I think flavor in general is very contextual. I routinely enjoy funky, fermented, strong-tasting foods that in a blind tasting with novice participants could probably be mistaken for garbage. As long as I have "culinary permission" to enjoy a food, it's unlikely that I'll find it disguisting, almost regardless of what the ingredients are!
- eliasbagley 10y agoI like your use of "culinary permission", as I'm the same say. If someone tells me a food is safe to eat, I'll give it a chance regardless of how strange it seems.
- joseph 10y agoYeah, and a nice presentation goes a long way towards removing the context you normally put around a particular food. If something looks appealing, you're more likely to try it, and then you discover flavors you never thought to combine.
