True. Personal tastes vary significantly.
I preferred dark chocolate and black licorice even as a child.
I also drank coffee and preferred spicy foods at a very young age.
Still do.
You were ‘allowed’ to drink coffee at a young age?
Lucky you. Me and my sisters were taught how to make coffee for parents and grandparents, but not permitted to drink any until around 10 years of age. Me, being the Boy, I also had to empty my Grandad’s ashtrays and clean his smoking pipes when he would visit.
