Hello Steemit Chefs!
Here's my participation in week 1, 11th season of Steemit Engagement Challenge in Steemit Iron Chefs Community.
This first week's topic is really an interesting one because we are given an opportunity to display various foods and describe our taste for each of it.

Talking About Food Tastes

Every food has its own taste depending on what was used to prepare it. It could taste bitter, sweet, salty or sour. All these boils down to the ingredients used in preparing the food.

Our taste buds send the signal to the brain which indicates how tasty the food is. Since we've realised how various food flavors tastes like, we tend to go for the flavour of our choice. Each food's taste has its own meaning / description.

Taste buds helps correct the taste of food especially when we are dealing with salty ingredients.
Most people go for food of their choice because they cannot cope with untasty foods. I go for attractive food that will get me satisfied and happy after consuming.

Three (3) Foods I Dislike Since Childhood

During my childhood, the number one food I never liked or want to taste is beans. This food irritates me because of how it is being prepared in porridge form.
Another food I disliked then was unripened plantain. Even with the numerous health benefits of those meals mentioned above, I still didn't like them.

Thirdly, white soup was another food I never like during childhood. Whenever this meal is prepared at home, I will skip it or collect my portion and give it out to any of my sibling. Surprisingly, over time, I get to understand properly about the benefits of these foods.

Did You Develop Taste for These Foods or You Still Don't Like Them

Throughout my childhood, I never thought I would enjoy these foods. White soup and plantain (unripe) are one of my best because I know how to prepare them to my taste.
Although, I eat beans occasionally, but it can never be one of my best.

If They are Healthy Meals, Would You Eat Them or Not

These foods are very healthy, I started eating them when I realized the importance of consuming them. When I was a child, I was always forced to eat them most especially beans because of its health benefits.

Mention One Food You Have Always Liked and Why You Like It

I have several foods I love so much. Yam is one food I like most and anyhow it is being prepared, I will definitely eat it.

I like it when it is fried, roasted, cooked as porridge or boiled and served with pepper soup. Yam has been my favorite since childhood. I also like this food because of its health benefits; rich in fiber, minerals and vitamin, has a cancer fighting mechanism, improve the function of brain cell and most importantly, it is highly nutritious.
