> "I tried steak, chicken, and fish"

That does not seem much better. You may as well say "I don't like alcohol, I tried 'good beer', wine, and liquor".

There are particular animals that I like or do not like (salmon for instance I have never been a fan of with any preparation I have tried) and various preparations/cuts that I do not like (lamb chops, most preparations of steak besides rare (preferably Pittsburgh rare, which is sadly difficult to find or prepare yourself at home) and most baked/broiled preparations of poultry). These classifications are again only scratching the surface of course, basically just breaking the question down to "ale or lager? white wine or red? Dark liquor, or clear?"

Regardless if it isn't your thing, then knock yourself out, but you should be sure that you don't fall into the trap of being confused why others don't share your personal preferences. (Or worse, trying to suggest that people who don't share your personal preferences are deluding themselves; lying to themselves about their own tastes.) I don't find myself annoyed by veganism/vegetariansim until I really get one of those vibes coming across.



Yeah, I just tasted it because I'd forgotten what it tasted like. Obviously taste isn't a reason to stop eating meat for everyone, and it's certainly not as compelling as animal welfare/personal health/environmental concerns.
