In my experience taste is not as good.

that doesn't sound very tasty, but to each their own I guess.

Yes, it tastes icky. Maybe just to me, though.

They taste weird to me too but I'm not convinced it's an absolute quality rather than just unfamiliarity

Uhh, no? They have a strong taste as well.

It's an acquired taste. Even then, sometimes it tastes sour.

I find the taste to be very different.

This is the first time I've heard of that. Glad I stumbled across this, even though I hate the taste.

It's almost like taste is subjective or something.
