aquired taste
Something you eat/drink for status such as French wine. No one actually likes it, as much as they say it's good.
Example:
During a social gathering, one leans over and whispers into friend's ear, "What's with this nasty-ass wine/rotten cheese?". Friend replys, "It has an aquired taste."
