gene

Well, something popped up while i was having my dinner. My father and I had totally different preference on the dish- curry chicken. I found it very tasty but my dad totally disagrees. So, i was wondering does our taste have anything to do with ur genes? Is it encoded or is it cultivated by the environment? However, taste and prefernce is such an individualistic uniquesness that i sometimes wonder is there is some kind of relation with our genes? Is there a gene for taste and preference?
