Okay let's test it: Do you like licorice? I hate it, but the comment you replied to was talking about bliss

Absolutely love liquorice - well at least the British version of it which is like 50% aniseed. Not so much a fan of the Nordic version which tastes saltier than salt.

Other often-contentious dislikes of mine:

  • Butter (ish - I have a really low tolerance before it tastes like it's gone rancid)
  • Yogurt
  • Fish (fish that doesn't really taste of anything, e.g. cod, is ok)
  • Vinegar

I share a good number of these. I don't like tomato, olives, or anything fishy tasting. I do like anise flavored things such as black licorice.

The remaining stuff our tastes differ on.

I'm blown away when people say aniseed is similar to licorice. Aniseed is good, licorice is gross.

Nonono, aniseed is amazing; licorice is not. If you mix them you spoil the aniseed of course...

Anyway I love butter, I like yogurt and fish and I'm ambivalent about vinegar, I like it on some things more than others.

I can't think of any other flavors I don't like, I certainly have preferences but I can tolerate most foods I'm not that much into. Only exceptions would be avocado and pineapple which are painful to digest, but their taste is fine.

Let's go for both. Are they too different for you? I like aniseed but not licorice. They taste very different to me and I can't recall enjoying anything labeled as licorice, although where I grew up I didn't have that distinction in color or name for it.
