Foods that you didn't think you'd like

Wow, that's exotic Duke I'm impressed

Don't be too impressed, I didn't know what I was eating until late in the meal. I thought I was eating beef stew and pork ribs. The warthog ribs I really liked, similar to pork ribs we get here, but more flavorful and meaty.

I get it, I didn't know I was eating horse in Belgium fr about six months. Sorry Lynne I know you'll be horrified.
 
Whoever decided that a bottom dwelling mudsucker fish with whiskers tossed in lemon pepper could be considered edible and served as an expensive dish in large cities... was a genius.

Because where my roots are from, we know them as a dirty and nasty necessity to help keep the already toxic rivers they live in just a little less likely to cause flesh eating gaping wounds on accidental skin contact.

BON Appétit!
LOL

Frogs legs. Ate them on a dare, and by George, they DO taste a lot like chicken! lol

Now, thought I would love Blue Cheese dressing because I like cheese. I was very, very, very wrong.
Frog legs. I ate them. I was 12. I was a victim of a father who was hell bent on making sure his daughters tried every single weird food discovery during you roaming around young days, and then the ones from when he was in the Army.
Then add on whatever else you can think of, yup. Most of the time we had no clue what we were eating. Well, it's hard not to notice you're eating a pig's foot. So I guess some were pretty obvious.

I love that dressing. MMM
Not because I'm a cheese fan though. Because it isn't what Americans would consider a typical cheese taste.

Didn't think I would like calamari ended up being tricked into eating it as "onion rings" I enjoyed it.

Oh, need to be humbled here. In high school I used to help my GFs family raise rabbits for food.

Once we made sweet-and-sour rabbit and asked our friends to try it. We only told them what the protein was after everyone told us they really liked it.

Hey! There’s a hare in my lo mein!”

I think that's why I can't eat rabbit now.I was staying/working at a remote property years ago.Every night we were served rabbit done different ways.Once a fortnight the workers went to the pub for dinner and beers.A Chinese couple did the cooking there,I was really looking forward to some beef and pork dishes.The horror on the workers faces when we hit the pub and read the menu'sweet and sour rabbit' was priceless.I stayed one more week at the job then headed back to civilization and real food.
