chacun à son goût

chacun à son goût

English Phrase

Definition

Used to acknowledge that different people have different tastes or preferences.

Etymology

Mutation of the French à chacun son goût (“to each his own taste”), typically heard amongst Laurentian, Quebecois and Louisiana Francophones. The well-known aria by this name in the Strauss opera Die Fledermaus may have helped establish the mutation.
