How much does good taste matter?

I started wondering today how much matching (or at least compatable) tastes, in terms of food and drink, matter in a relationship. Normally, I'd say that unless one person has special dietary concerns, or is /really/ picky or serious about food, it shouldn't make that much difference. Or is it just that we self select, peole we're atracted to are going to have similar tastes anyway? I honestly have not idea. What I _do_ know is that both of my ex-girlfriends commented their agreement on my FB status about missing rumors, and only they commented.
