LLLI had a reprint many, many years ago called 'The Biological Specificity of
Breastmilk" - can't recall the author (maybe Dr Gyorgy?) that mentioned that
flavors of foods going through the milk was one of the advantages of
breastfeeding, as it got the baby used to the flavors of the family diet.  It
seems that I recall a study published within the last 2 years about breastfed
kids being more willing to eat a wide range of vegetables, etc than ABM kids,
and the discussion may have included the thought that the BF kids were open
to more flavors due to exposure of tastes through breastmilk.

Anecdotally, I found it very interesting that my Korean sister-in-love's
babies didn't want just rice, but rice with hot red pepper paste like mom
ate, and rice with kimchee (VERY garlicky and strong tasting).  They would
sometimes make faces while eating it, but grabbing for more at the same time!
 I'm sure most of us have similar family stories.
