People say they hated it at first, but over time, grew to love it. One must be trained to like it.
This can raise a warning flag but I’ve experienced this myself with coffee and some other foods. It didn’t take any training for me but a lot of people who like beer don’t like the bitter, hoppy beers like IPAs without some training—and while pretentious beer snobs are annoying and amusing on several levels I can’t quite doubt them when I have the same preferences.
Of course, training yourself to change your food preferences can be good for your health; for example, I’ve gone from “can’t stand food that’s touched broccoli” to “will eat broccoli if mixed w/ something strong-flavored to mask it,” and I have trained myself not to like bacon.
I agree (have had the same experience), although I argue that mustard, sauerkraut or other bitter/sour foods are better examples than coffee or beer, simply because drugs change the way we process surrounding stimuli.
