I grew up living with my Dad. His rule was try one bite of a new food, if you don't like it then you don't have to eat it. There wasn't too much he didn't like. Dad didn't like eggplant, beef kidneys, head cheese (gross made from pig parts...lol My mom loved it).
My dislikes are: Eggplant, liverwurst, pimento cheese, cole slaw (husband says the slaw I make is delicious, so he is the taster), spaghetti squash, oysters.
