No problem, thanks for the kind words, and I agree many of the replies have been truly interesting.
If everybody followed the advice in your final sentence, there certainly would be fewer posts, and there would also need to be some sort of body more formal than the "evangelist" labelers to highlight who the experts are.

Kind of how I feel. It's a discussion board full of opinions from people of many different walks of life. Some are better than others. Some obviously feel mine is not one of the better opinions... I expected and am fine with that considering the reason I asked the question in the first place (it's sacrilege in some circles to say certain food is average, or that the "wrong food" is good).

One thing I will say tangentially to this point is that I do think it is quite likely that the OP, and many Americans (myself included - this is something I have experienced), have pretty messed up palettes. Our food is oversalted, overseasoned, overprocessed, etc., and that makes it difficulty to taste nuance and subtle flavors.
I can buy that.
