In case of steak, I don’t like raw meat, if I see pinkness in meat it feels raw and disgusting. And when well cooked it’s hard. I like my red meat cooked in a pressure cooker so it’s fully cooked and soft. Same with raw fish or any other food with raw meats.

For other foods, variety of reasons. I don’t like some foods because growing up in a farm I always saw certain bugs in some plants so I have associated that plant’s smell to that bug.

Some foods I don’t like texture, some I don’t like the taste enough that I feel like I’ll vomit. Some foods I don’t like but I can eat.

And some food I just got used to eating a certain way. I absolutely don’t like raw or not well cooked beans or zucchini because it feels wrong. While some food I grew up eating raw so cooked version feels wrong like carrots
