The Secret to Developing a Taste for Food You Don't Like Is Repetition

As humans, we know what tastes we like, but we are also very capable of change.

Perhaps all of your friends drink specialty beers and you wish you could join the conversation.

Whatever your reason, you’re able to change if you want to.

And it’s benign because it doesn’t hurt us.

It’s like getting to like smoking when you first smoke, it’s terrible.

But you [may] keep going because there’s social pressure.

For some people it inverts pretty quickly.

You’ve no doubt heard someone say that something has an “acquired taste.”

This is how you acquire it.
