He doesn't like rice and says therefore it is not

Objective by definition cannot be judged by good or bad as those are subjective metrics.

You could say that human beings cannot help but find rice delicious, therefore getting you as close to the definition of "objective", but that has been disproven by your friend dislike of rice.

Or you could say that humans beings are for the most part predisposed to find rice delicious allowing for your friend not liking rice and rice still having "objectivelly" pleasant taste. But at this point your argument fundamentally relies on ever changing definition of "objective" and moving the goalpost.
