Can one be a good cook if they don't like staples?
I mean people that go like:
>I don't like olives
>I don't like tomatos
>I don't like tempura
>I don't like fried ___
>I don't like blue cheese
>I don't like whiskey
Literally why live?
Depends on what you mean by "fried". If that's anything that's been fried, then no, you won't be a good cook. If you only mean deep fat frying, then that's normal.
But olives are objectively terrible. Only very few people like them (or pretend to like them, fucking hipsters)
>Can one be a good cook if they don't like X?
Of course, but it's rare. A better question is to ask why people don't like X and why so many chefs like everything. The reason is the same as has been shown in every study: taste is subjective and mostly about availability. The more you eat something, the more you come to enjoy it, with only the rarest of exceptions.
Chefs past a certain level understand that different people have different tastes and that all they can do is make good food to the best of their ability.
People like >>7396523 who do mental gymnastics to say that something is bad just because they don't eat it regularly and therefore don't enjoy it will always exist, c'est la vie.
Blue cheese is fucking nasty and I don't drink. Other than that I like all of those, and I consider myself a decent cook.

I only drink single malt, not wasting that shit for cooking

yes, even the spaniards and greeks are hipsters
So it's not really a staple, but I don't like cantaloupe. Even so, I've still learned how to tell a good ripe cantaloupe from an underripe or overripe one, and can use it when I have to.
You can be a good cook and not like certain foods, you just have to be capable of setting your own preferences aside.

I wouldn't consider olives, tempura, fried anything, blue cheese or whiskey to be "staples"

I can only imagine how disappointing it is for you that nobody is making a big deal about how none of those are staples. Maybe you were too subtle.
