f I was in your... hm, what *do* you wear on your feet... I'd do exactly as you do. Humans are humans wherever you go and nobody likes being poisoned generally speaking, I suspect I could eat anything given the circumstances and find something to enjoy with it. I *did* accidentally eat tripe once. I smiled, not knowing what it was. Ate it. Smiled. Found out what it was. Ignored the gagging reflex from first touch to the tongue to the end and finished my serving like a good guest. I suppose had I been in an environment where tripe was a daily ritual, after a short time I'd adjust. But I like surprising my tastebuds, so I rather envy your culinary exploits.
