Raw kidney. Not out of politeness though, but curiosity. Done with that

Years ago I was in a fancy restaurant in Soul, Korea with several American importers in the same industry I was in. We had all had several drinks and the conversation was getting loud and rowdy. Food was served on a big turn table in the middle of the dinning table and we took want we wanted from many different dishes. There was a funny looking fish dish among the other dishes that the guys I was with began loudly laughing at and making fun of how terrible the dish looked. We were foreigners and their rude attitude was loud, obnoxious, and made me angry. So I spun the turn table around, scooped up a chunk of that weird fish thing, and quickly ate it in one bite. I wanted to show those guys it wasn't so bad. It was, however, absolutely the most terrible thing I ever put in my mouth. I had made a scene, everybody was looking at me, and no choice but to give it a couple quick chews and swallow it down. It was unbelievably horrible and I was very lucky I didn't throw up! I guess I sort of made my point...?

spider cuisine. Don't google it if you don't have a strong stomach.

Some home-made pizza that my mom'a friend's husband made. He was on a low-salt, low cholesterol diet and his pizza was unbearable! He also made some salt-free peanut butter in his blender and that was pretty awful, too. I was 12 at the time and would have gotten,in trouble if I had refused to try it or if I had said anything unfavorable about the pizza or peanut butter!

Rabbit meat. I know it is a popular choice among health-conscious consumers based on its lower calorie and cholesterol levels. But to me, it feels awkward, thinking I am eating Bugs Bunny. I prefer chicken, turkey, pork and beef.

Chicken Liver

I don't think I'd eat it if it were really bad. I've faked eating a mud pie. My ex ate chicken I undercooked when we first got married. I asked why he didn't tell me when I saw the bone. He said he didn't want to hurt my feelings. Ha! That didn't last long!

Home cooked foods that are spicy or badly cook

When I was a kid, I was invited to eat with a friend I was hanging out with. I watched his mother take ground beef and mixed it with chopped red onions and minced garlic and some chopped parsley and S&P. Then she mixed in some chopped boiled eggs. I thought she was making hamburger patties to fry, and that the eggs were a weird addition. Then she made toast and everybody spread that raw meat on the toast and ate it! I was appalled. They told me it was called "steak tartare" and that it's really popular in Germany, where they were from. I managed to get 1 piece down, and politely declined seconds. 7/23/24
