意味
Everyone has different preferences.
文化的背景
The French take food very seriously. Using this phrase can sometimes be a 'polite' way of saying you think someone's food choice is a culinary crime. In Quebec, you might also hear 'Chacun sa patente' (to each their own thing/gadget) in very informal settings. Swiss French speakers use 'Chacun ses goûts' similarly, but they are often more reserved and might use it to avoid any form of confrontation. In Belgium, the phrase is common, but you might also hear 'Chacun son truc' more frequently in casual Brussels slang.
The Shrug
In France, this phrase is almost always accompanied by a physical shrug (le haussement d'épaules). It adds to the 'it is what it is' vibe.
Don't be too dismissive
If you say it with a mean face, it can sound like 'Your taste is garbage'. Keep a neutral or friendly expression.
