Answer 2

It is an instinct that stems from primitive beginnings. For instance, humans smell food to see if it is okay for them to eat (if the food smells rotten, they will not eat it); similarly, people will be able to determine the condition of their food by simply tasting it before they consume all of the food. People can develop tastes for certain foods that other people would normally not like (like any exotic foods or even a really hot pepper).
