When I taught in Japan, I took advantage of some Saturday bus trips for Americans. We went different places, but we usually stopped mid-morning for a rest stop by the same resort lake. Someone on the trip recommended Unagi pies, a delicious pastry sold there. It was a "thing" among the bus trip participants. Once you were let in on it, you couldn't wait to get one. It was delicious. Not long before I left Japan, I paid attention to what "unagi" meant! My delicious pastry contained ground up eel - YUCK!!! I never had one again. **shudder**

But at the time that you were actually eating it, you thought that was delicious, right?

So before you knew what unagi was, you actually liked it.

@beach-mom it's kind of like when you first find out what calamari really is . . .

Oh yeah. I don't "do" calamari.

What's a real bummer is that whenever I have a meal at a nearby tourist-laden wharf, most of the restaurants give you a free appetizer. It is - you guessed it! I can eat a couple of bites to be polite without gagging, but can't manage more than that.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all
