This is shit that food snobs tell people to make them feel bad for liking what they like. The foods people like are personal opinions, not fact. There aren’t right and wrong things to like.
Oh and some food being expensive doesn’t mean it is good, it just means it’s expensive, it can still be shitty and suck, even if others delude themselves into thinking it’s good because $$$
That’s not just food though, that’s literally everything.
A person whose spent thousands of hours making and consuming music is going to notice and value different things than someone who just listens to whatever is on the radio.
A person whose driven hundreds of cars probably has a way better idea about what they like and what they don’t like in a car than someone whose driven 3.
That’s what having a “developed taste” means. Yeah it’s all opinions, but you can’t even know what your opinion is of something unless you try it, and you can’t develop an in-depth opinion of something unless you’ve tried a whole bunch of similar somethings.
That doesn’t mean you need to do that with everything of course. Not everyone needs to cultivate an appreciation for everything, I don’t know or care what good beef Wellington is like for example, but I’m also not going to get pissy with people purely because they have different interests than me.
