(Avoiding foods that are considered revolting or just non-food in your culture of origin, like balut or fried locusts, counts as “culinary taste”.)
With such a broad definition of “culinary taste”, my answer is “None”; but I think it is way too broad. (Do you really want to consider—say—a Saudi Muslim’s refusal of eating pork if she’s never met anyone who eats pork to count as a culinary taste?)
Hence, questions 2), 3), 4), 6), and 9) are N/A, 5) in my case would mean “have you tried to convince someone to eat food they have avoided so far?“ and the answer is “no”; 7) That’s their own freaking business, excepting extreme cases such as cannibalism (and in cases such as coprophagia, I’d rather they didn’t do it in front of me) -- I’d like my severely obese grandmother followed a weight-loss diet but I know there’s no way I could convince her so I no longer even try; 8) I used to avoid meat from land animals on Lent Fridays; 9) I agree with A Hacker’s Diet that so long as you’re eating the right number of calories per day and you don’t have a deficiency or excess of any particular nutrient or any significant health issue, what you eat is not that important—and given that I take a multivitamin a day, I don’t think I’m likely to have a deficiency any time soon.
