Acquired Taste

 Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I got up early this morning.

In my voice update on poems I was working on, I mentioned that the five-finger (carambola) tree in the backyard of my childhood home produced a lot of the fruit. Because of that tree, I took five-finger drink to school just about every day. Although that drink was all around, I never really acquired a taste for it.

I acquired a taste for other things such as Malta (drink), butter pecan ice cream, and cottage cheese. I ate/drank so much of the food/drink that I grew to like it. I have a Pinterest board named 'Acquired Taste' (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/acquired-taste/).
