Boru, pay close attention. This is how you express your dislike of something others like.
I don't like anchovies. I get sick simply smelling them. But, if you like them, have at it.
In fact if I owned a pizza joint, I damned sure would sell anchovies. Why, not because I like them, but because it would make me money.
See how easy that is.
I once went to an Italian bestro locally with my mother years ago. I saw steak on the menue, but it came with some spaghetti like noodles and mushrooms as a topping. I asked the owner who took the order to leave out the mushrooms since I don't like them, and he looked at me like I murdered his family. But worse than that, I asked him if he had some sort of steak sauce, and agian, he looked at me like I murdered his family. I didn't raise a stink because I was with my mom and wanted to enjoy my time with her. But in the entire time I was thinking, "Hey asshole, I am paying you money, and you are not the one eating the food, I am, do you want my money or not?"
Needless to say we never went back. It is one thing to express an opinion, it is quite another to act as if your opinion is law. If the guy had simply smiled and said "we don't have this", that would have been one thing.
Trust me Boru, I am not "butthurt". I simply don't like taste being confused with criticism. You were not criticising anything. If bagpipes were like covid, nobody would play them. I don't like bagpipes either, but they do exist, just like caviar, which I don't like either. So all I can say is I don't like something.
