Food dislikes-as guest, but will politely eat

[shootingstar]

Hmmm, interesting question.

Please don't feed me bananas. Or sweet potatoes, especially those fixed with marshmallows melted on top (shudder).

One of my nieces (she is only 18 months old) is allergic to bananas.
Sweet potatoes & melted marshmallows....I see. Sounds like something originally to tempt..children? Combo just sounds like bad fusion.

I will eat it, but not necessarily be thrilled: Spam. It astounded me that it is popular ...in Hawaii as an ingredient in some dishes. I didn't want to try anything with it when we were vacationing in Hawaii. Yes, I know the history behind it...but to me, a sad abomination for a cultural food cuisine that was more tropical produce based. Even used in some sushi...seriously...I support nouveau fusion cooking, but there are limits.

Maybe someone can explain pulled pork meat for me it terms of what constitutes good pulled pork. Again I'll eat it without complaint if served...just as I did as a child when mother pulled apart some cheaper pork cuts and "pulled" the meat off. Back then, I ate the meat in a bored way. This is the sort of memory I associate with "pulled pork"= tough poor times.
