I am quite interested in this one ...
I know that there is a lively thread on Japanese foods not liked by others - but what of the reverse ?
I know of several foods in the West, for instance that are not appreciated in the East - indeed, even many Westerners do not share a liking for everything we eat !
Personally I am fond of "offal" - liver, tripe, chitterlings etc, etc. I believe in Japan, 'tripe' is called 'garakuta' (窶堋ェ窶堙ァ窶堋ュ窶堋ス). I have prepared it "Japanese style" - it was gorgeous !
Given that so many dishes from Japan (and other countries too ... ) are so daunting to Western tastes - I would love to know what constitutes ... revulsion ... ?
(By the way - the most awful food I've ever tried has to be Scandinavian "Roll-Mop Herring" - and I have Viking ancestry ... !)
