Coffee tastes burned when it's had boiling water added to it - even cheapie instant tastes a million times better if water is added before it reaches boiling point. And black, always black - a single spoon of brown sugar may be added if one needs a super duper boost or it's hammering down outside.
Olives are great.
Broccoli is great.
Coriander is awesome.
So are peppers, brussels sprouts, kale, savoy cabbage, rocket, courgettes, blue cheese, spices, sour things and pretty much everything else that has been listed as being rank.
Basil tastes soapy to me, as does Paprika. And the abomination that is milky sweet tea should be given a different name to the stuff I drink (general instructions - stick the bag in, add boiling water, wave the milk bottle at it from across the kitchen and leave the bag in, I'll deal with it).
Cake - meh. Biscuits - meh. Hot chocolate - just why? Milkshake - if it's non dairy milk and purely fruit, OK, otherwise, don't waste the sugar and milk. And cheese and onion crisps are an offence against nature, tasting neither of cheese nor of onion.
I was apparently a really faddy eater as a kid. Nope, I just didn't like anything I was given, as it was overcooked, unseasoned and generally slammed on the table with barely concealed rage that she had to spend her life providing food to ingrates such as myself.
But we evolved to take advantage of different things, it's hardly surprising we have such different reactions to foods.
