Your Acquired Tastes

What things ~ food and drink [or even beyond] ~ do you like that you think vast swathes of your fellow humans will never like? And what things do people around you consume that you cannot seem to acquire a taste for?

interesting thought, but, i cain't think of anything i like that most folks wouldn't like...
rattlesnake maybe...
i prolly wouldn't eat a rat on a stick...
depends on the spice...

I refuse to eat any form of shellfish - prawns, lobsters, calamari, oysters and all the rest, although I enjoy fish. It's not just the taste, it's that rubbery texture I can't stand.

I like to snack on raw caulflower, too. Nothing added. I NEVER add salt to anything.

Disgustification of the highest order

coffee of course (weak preferably 🙂 )

Snails, definitely. I got chills down my spine the first time, then warmed up
to it. Ended never turning down the chance of having garlic butter snails, but
mostly when I am in Bordeaux and in a particular restaurant I'm quite fond of.

Scotch on "a" rock, for the first question and any "jellied" meat for the latter.

A fruit called durian, aside from rare occasions when I've had a 'light' and 'mild' variety [in South Sumatera, for example], has a taste that I think I'm never going to acquire a liking for. I once had to eat a durian [something I would never do voluntarily] in front of live TV cameras in the company of the mayor of a large city. Thank goodness it happened in South Sumatera.
