Why do two things that taste great on their own (such as chocolate or cheese), taste horrible when you combine the two?

I mean, I wouldn’t eat chocolate covered cheese, but I could eat a whole bar of chocolate or a piece of cheese on their own. What exactly makes them taste horrible when you put them together?

Taste is very subjective. To me, most cheeses on their own taste disgusting, but the majority of people love cheese. There probably are people who enjoy cheese and chocolate together. I think your food preference has to do with your DNA and environmental factors (where you grew up, how many different types of cuisine you’ve sampled, etc.). I’m not entirely sure why some flavors work and others don’t.
