WHY do we have different taste in food? Wouldn’t it make more sense for everyone to like/dislike the same foods?

Some things are received by our bodies in a totally different way person to person. Some people think cilantro tastes bad because the taste that is triggered is akin to soap, more than a leafy green. Also, allergies can prompt people to have discriminatory effects (like if I eat an orange and it affects me negatively I might have an aversion to citrus).
There’s also a cultural aspect to it, some people will eat things growing up and be used to that. This isn’t to say people won’t like foods from other cultures, but the preference is probably related to what is most familiar or easily acquired to some people.
Otherwise, we’re just all very different on many levels. Why do you prefer some types of movies while other people prefer different types? The things we’re drawn to are affected by our genetics and upbringing primarily, so some can just be predisposed to liking pasta, some to steak, some to dragon fruit, and others might not love them but eat them because they grew up with them.
