I've had quite a few exotic dishes. Pre-kids, we'd hit up amazing restaurants that served nine course pairing meals, meaning the food was paired with a specific wine.
At first, reading the menu would gross me out. I was like "I am NOT eating THAT". So the chef always had dishes for lame people like me. Funny enough, I'd taste my wife's dish and would be completely blown away.
After dining at two restaurants and realizing I was acting the fool, I finally decided to not read the menu, trust the chef and enjoy. And man, did I enjoy!
Regardless, it never ceases to amaze me how closed minded Americans are towards food. They'll happily eat multiple McDonalds burgers and fries per meal, but won't taste herb crusted bone marrow with a wine reduction sauce.
