Pepperoni and green olives is a totally understandable mix: if you like that, you may even have a chance at liking pepperoni and anchovy, which is also a terrifically salty pie. You do have to like anchovy, though. Which, if you haven't tried in some form, I have some simple recipes with them that are so, so good.

Taste is a combination of nature and nurture, like most things There are universally appealing flavors - people like sugary and fatty and salty things - but beyond that? Totally exposure, I'm certain. I know folks that eat stuff on a regular basis that makes my skin crawl. Can't begrudge them it, though, it's what they know and like. Cultural exposure.

What then of siblings with completely different tastes?
My brother was a "problem eater". Even now he barely touches fruit or vegetables unless heavily disguised. Not a problem for my sister and I. And yet my bro is far more adventurous in life and in food than my sister (I think that's down to nature - she's a deeply conservative person).
