In my senior year of college, I took a course called Foods, Society, and Health for my minor in Nutrition. This course was given twice a week dividing it up into lecture/lab. During the lab, we would prepare meals that pertained to the culture previously discussed. So during our "Greek" week, I made Baklava which is a famous dessert along with Greek Chicken and Egg Lemon Soup. I must admit, it was very tasty.
I would consider myself very open to trying different foods from other cultures. However, PORK is a no, no for me.
