palate and tastes

Hi,

When talking about food, what is the difference between someone's palate and someone's tastes?

For example, "Sally's palate disgusts him, but he can understand her tastes." What does this mean?

Thanks,
Rino

Thank you.

If he is a newly turned vegetarian who saw Sally's eating meat, are the two terms still synonymous?
