It's entirely possible to have this instead:
[tastes]

## Tastes are used in chatting dialogue, and for flavor only. You may include answers that are not in vanilla choices.
## Leave the line out or set it to 'None' (without quotes) to randomize

favorite_color = "blue"
favorite_food = "fish"
favorite_drink = "apple juice"

disliked_color = "black"
disliked_food = "bread"
disliked_drink = "beer"


hobbies = ["singing", "weaving"] # Hobbies must be a list of two items.

The only real problem is when you don't specify a dislike but do give a non-vanilla taste/food/drink. The game then hiccups due to trying to find a disliked colour/food/drink that does not have the same vanilla colour index as the non-vanilla liked colour/food/drink.

Knowing about that quirk is very useful, but I wanted a list of vanilla tastes specifically to tailor what gifts the girl would like. But thinking about it again, this may only affect colored flowers. And I assume any basic color would work.

Still, a list of vanilla origins in a comment could be useful.

Well, all the vanilla background stuff is in BKinit_variables.rpy:
    origins = ["Zan", "the border with the Holy Lands", "the Blood Islands", "Karkyr", "Westmarch", "the desert of Hokoma", "Borgo, the port city", "the Goliath desolations", "the Arik mountains"]
    ...
    hobbies = ["painting", "singing", "playing music", "hiking", "gambling", "shopping", "reading", "weaving", "swimming", "writing"]

    colors = ["white", "yellow", "red", "green", "blue", "purple", "orange", "pink", "black"]

    food = ["cake", "cream", "fish", "fruit", "meat", "cookies", "sweets", "chocolate", "bread", "rice"]

    drinks = ["milk", "sake", "wine", "beer", "apple juice", "lemon juice", "mango juice", "spice water"]

But you're right, gift tastes besides flowers are not affected by these, and are instead based on personalities and thus somewhat random.

Thank you very much for pointing this out.

hi, my bk.ini didnt work correct, how can I check where there is a mistake? Only manually?

Don't think there's an automatic tool.

Might try generating the same .ini via the old tagger tool (not v3+).

What's wrong with it, anyway?

for some reason this didnt work
## Sex Acts ##
## You can choose positive or negative acts which will be generated more often for this girl (possible choices are naked, service, sex, anal, fetish, bisexual and group).

favorite_acts = [sex, fetish]
disliked_acts = [anal]

same for stats

before it favorite food didnt work but i fix it

Those need to be in quotes:
favorite_acts = ["sex", "fetish"]
disliked_acts = ["anal"]

Also, I don't think these actually affect favourite/disliked acts as such. They just modify which fixations can generate on that girl, and said fixations are ultimately what determines their favourite/disliked acts.



Edit: You should actually look at the new-ish example _Bk.ini in 'game'. That one actually tells you to use quotes:
## Sex Acts ##
## You can choose positive or negative acts which will be generated more often for this girl (possible choices are: "naked", "service", "sex", "anal", "fetish", "bisexual" and "group").

favorite_acts = ["bisexual"] # (Boa Hancock comes from an all-girl island and resents men)
disliked_acts = []


i have test it with quote too
and girl have random favorite acts
ok ill fix it, just wondering mb i can check it somehow

As I said, 'favorite_acts' doesn't give you actual favourite acts. It merely increases the chances of acquiring a fixation that will then cause the girl to have said act(s). But chances being chances, there's no guarantee you'll actually get the act(s) you specified.
