Deep breaths. Let's try to correct this misunderstanding. Most of us feel a little hurt when a general statement is made that are tastes are indiscriminate. It seemed to me to mean that we lacked the ability to recognize and appreciate fine food and know the difference between excellent cuisine and mediocre perhaps because we hadn't been exposed to fine dining?
Perhaps I didn't understand and you meant something else entirely.
Here is the meaning I perceived;
dis·crim·i·nat·ing
/dɪˈskrɪm
əˌneɪ
