When I still ate meat, I thought beef was pretty the only kind that didn't taste horrible.

a lot of that is the feed they feed it. gamey steak is a very different taste, almost musky, you can kinda taste the grass in it too

part of it is the bland "corn-fed" diet that most cows are finished on, but a bigger part of it is just ruminant meats not having certain scents

even super gamey lamb and goat doesn't feel as "smelly" to me as pork

Huh, that's honestly really surprising to hear. Beef has one of the strongest smells and tastes, I always thought that would be the meat that people that don't really like meat would hate.

Beef is a very "clean" meat in terms of odor and taste IMO. It makes sense to me that vegetarians would be more accepting of beef than other meats (apart from chicken breast).

Ruminant meats in general have this "clean" quality to them, but beef is the mildest of the rums
