My dog will refuse to eat some foods if he has it too many days in a row, and he eats new kibble more enthusiastically than whatever he’s been eating lately. He’s a very picky eater for such a food obsessed little chonker.

They certainly can. Pets often develop preferences for certain foods, and our cats certainly get excited when we break out the fancy foods.

There is a surprising lack of variety in human food in many cultures as well. Partially that is due to poverty, but not only as many see it as perfectly normal to eat the exact same dish 7 days a week.

This has been on my mind for years. It is indeed a classic and I am most delighted it has popped up.
