I agree, but it's an odd thing to realise much later, when reluctantly trying a food for maybe the first time in 10 or 20 years. (when a kid says they don't like figs, figs are stinky, you stop giving them figs and move on.)

Friend was one of those enthusiastic "go on, they're so fresh, try it you'll like it!" guys.

So I said: "all right then. Nope, still tastes like figs do"

Q: "What do you mean?"

A: "you know, all peppery and rough. Figs."

Q: "uh, what?"

A: "Figs are peppery, itchy, right? Right?"

"Nnnoo. It might be just you."

I don't have a serious reaction. I still don't like figs though.
