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!

Extremely spicy foods
I get liking a little bit of spice. But I don't see how it's enjoyable when your mouth is literally on fire.

Stevia...there's absolutely no way someone enjoys that aftertaste. It's a weird cult that I'm not willing to join and such a dominant flavor.

Even in the smallest amounts it makes me retch. And that aftertaste lingers for what seems like forever.

Extremely hoppy IPAs (if drinks can be included in the discussion).
I enjoy bitterness in my beer, and I know there are some good IPAs out there, but it's gotten to the point that breweries seem to be competing with one another to see who can make the bitterest, most unappealing beers imaginable. They taste like earwax.

I like a lot of stuff people are s******g on here, but I am in my 30s so I think tastes change as you get older.
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.

I have hyposmia, so my sense of smell, and by extension taste, is reduced and cilantro is one of the foods that have no real interest to me. If I had to say, I'd say I don't especially like it, but it doesn't taste like soap as far as I can tell, just yucky. Plus, it's hella expensive, so most of the time I just replace it with parsley and it still gets the jobs done.

And when I first started eating cilantro, it tasted way soapier to me than it does now.

Funny, I grew up saying out loud to members of my family, especially my parents, "How could you eat this soap tasting grossness?!" Cilantro is in MANY foods we eat- I'm Mexican- so it's kind of unavoidable. And then, when I hit my late 20s, it just started growing on me. Then I began to really like it. Now I love it and I'll add it to MANY non-Mexican foods. All the while, I still think it tastes soapy. I guess I now like the taste of soap. 😁

I love cilantro and I definitely do not think it tastes like soap. After culinary school I worked in a Mexican owned restaurant in Texas and learned some amazing recipes using cilantro. Cilantro is a spice and with all spice you have to use it in moderation. It's not everyone's cup of tea and that's fine. I guess that's what makes the world such a magnificent place. We're all different :) (sorry that went deep for a cilantro comment)

Well, I must say that I used to hate it and did think it tasted like soap but now I love it and find recipes to get more of it in my belly. Sometimes I make celery, lemon and cilantro juice and it is so delicious, it’s unbelievable.

I don't buy the gene theory to an extent. Take, for example, a mystery flavour cola. If you got 10 people to do a taste test you would get about approx. 5 different answers and some retracting their initial guess after hearing the other's answers. So, if someone heard cilantro tastes like soap all over the internet it may influence how they perceive cilantro tastes like. I've had cilantro many times and never tasted soap. Kinda herb-y, but not the worst. When I tried it after I heard some people say it tastes like soap I faintly could taste the soap taste. But I've tasted soap and it's not the same.

Chitterlings. My mom-in-law made some at my house, and it smelled like a grown man s***ted all over my home and walls.
Marc Booker 3 years ago
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.

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.

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.

You all need a good famine and see what it feels like. Pampered species.

Life is too short to care about what someone thinks about what you eat. Opposingly, it's also too late to care about what others eat. Just enjoy what you do! (Except people's pets...even if their pet is something that's normally a food item where you are.)

Bananas. Yech! Can't stand them. The taste, the texture, the smell. All gross. I can't even be in the same room as someone eating them. It's weird as, aside from bananas, I will pretty much eat anything. Plus, like everyone in the world seems to love them. I swear people often look at me like I said I like to eat babies or something when I tell them I hate bananas.

I don't like the taste of alcohol any it's weird but they all have a weird aftertaste thing that's the same it's hard to explain kinda like how you can feel cranberry juice on your tounge after But then again I am a fan of pineapple on pizza so I'm probably a psychopath lol

Nah. Took me 7 years to even try to drink a full glass of alcohol after I hit the legal age. I still can only drink theore fruity ones so I can't really taste the alcohol.

Yum! I’ve made really good ones from scratch too. But why bother when you can open a can?

If you like it, and it's fairly healthy - who cares if everyone else on the planet hates it?

Truth! Some of these people with these extreme dislikes are in the minority. Except for the dog meat. That's pure evil.

Try drip coffee with better beans. I have a friend who grows and sells coffee. Ever since I drank black coffee at his orchard, I've never added cream or sugar.

Guacamole. Ick. Nasty green color, slimy, weird texture, almost no taste

Whoever is feeding you this "guacamole" is doing it wrong. It can be heavenly if done right.

Until recently I would have said Waldorf salad, but my mom has made it two weeks in a row and it’s one of my new favourite things.

Okay fine - you’re right, they’re actually not very good.

I would vote for Frisee. What a horrible little bitter, dirt flavored leaf. All the cooking shows I watched where they rave over a Frisee salad have me convinced to try it. Didn't even have to chew it to taste the bitter. And I like bitter most times.

Quick question: Anyone here ever tried porridge with boiled frogs? The texture... -_-

If you've never tried nattō, be sure not to. Sticky, disgusting fermented Japanese beans, yuck!

Caramilks. They even had to implement a search for some golden key to get more sales. Anyone think there's an actual metal key, and try breaking all the Caramilks at the store thinking you could just feel for it? I'm guessing it's not a real key. Idk.
