There are foods I don't like, but I will force them down. Most foods I will eat. I think I can thank my 5th grade teacher. He read
How to Eat Fried Worms to us. After he finished the book, we ate worms. He prepared them in a variety of ways, and I kept being disappointed he wouldn't pick me to try them. Finally he had one raw. Yup, that was me.
Not too long ago, I was reading about a missionary who was in Thailand. He was on a boat with a bunch of fishermen and they gave him something green to try and told him most Americans didn't like it. He wanted to blend in so he tried it. Turns out it was fish feces.
Last summer, I drove back from Fargo, and stopped in Dickinson for Chinese food. They had octopus on the buffet, as in cute little intact ones. They were a bit rubbery, and the flavor was nothing special. However, this might out me off:
