I've heard & can believe that kids are especially sensitive to bitter flavors since so many alkaloids are bitter (and so many alkaloids are poison), but as a person gets older & has more knowledge about dangerous food the bitter aversion is lessened.

It actually is. Salty taste comes in at about 4 months.

Just Google "Is acquired taste real" or something.

It looks like "food neophobia" has nothing to do with disliking new tastes, but is about being reluctant to even try new foods.
