When it comes to taste, we all have different palates and enjoy different foods and drinks. Some of us just love to try some new cuisines that offer us some never-before-seen dishes, while others enjoy more casual things. This is why there's no accounting for taste. But have you ever found yourself in a place where you tried something and didn’t like it a lot but continued to pretend to enjoy it? If so, you’re not alone. Reddit user @u/ExtremeCumMaster asked others online to share what is in their opinion that one food that everyone says tastes so great when in reality they just pretend to like it. The question “What food do you swear people only pretend to like?” received more than 37k responses that revealed some interesting and yet relatable answers. 

While some people were interested in why others like to eat some less known foods that have a perhaps nasty-looking texture or smell and pretend to enjoy it, other users were naming things that they didn’t like at first but with time their opinion changed. How many of you also didn’t eat blue cheese or licorice because of its weird taste? Some Redditors not only mentioned foods but some drinks too, most of them being alcoholic beverages such as beer or vodka. One user also mentioned spicy food, knowing how some people love to eat extremely spicy dishes that make their mouth feel as if it's “literally on fire”. 

What is one food or drink that you think others pretend to like when in reality they despise it? Don’t forget to share your answer in the comments section!

Love me some cheese that smells of feet, anchovies on pizza and coffee strong enough that I see through time. I used to go crazy for gummies, especially the sour ones. Now I find sweet things a bit, meh, I can take or leave it. But you'll have to prize a stinky cheeseboard out of my cold dead hands.

    I'm white af but I was adopted at birth into a Mexican family. I grew up eating tripe (sometimes called "tripas" in Spanish). Menudo wouldn't be menudo without tripe. :) I can understand not liking it if you haven't been exposed to it properly. But please don't allude to it as "trash" or "dog food only"; there are many people that like it, and those are cruel labels for a food that other cultures eat and enjoy.

    Some keto recipes are better because you use more fat. For instance, you replace milk in recipes with whole heavy cream. Of course something is going to taste better if you load it with fat. But I get your point.

    I beg to differ. I think a chargrilled burger tastes better on an Iceberg lettuce bun with all the condiments. Hot burger with cold salad. Not only is it delicious, it's a fraction of the calories of a hamburger bun and you don't feel like curling up for a nap after you eat it.

    I hate bread, and bread hates me. Bread is a middleman, it's what you eat when there's not enough of what you're putting between the bread slices to make a meal of. It's rice, it only exists to stretch a meal out. It also reconstituets in my stomach as a large, heavy brick whenever I eat it. I'd rather have a full meal of beef, turkey or ham!. (Grilled cheese and garlic bread are the obvious exceptions...)

    I had to go on a special restrictive diet to treat a digestive disorder called SIBO and yes, it is tough to get used to not having breads (and many other things), but you get used to it when you have to do it to feel better. And I will say that extra weight I was carrying around for a dozen years did melt off and I was never hungry, plus I did intermittent fasting.

    Chitterlings are one of the vestiges of the history of enslavement in this country. In Southern Death Camps where enslaved people were held captive, they had to make do with what the Human Traffickers holding them gave them to eat. Often, after feeding the owners, the enslaved people took what was left to feed their own families. Such was the case with chitterlings, which, for those who don't know, are the intestines of a pig. To survive, the enslaved people often took what their owners wouldn't eat, and prepared and seasoned it in such a way as to make it palatable so their own families wouldn't starve on the meager food they were provided. In time, some of those dishes became delicacies. I personally don't eat chitterlings, but my many family members who came from the South still do.

    Also, those overstuffed sandwiches that have half a dozen different types of meat. What's the point? I can't fit the damn thing in my mouth, and the individual tastes gets lost in the maelstrom of meat.

    Snails need to be 'cleaned' before eating. I quote "Rinse them in cool water and prick out the meat with the tip of a knife. To remove the last of the slime, rinse the snails in a bowl of vinegar water (1/2 cup of vinegar per gallon of water). Repeat this process several times with fresh water and vinegar until the mucus is gone." serve with garlic butter and yum.

    Folks Online Can't Believe That People Actually Enjoy These 30 Foods And Drinks Hákarl. I can’t imagine someone coming in from a long day of work and tucking into a plate of fishy smelling, ammonia flavored chewy shark chunks that make you smell like a bait camp for the rest of the evening. It seems like survival food - you will stay alive if you eat it, but it’s not appealing … to me. If you’re Icelandic - please help me understand why this is a thing.

    LISTEN UP NON AUSTRALIANS, ITS NOT NUTTELA. So many people who try it say its horrible cause they've spread it on like Nutella. Just toast a shitty piece of white bread, slather it with butter/margarine and spread like 5 grams on top, thats it. PERFECTION. Eat it like that and you can be a happy little vegemite too.

    I think any alcohol can fit into this list. I wonder how many people actually hate alcohol but drink it anyway because it's a social norm / because of peer pressure.

    Folks Online Can't Believe That People Actually Enjoy These 30 Foods And Drinks There's an emotional reaction to foods (and other sensations) that develops over time. Eventually, it gets to the point that the food--regardless of what's disgusting about it--makes you feel something enjoyable and pleasant. If I'd never eaten Bleu Cheese before, I'd be disgusted by it now. But, I unknowingly had some when I was 4 or 5 at a family Christmas party in a cheeseball. When I eat Bleu Cheese these days, it reminds me of warm happy Christmases of decades long ago.
