A lot of us will have a particular cuisine associated with our background in some way. This might be the national cuisine of the country we live in; the regional cuisine of the specific area of that country; or perhaps the ethnic cuisine associated with our ancestors. Many of us will probably like some of these dishes; however, we may not have eaten all of them, or we may actively dislike certain food associated with our background. What are yours?
To start with my national cuisine (British): I have never had a full English breakfast. I don't think I'd want to either: I actively dislike the sausages and the eggs, and even the rest of the ingredients are only tolerable at best. I'd also never had a Yorkshire pudding until very recently: I only ate them for the first time a month or so ago. They were pretty good, and I'd have them again - but, at the same time, I don't feel as though I'd missed out on too much .
As for ethnic cuisine... I'm one-quarter Norwegian, and I don't eat Norwegian food at all. It's very seafood-based, which isn't something I'm very big on - and some recipes (such as lutefisk) just sound nasty. And, when I went to Norway and saw a place that had whale burgers for sale... no, just no .
So, what about you?
