Sorry, I forgot to mention in my previous: it might help to 
understand that Phlip apparently despises anything that tastes of 
anise, licorice, fennel, etc.

If the above seems a little harsh (I thought it was until I thought 
about it for a few), it's probably driven more by physical revulsion 
than by conservatism or any desire to be mean.

Even if the speaker confuses value judgements based on opinion with 
empirical fact, we don't need to ;-).
