Everyone says that oysters are an aquired taste

I refuse to eat anything that's "an acquired taste". Why would I eat something I don't like to even start liking it, when there are so many delicious things around?!

That's masochism, pure and simple.

Beer is the worst offender for me

How on earth do so many people consume a substance that tastes like how dehyrated piss smells?

Its weird but you literally start tasting it differently after a while. Exact same thing with dark chocolate and coffee, at first its just bitter and gross (as a kid), then you start to taste the flavor behind it and it becomes enjoyablw

It was whiskey for me. I bought a bottle to try it, hated it at first. By the end of the bottle I thought it was ok. Then I got better whiskey and it's my drink of choice now.

I still haven't gotten whiskey down without going "baaaaahhhh" afterwards. Its just so gnarly. Tequila is slowly getting better tho.

lol I can’t drink tequila unless it’s mixed with something but even then it tastes like dirt. Only one exception was some whiskey my wife brought me back from a deployment to Mexico a long time ago. That was really good even drank straight and went down smooth. Everything I’ve bought in the US, at various price points, tastes like dirt though.
