Ok, if u eat or drink something and u say u don't like it, and someone says "it's an acquired taste." WHAT IS THAT? if u don't like it, why would u take the time and put urself through that just to like it???

An acquired taste means it's a food that takes a little getting used to.It becomes less of a big deal to your taste buds the more you eat, and you actually end up kind of liking it when you're in the mood for it.
Let me give you this example. Have you ever heard a song on the radio and you really didn't like it. But they kept playing it and playing it. Then one day you find yourself moving to it in the car and you're like, well maybe it's not so bad. It just kinda of grows on you.
Some foods are like that for instance sushi, caviar, tequila, pigs feet. Ha, Ha!

Good question...there are a few things like wine and certain foods that are indeed acquired tastes but for the most part maybe the person who said it is just trying to get you to drink or eat their product! Just a wild guess.

It depends on what I'm eating/drinking. I have had that happen before. My tastes are so picky that I may try something new, but I'm not really sure if I like it or not. So I have to try it a couple more times to figure it out.

lol, my thoughts exactly, but it actually worked for me for a few things. I will never get to olives or fish, though. Some tastes I just don't want to acquire.

I think "it's an acquired taste" translates to: "I agree, it tastes like crud, but I want you to keep eating it a while to see if you'll catch on..." or something sadistic like that!

There are certain things that you don't like the first time you try it but you may like it if you try it again. Thats all it means. There are a lot of things that I would not eat when I was a kid that I love now (like onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms).

When I was younger, I went through a stage where I didn't like corn, now I love it. I also now like brocolli. The point is, that when you first try something it is foreign to you and therefore it may not appeal to you, but as you get used to it, you may like it.

Maybe the food or drink is really healthy?
