Every culture has a food thing that every other culture thinks is gross. I will give some examples. My family comes from Guatemala, my mom has a few things she loves that I won’t touch with a ten-foot pole, Menudo, and pigs feet are her thing, definitely not mine. Others from Nordic backgrounds have things like Lutefisk, a fish and lye combo that does not appeal to me, but hey that is their own tradition so I say, go for it! There are others dishes using squid ink, cow tongue or other animals or parts which I consider non-edible but again, not my culture. The funny thing to me is that most of these grew out on necessity, people did not have the convenience or going to the grocery store to pick out the best little slice of their favorite animal, no they had to survive and so they took the less desirable parts and added some ingredient that was plentiful and cooked it in a way that made it palatable and viola, you ended up with what we now have as a special treat from the old country! The best part is if you order it in a restaurant you now pay top dollar for what was survival instincts food a thousand years ago. I don’t want to damper your enthusiasm for your favorites, I too get nostalgic over some foods which bring back memories of those who are no longer with us, I just find it funny how much we are willing to pay for those memories!
