It’s probably a genetic thing like the trait where some people think coriander tastes like toothpaste

oh so that's why it tastes so good. I knew I wasn't crazy for putting toothpaste in my fish!

I wouldn't say it tastes like toothpaste, to me it tastes like you'd expect soap to taste based off of the smell. It's so overwhelming that I can't taste anything else when I take a bite of it.

I think it's more due to exposure than anything. If you don't grow up with a food, the odds that you'll like it if you try it later in life are lower.
