Someone who really dislikes the taste of meat but lacks other objections to eating meat should not object to eating byproducts such as gelatin that don’t taste like meat, or eating small amounts of meat in a context where they can’t taste it as meat. Furthermore, they should refuse to eat vegetarian products intentionally designed to taste like meat.
That particular guy didn’t seem particularly bothered when he found out that the bread in the sandwiches he had previously eaten contained lard in its ingredients, saying that he hadn’t noticed that. I also can’t recall him ever eating meat substitutes.
And many meat products just taste different; disliking the taste of meat is a bit like disliking the taste of all products whose names begin with the letter A—it’s logically possible, but it’s an unusual category for one’s sense of taste to so exactly fit.
Then again, not all rock music sounds the same, not all alcoholic beverages taste the same, etc., but there still are people who say they don’t like rock music or alcoholic beverages. (But yeah, probably some of them are rationalizing away something.)

But it is still closer to other rock music than music from other genres.
I don’t believe taste is the reason for most people’s objection.
Have you tried the exercise on this page?
Hence the “say they” and the bit in parentheses at the end.
