don't force yourself to like something. Give it a while. Your taste buds change and mature as you age, so things that grossed you out as a kid (like your Dad's black coffee or green beans or onions) may start tasting better and better as you age. And then there are some things that gross you out not because of taste, but because of texture/preparation. Like sushi. I will never get over the fact that sushi and sashimis are made out of raw fish meat! ewww! Love seafood, just prefer that it's cooked. Or maybe you hate the starchy texture of potatoes, or fuzzy peaches. Texture's not gonna change. Either try a different way of cooking it or peel it.
Like it or not, your taste is part of who you are. And some people will be pickier than others. That's okay. It's what makes you different from other people. And besides, life's too short to be making yourself gag down food that grosses you out...

I think you have to try something at least five times before you really know if you like it or not. But even if you try it several times you still may not like it.

it really depends, food aversions originally were used as a survival skill, it helped people from eating toxic things and poisonous foods ie berries. A lot of times people develop food aversions after they have been sick, and although they may accept the food that they ate may not have directly made them sick, a lot people still remain stubborn. anyway, just ease it in, don't force anything on yourself

it depends alot of it is physological so if you keep telling yourself that you dont like a particular food then you may never like it. if your positive and think hey maybe this really is good then it will come to you much faster becuase its all in you brain.

if you don't like it, you won't start liking it for no reason
