I have to tell you that you impressed me. You didn't say that it was
nasty or disgusting or anything, you just made it clear that you are
not one who enjoys unusual foods. I think that's great and an
excellent way to state your feelings! Thanks!

I am one of the people who will try almost anything, providing that
the person suggesting it has a bite first, to prove it is not a joke
of some kind.

I've been pleasantly surprised at some of the enjoyable flavors I've
tasted while eating some very unusual foods and combinations of foods.

The show "Bizarre Foods" had an episode where the "Bloodline" of a
Tuna is cooked and eaten in a Japanese restaurant. In Japan and
everywhere else I know of on earth, the bloodline is thrown
away...always!

Well, I asked a local fish shop to save some for me and I cooked it
exactly as the guy on the show did. DAMNED if it didn't taste and have
the exact texture of well done beef roast! It surprised me so much
that I will have it many times in the future. Especially if the shop
keeps just giving it to me. (I especially like that part). The shop
owner screwed up his face and looked at me like I was insane when I
told him I wanted to try eating it.

My point being that most of the odd foods I've tried were good. You
just have to get over the "Oh no, you aren't eating THAT are you?" in
your own mind.
