You realize of course that it does.

I do

Why would you disbelieve repeated and quite reasonbale anecdotes of groups
forced to dine repeatedly on foods unfamiliar to their childhood and
previous experiences and objecting to same?

I don't necessarily disbelieve them. I just become suspicious when the
same tale (which has a moral attached) pops up all over the place, and
yet I haven't seen a primary source.

Pops up all over the place? In northern colonies of a country that has
never been big on cooking prowess or known for lavishing unnecessary
expense on apprentices or indentured servants?

And just what is the moral? I missed that part. I thought it was about
people getting tired of the same food every day, even though it is now
expensive.


When I see a primary source that I can check, I'll believe it. Until
then, I'll stay wary.
