The phrase is directly compositional: 'gallimaufry' (a confused or mixed collection) combined with 'of flavors' yields a mixture or jumble of tastes, so a learner who knows the constituent meanings can derive the MWE. The noun + of + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English composition, making the meaning predictable for B1 learners who know the words.
Etymology
The noun gallimaufry of flavors comes from an old word for a mixed stew. Picture a big pot where cooks throw many different foods together and make a jumble of tastes, so gallimaufry and flavors together mean 'a diverse mixture of tastes'.
