When it comes to liking or disliking certain type of food there are several factors related to it.Much of what we call taste is actually flavor, trait that has to do much with smell and texture as it does with our taste buds. As humans we are born with the ability to detect 5 type of taste sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami. Though our individual sensitivity to our like or dislike is determined by genetics but there are certain reasons which determine why we like or dislike certain things.
· Genetics : People experience bitter flavors differently as the combination of bitter receptor genes varies for each person. And almost everyone lacks the ability to detect at least one scent which might strike you either offensive or earthy.
· Culture : Not many people like extremely bitter or spicy foods the first time tasting them but they can come to tolerate and even crave them with repeated exposure and become the one who enjoys that kind of food.
· Texture : Although science cannot yet fully explain why some people hate gritty slimy or creamy foods no matter their flavor.
· Experience : Your liking also depends on the fact about what your mother ate during her pregnancy as there is a research which syas that babies are predisposed to the food their mother ate while they were pregnant and later while breastfeeding.
