People treat "not normal" as somehow bad and they want to argue when you say something is not normal but "normal" isn't subjective, it's not something you can argue. As my family was mostly teeotalers and my aunt married a teetotaling Southern Gentleman, and I lived in the Deep South a few years, I can say that both teetotaling and a strange aversion to unusual foods is not normal, or I would have met someone like that by now. It is normal to like the food you grew up with, but it is not normal to refuse to eat food you did not grow up with: I've met nobody like this past a certain age. It is not normal to be a teetotaler. The maximum size of the intersection of two sets is going to be, at most, the size of the smaller of the two sets: less normal.
There also seems, ironically, to be a new definition of the word "traditional". I've only heard people on the internet speak of tradition that way, it seems to be a modern affectation, a collection of odd positions people use to signify a mindset. It's got to be both unusual and slightly absurd or it wouldn't be useful as a signal, so none of the trad-whatever is "normal" in any sense.
