Are you saying that you went from the "hate liquorice" to the "like liquorice" camp? At what age? I literally don't know of anyone who has "acquired" the taste

Are you saying that you went from the "hate liquorice" to the "like liquorice" camp? At what age? I literally don't know of anyone who has "acquired" the taste for liquorice via exposure.
It's really nothing like "aging into" the preference for coffee, beer, whiskey or wine. It's more like the preference for coriander / cilantro, which is genetic.
I appreciate that your experience of liquorice is different to mine, but I ask you to stop explaining my experience of liquorice to me.
- verst 6y agoI don't think anyone is explaining your experience. You always hated it and still do. No big deal. However you seem to reject the idea people can go from disliking it to liking it, which isn't the case. Nobody claimed you can force yourself to enjoy it :)
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y ago> you seem to reject the idea people can go from disliking it to liking it, which isn't the case I'm saying that I have never seen this happen when the person has the "liquorice averse" reaction, which is not simple a regular food preference or toddler with unfamiliar food thing. And so I am very sceptical. You say it "isn't the case" but ... nothing more. Ok, that does not convince me.
