"Sushi has been consumed in Japan for more than 1,000 years but the Japanese had historically preferred tuna, seeing raw salmon as parasite-ridden and unpleasant to the palette. "
English isn't my first language and even I know "palette" is wrong. Is it normal for official news outlets to write stuff like this?
Perhaps a happy accident.
I'm sure you've never made a typo or mixed up two similar words before.
I'm a native English speaker and before your comment, I never noticed that palette, pallet, and palate are different words!
Maybe they are painting the fish and find the experience unenjoyable? :)
