I go back and forth on it, which is probably why its rarely used here. I don't get "moody" about too many foods, but I could go for a year thinking it tastes like garbage and then all of a sudden want balsamic vinagrette on 10 straight salads. That said, if I ever get to Italy again, I will very likely try to find a balsamic tasting. I recall in my much younger days not being a wine drinker. And then I did the barrel tasting at Del Dotto my first time in Napa and it changed my perspective. I'd give balsamic that same chance.
