I’m a white girl that grew up in the country areas of Australia, though I have eaten Indian food and I love it.

Thank God it wasn't just me >

I suppose this would be the case if you only ever use mint toothpaste. I mean,  I get it,  I can't eat artificially flavors cherry things because of cherry flavored medicine. >

God my mind was blown when I tried an actual cherry and instantly loved it. I absolutely hate cherry flavoring but an actual cherry tastes fucking spectacular. 
Also different but the same with watermelon. I've always loved artificial watermelon, my favorite flavor. But when I finally tried a watermelon a few years ago I wanted to throw up because there's no taste. I have no idea what they based the watermelon flavor off of but it's definitely not watermelon. >

Lol, you must have tried a really shitty watermelon then. Good watermelon is delicious and full of flavor >

Watermelon is at best a vessel for salt or booze. >

Booze ruins the taste of everything >

Lol, you must have tried a really shitty booze then. Good booze is delicious and full of flavor >

Oh I've had plenty of high quality alcohol but I don't believe anyone who says they like the taste. At least not enough to drink it without the effects of alcohol.
"Good booze" just means "booze that can hide the godawful taste of its alcohol content a bit better than others"
Alcohol itself tastes like poison...because it is kind of poison lol >

I just used your comment and changed watermelon to booze. >

I know, I just think booze is nasty lol >

I seen this taste test of lemon flavor on American test kitchen. of all the fake lemon flavors, real lemons scored the worst. What you say is true of mint, but that's because mint flavor is used in toothpaste. >

I wonder if this is true or have you been too conditioned by your toothpaste to believe that mint is essentially toothpaste by now. >

It's the latter. >

Actually it's toothpaste that tastes like mint >

Thank you. People act like mint was created in a lab to taste like some magical naturally existing tube of toothpaste picked straight from the toothpaste tree >

Literally no one acts like that... >

The real unpopularopinions are always in the comments. >

i mean where else do opinions go >

Adding mint to Greek meatballs makes it infinitely better. Also salads, teas, you name it. >

Lamb with mint is delicious. >

It has been sort of scientifically shown that it is (lamb + mint = good). Basically lamb has compounds that when combined with mint taste different than if you were just to eat raw mint or raw lamb alone (albeit I realize that seems obvious about food pairings). >

i prefer to cook my lamb >

If you mean artificial mint flavor, you're mostly right. If you mean fresh mint leaves (and there's different varieties with different aromatic properties), then definitely not. >

Fresh mint leaves in a dish or a beverage is great. Anything artificial tastes like toothpaste and does not belong in food IMO >

Finally! Was looking for this >

You have never eaten Indian or Arab cuisines, I see.
Also, mint chocolate is not the only kind of mint. Nor mint jelly. I think you're falsely equating mint flavoring with the use of mint as an herb, which leads me to understand your position.
