Explain how variations in taste preferences depend on what one has been exposed to

When it comes to taste, it is certain that genetic factors contribute to a person's tendency in their taste perception and preferences. But science has also discovered that taste is affected in its majority by the experiences that the person has been exposed to, starting from when the person was in their's mother womb.

One example can be how the diet that a pregnant woman has during her pregnancy, can later affect her child taste's preferences. If the mother was eating high amounts of pumpkin during the pregnancy, it is normal for her child to prefer pumpkin flavor cereal, when growing up.
