I'm thinking of ways to explain why you do/don't like a certain food.

I don't like broccoli because-

It tastes good
It doesn't taste good
It's nasty
I like spicy food

Thanks

I see that you are using "sabe" for tastes. What verb does that come from, because I thought "sabe" meant "knows" (Ella no sabe donde esta su libro. from saber).

No me gusta el brocoli porque:
Sabe bien
No sabe bien
Es repulsivo
Me gusta la comida picante
About your second question, yes, the verbe "saber" means to know and the taste of something.
Have you ever wondered why the verbe "lead" can be " to guide" or the gray, heavy metal ?
Or corn, the cereal or the skin overgrowth in the feet ?
Or spring, the twisted piece of wire within the matress or a fountain of water or the action of jumping or the season of the year ? Have you ever wondered about any of these words ?
Why are you surprised ? English contains many, many more examples of this double meaning

I don't like broccoli because-
No me gusta el brócoli porque-

It tastes good = Sabe bien
It doesn't taste good = No sabe bien
It's nasty = Es asqueroso/repugnante
I like spicy food = Me gusta la comida picante

The verb saber means know or taste. Example:
Esta tortilla sabe muy bien = This omelet taste very good
No sabe por qué = He/she/it doesn't know why

No me gusta el brócoli porque:

sabe bien
no sabe bien
es desagradable
me gusta la comida picante

The word "sabe" here comes from "sabor" = taste, flavour

The other one is "saber" = to know, be able, know how

So, yes it has two different meanings.

I hope this helps.

The verb "saber" has several meanings, one of which - like you said - is "to know". Another meaning is "to taste" (i.e. having flavour, not the act of putting food in your mouth).

¿CÓMO DICES LAS SIGUIENTES COSAS EN CASTELLANO?
ESTOY PENSANDO EN FORMAS DE EXPRESAR PORQUÉ O PORQUÉ NO ME GUSTA CIERTO TIPO DE COMIDA

NO ME GUSTA EL BRÓCOLI PORQUE... (NO ME AGRADA EL BRÓCOLI, PUES...)

SABE BIEN (TIENE UN SABOR AGRADABLE)
NO SABE BIEN (NO TIENE UN SABOR AGRADABLE)
ES DESAGRADABLE (ME RESULTA REPUGNANTE)
ME GUSTA LA COMIDA PICANTE (ME GUSTA LA COMIDA CONDIMENTADA)
