Food dislikes-as guest, but will politely eat

[Kimmyt]

I won't eat liver or kidneys. I've tried heart and tripe and I like them both, so it's not just general organ meat. I think it's because I work with both of those organs and their roles in the body and can't get over that. Or maybe it's the texture. I'm not sure I could eat tongue.

But, if I was at someone's house and they made any of those above things, I would freely admit that I had never eaten it and am somewhat afraid to, but would give it a try.

Also, this year I joined a CSA. It was a good opportunity to broaden my vegetable experiences. I told myself I wouldn't write off any vegetables I hadn't eaten or 'liked' before. I discovered that I enjoyed cauliflower, and other items I had previously thought I disliked. I can even tolerate (or enjoy!) eggplant given the correct preparation.
