The foods we have been consuming for years have once been new to us too, and the problem is one of being set in our ways. You can get to know variety better if you try something different every once in a while and pick the new stuff you really want.

There is no point in bashing your head against a wall of bricks trying to cultivate a taste for something you don't want. But you're never going to know if you like it until you actually try it. This is particularly true with respect to international cuisine. It can look different but it is consumed daily by millions of people, so it can hardly be harmful. Take a leap of faith and adopt a new diet.
