Weird? Pretty much.
Fcrate:
Mint gum is a completely different flavor. Peppermint or somesuch. I still like it though.
Oh yes. My favorite is Orange fed honey. Clover fed is also nice, but usually much more viscous, so it's difficult to dissolve in a cold juice (Which is my main use for honey).
Dina:
I can have a mint tea without any problems, but it is never my first option. I have 2 boxes of different blends because I have a friend who loves mint tea. And those tea...are more than two years old, as my friend has not visited us since before the first lockdown.
I do agree mint tea and mint chewing gum are different flavored. A while ago, topline (chewing gum brand) released chewing gum of 4 different mint flavors, so you could choose. I do not remember all the names, but there was peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen.
I admit honey flavors are very interesting, and some of them I like more than others, but in general I am not a fan of honey, specially if the smell is too like perfume.
Edited: fresh orange juice with a touch of honey and cinammon or nutmeg can be good. Hubby likes it more than me though.

I guess it all depends on what you grew up with. I love my mother's cooking above all else (except for pizza, I make the best pizza in the world :D ) but now that I am older, I can recognize that it's a bit bland, and leans heavily towards healthy on the healthy-delicious quotient.
Now that I said this, isn't it annoying that the most delicious food is the least healthy? I mean, there ARE healthy delicious recipes, but mostly, if it tastes good, it either makes you fat or gives you arteriosclerosis, diabetes, food poisoning, and probably psychosis.
Dina:
Yes, it is very annoying. And old sentence here says "the best things in life make you fat or are a sin".
Argentinians have very good pizza! We love it, so we have a lot of practice. And we also have good mozzarellas and other cheeses (we are not Italy, but we have good cows, and we don't only use them for barbecues), I made a decent pizza but I know it is not among the best, but professional pizzerias are very good.
On topic, yes, I agree, it depends where you grew up with, but you can also learn. I now enjoy foods that I had never tried as a child, like Mexican or Arabian.
Dina:
How is everyone doing?
I took the first partial exam (the mid term exam, you would say) to my students yesterday. I was alone for (most) of the 4 hours of the test. Luckily they were only 8 students. The professor was not able to go to the exam as her husband was positive for Covid. And the other TA was sick (he tested negative but perhaps it was too early to test, or it was an influenza, or another thing, we were not sure. He is feeling better today). Also, the professor that gives some lectures in the second part of the term, that many times came to the exams, is in France now. Luckily a friend of mine came to keep an eye on the students while I went to the bathroom and for a coffee. It was coldish in the classroom.
