It seems the addictive substances in cooked foods are more commonly referred to as "beta-carbolines" :-

Re taste issues:- It isn't only a question of taste. It's also a question of habit. For example, I remember a very early time in my life when I found dairy to taste truly foul(even raw dairy), but, after several years of it being forced on me as part of my diet(due to the wrongheaded notion that it built up calcium levels), I started getting hopelessly addicted to it, no doubt due to the opioids, but habit helped to overcome my initial negative taste-reaction.
