While reading some posts, I've noticed that many of us say we wouldn't eat a certain food a certain way - ever! But, what if you were visiting a particular region, somewhere "that" certain way was the norm.
For instance: I don't like sushi. I've tried it several times from very reputable places. I've dined out with my hubby and our son who raved about the sushi they were eating while I noshed on something else. BUT...if I were in Japan, I would take a taste of it. Pretty sure my opinion wouldn't change because it's more the texture than the flavor that is off-putting to me. Still, I would try.
I'm hesitant to try strongly seasoned foods. BUT...when we were in Charleston, South Carolina I tried the regional foods. I now make Gullah and Lowcountry style meals at home. Still can't make friends with Tasso ham, though.
So...even though you say you would "never" eat a food a certain way, would you be willing to try if that was a specialty of the area?
