Hahaha.

You could say I'm the most boring person in the world. I don't smoke, drink, or hire hookers.
All wines taste like wine, too. The only thing that's "wrong" with you is that you aren't practiced in really thinking about the way things taste.
This is probably because I'm usually not too selective. Basically, every restaurant I go to taste fine to me (and the same). Everything my wife cooks seem to taste just fine even though she (and others) occasionally would say this is too salty or that is too sour or whatnot.
Develop your sense of taste. Go to a wine tasting. Host your own coffee tasting.
But as I understand it, much of what's "good" is completely subjective. How does one of these taste events work anyway? How do people really know what's the best without reading each other's minds?
