Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I have scribbled in this section of my blog.
Today, I want to share my thoughts on acquired taste.
According to Wiki,
"An acquired taste often refers to an appreciation for a food or beverage that is unlikely to be enjoyed by a person who has not had substantial exposure to it, usually because of some unfamiliar aspect of the food or beverage, including a strong or strange odor (e.g. stinky tofu, durian, kimchi, haggis, hákarl, black salt, stinking toe, asafoetida, or certain types of cheese), taste (such as root beer, vegemite, bitter teas, salty liquorice or natto), or appearance. "
I would reccomend you to read the Acquired Taste encyclopedia entry. It's actually interesting.

Foods I did not enjoy as a young child were:
1. Kimchi (I socially learned that this is not lunch friendly food at elementary school)
2. Cheese (I just didn't like it as a child)
3. Liquorice (I would avoid the Black Jelly Bean like the plague)
4. Sushi (I didn't like Sashimi or raw fish. It had a weird texture to it)
Foods I recently started enjoying are:
1. Cheese (Brie, Gouda and Asiago cheese is really good!)
2. White Wine (Red wine tastes exactly what it is Rotten Grape juice however white wine is a bit more fruitier. I have recently purchased a white wine from the St. Lawerance Market on Front St. I had randomly asked the sale associate which wine she prefers. She pulled out Trius Sauvignon Blanc Vintage 2011. It features gooseberry and tropical notes on your palate which is quite nice! )
3. Olive Oil (I did not think it was tasty until this year)
4. Parsley (I hated it as a child)
Acquired Taste Foods I have always enjoyed:
1. I actually like Korean Fermented Soy bean soup which is pretty much Natto soup. Once soy beans becomes fermented, they release this pungent odor. My mother had once attempted to ferment soy beans in the appartment and you can sell the rotten beans in the hallways of the appartment floor.
2. I also enjoyed Root Beer as a child because I thought it freshened up my breath, I liked the A&W bear and thought it stood out from the rest of the sodas.
