Canadian thxgiving is this weekend. Either we are eating somewhere or we are hosting a meal
Just wondering, what food or types of food dishes do you dislike but can politely eat if offered as a guest?
And food or type of food dishes you absolutely will not touch and why? (of course give your medical reasons, if applicable..)

For moi:
1. Dislike/not thrilled alot, but will politely eat as a guest:
Deep fried food --ie. fish, whatever. Yea, I'll have a doughnut occasionally. No, I'm not that keen on tempura, no matter how lovely. Very few types of deep fried Asian egg rolls excite me. I consider deep-frying fresh seafood, almost blasephemous. If it's fresh, why cover up the taste? Cook it in a way so it's more naked in taste/enhances it's original freshness.
2. Eithopian bread- injuera. Don't know why but I've never been keen on this.
3. Very sweet, heavy East Indian sweets (but love their savoury dishes!).
4. Organ meats-- tripe, heart, brain, stomach.
5. Probably lots of other stuff worldwide I haven't tried yet.
6. Overly sweetened sauces, chutneys, etc. for ...savoury dishes.
Will not touch:
Sea cucumber. (I enjoy a broad range of gelatinous-mouth feel dishes. After all, soft tofu dishes, etc. falls in this category. But sea cucumber for me, is stretching it. Have had it twice.)
I have to think about this more. Probably forgetting alot of culinary delights I've eaten so far in this short life.
