Indeed every food presents multiple treatment opportunities for a cook. it is interesting to me to read about others' tastes and inventiveness. I don't have to like a flavor spectrum to appreciate it. To me, it's interesting how our pasts mold our presents,. How one person's mandate is another's aversion.
ETA, lemon is a different and very interesting flavor. I cannot get enough of it, especially Meyer lemon, while DH finds any hint of lemon "sour". interestingly, he doesn't find most vinegars particularly sour, especially compared to lemon, spoon per spoon.
As someone said, we aren't a melting pot. We are a tossed salad.
