eaten or cooked but was interested to try, even if it meant powering through some poo poo that was unpleasant at first. And I've spent a lot of time travelling and living in countries where it's rude to refuse food or drink you're offered so it's better just to learn to like it.

Some people like putting nails in their dick, that doesn't mean everyone else should give it a try once. For less hyperboly: it's loving food. Who cares if someone doesn't want to chow down directly on organ meat? It's not a drat character to have food preferences. You don't magically become a better person because you'll taste literally anything someone puts on a plate for you. This kind of conversation comes up like once a year in this thread. People are allowed to have preferences. Get over yourself.

I definitely think people should try all the things and I don't have any issue with people suffering through garbage they don't like if they choose to It's just exhausting seeing people who like most things acting like they're morally superior to people who don't, rather than just lucky. Nobody WANTS to be picky I'm not a particularly picky eater myself but there are things I don't like and I'm certainly not going to repeatedly ruin my meals by adding those things on the chance I may genuinely like them someday. I can obviously eat them if it would be rude not to, but that's a pretty rare occurrence in most people's lives I think
