[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showing disgust towards any food. Whenever he desired it, he would eat it, and whenever he did not desire it, he would remain silent.  

أحمد:١٠٤٢١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى مَوْلَى جَعْدَةَ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَابَ طَعَامًا قَطُّ كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَهَاهُ أَكَلَهُ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَشْتَهِهِ سَكَتَ
