I had a BIL actually try my home-made chocolate pudding and declare he
couldn't eat it. He had always eaten the prepared stuff, and home-made
just didn't taste like what he thought pudding should be.

My sister had a similar problem with a neighbor's kids. They'd been
raised by their trailer trash momma on processed chicken products
(nuggets, tenders, etc), so they'd turn their noses up at chicken "on
the bone". They (and their momma) thought that was icky.
