Drink a beer – tastes like shit.
Repeat until it doesn’t.
It’s simply familiarity and an adaption mechanism working.

We humans are well equipped to adapt to almost any environment we find ourselves in. We don’t remember developing a taste for anything but we did and that ability doesn’t leave us simply because we grow older.

The taste buds we have were acquired from our parents but that only means we have certain preferences. We can learn, simply by repeated exposure, to enjoy other things…..yes even broccoli. Most people don’t want to or don’t see a benefit to doing that.
