I'm not a fan of old bitter lettuce.
I like radishes since they're good for me and once grew them.

Love of Black Licorice is actually attributable directly to genetic traits. Its a strictly Northern European affair. It probably has to do with natural selection. Bitter food in the cold winter is well, normal. Bitter tastes in the tropics? Probably poison.I'm a black licorice person. Of all the bitter foods, I think black licorice is the one that people most dependably have either a very positive or a very negative opinion on.
Thats BS... The plant is not native to northern europe and is not a northern European affair, its used all over the Med and the ME.Love of Black Licorice is actually attributable directly to genetic traits.

Bitter candies are really prized in the north though. Not so in the south. Licorice is definitely used in the south, but never in its raw form. Its always combined with something else to mask the flavor. Hell, the major defining feature that splits northern European food from southern is the emphasis on savory vs. sweet.Thats BS...

The other major bitter plants also come from the south. there is also a clear line in europe, around 150 miles from the coast, there is no genetical rift at that point.
My best guess is more oil from seafish in the diet.
Around the north and Baltic sea.Bitter candies are really prized in the north though. Not so in the south.
Thats news to me. the sweetest stuff comes from northern PolandHell, the major defining feature that splits northern European food from southern is the emphasis on savory vs. sweet.
Maybe it's an Anglo thing then. Brits and Americans are infamous for their love of bitter things. Black tea, black coffee, soy sauce, worstechire sauce, Cinnamon as a desert spice. Licorice. The latter too have a very definite genetic component from what I have understood. Some people taste cinnamon and get a sweet savor. Others get an unpalatable bitter. Those who taste it sweet tend to be Anglos, which has meant Cinnamon is super popular in the UK and America and just another spice everywhere else.Around the north and Baltic sea.

English Black tea is way less bitter than what most other people drink as black tea. Americans are known for drinking very gay coffee mix drinks.Brits and Americans are infamous for their love of bitter things. Black tea, black coffee, soy sauce, worstechire sauce
What kind of people taste cinnamon as something bitter?ome people taste cinnamon and get a sweet savor. Others get an unpalatable bitter.
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERI also love semen, super sweet things and very very sour.
Liquorice/anise is probably the closest I could get to licking satan's asshole, I imagine. Ouzo, Aquavit, etc can all go back to fucking hell where they belong.Thats BS... The plant is not native to northern europe and is not a northern European affair, its used all over the Med and the ME.
