Answer 1

My ex is from Norway. One Christmas he invited me to go there to met his WHOLE family. everything was going great until Christmas dinner. They served this dish that had Lutefisk. I never have even heard of such a thing, but i wanted to be polite. So i ate some and than around the last bite i could not eat anymore. So i said i was going to the bathroom and ran into there and spat it out. I came out and they where all laughing. they said they knew i did not like it, but was impressed that i would try it. They than let me have pizza with the little kids. very nice people. check this out..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk

I cant say when my mum cooked Tripe i ate it without complaint, It was the worst t hing i've eaten, But i did complain. The worst i have eaten without complaining was a steak that I'm sure didnt even touch the frying pan *insert sickly face here* I like meat cooked!!!!!

That and some casseroles i've stomached out of politeness.

Answer 3

O my,
i would never do that to myself !!!
I eat very little as it is, if someone gives
me something to eat and i can't eat it
i leave it on the plate so maybe next
time they won't give it to me ....
Although sometimes it takes a few times to
get the point across, I kept telling my friend that
i never eat cheese, yet i was always getting cheese
on my food, and i just kept leaving it all on the plate ..
I think they finally got the hint !!!!
How about politeness toward the eater with a bit
of respect of our desires & dislikes for certain foods ...

My Grandma's neighbor hosted Thanksgiving dinner one year when my grandparents were sick and my Grandma didn't feel well enough to cook the whole shebang. Anna (the neighbor) boiled the turkey. She put whole eggs in the stuffing. They were barely soft-boiled. The stuffing had the texture of runny bread pudding with the eggs, anchovies, green olives, and golden raisins in it. The turkey was really bloody inside. It was awful, and is probably one of the reasons I'm vegetarian today. Also, at that dinner, another elderly neighor choked on a turkey bone and threw up in her plate. We had to call an ambulance. (At least she got out of eating the rest, which is more than I can say for myself.) It really disturbed me as a kid. (Aaahhhh, memories.)

In France.... horse meat. No, listen to how then prepare it. It looks like a big square of raw ground beef. They warm it, first one side, then the other, so it still LOOKS red and raw and bloody, but it feels warm. Then, they mash it down, so there's a well on top. They break a RAW EGG into the hole of raw, warm, horse meat, add some ketchup to flavor, and eat up. Oh barfaroni! I can't even eat a pink hamburger!!! It was gaglicious. PS. I loved Foie Gras (fatty liver paté), Escargots (snails), cuises de grenouille (frog legs) and live oysters... but I couldn't do the raw horsemeat with raw egg.

Answer 7

When I was a kid I was visiting my grandfather's big old stately home down south. His cook made us a meat dish and I was starving and dug right in. They all watched me for my approval. There was something in the texture...and the smell... liver. I stopped, smiled and said it was good, and then went into that dry heave thing where you can't quite puke but you can't hold your face still either - kind of like when you're changing a really ripe diaper of a solid food eating toddler.
