Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Jacob: It's no problem to tell someone that you don't like a specific thing. It's not rude but considered honest. When it comes to food you can say 'Ik vind het niet lekker' and in other situations 'ik vind het niet leuk'. They both mean 'I don't like it', but the first one is used when you are talking about the taste of something.
