What makes people like certain foods?!

We--as well as all other animals--do not crave variety in our diets!. It's a matter of natural selection, since animals that crave variety are likely to be poisoned by what they eat!. Comfort foods are those we have learned to trust, which is a natural instinct!. Adventurous eating requires us to overcome that instinct!. Some people never do!. I know someone who wants to eat a cheeseburger and mashed potatoes for dinner, every dinner!. That is actually normal!. My cat eats the same dry crap twice a day and has for years!. But she still comes running when she hears me pop the lid off the container!. So it's not so much that we LIKE a particular type of food better as it is that we've learned to TRUST eating it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think most people are fond of the foods they were served as a child growing up!. When they leave home, they miss the home cooking!. My brother's wife is a fanatic about cooking sugar free foods and health food recipes!. When my brother visits home, he loves to have homemade biscuits and Ribbon Cane syrup which his wife doesn't serve!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
