I get the "snout to tail" approach, and why those dishes came to be: people ate what they could, because the alternative was not to eat at all.

I do eat things others would think are "gross" like haggis, insects, organs, weird spices and exotic meats, and other local dishes when travelling. I'll try most foods (except the ones I'm allergic to obviously).

The foods that gross me out most are the ones that take foods and turn it into something truly vile for no obvious purpose. I get the pickling of veggies, salting or drying of fish and meat to keep them edible, but some things are just really taking it one step too far.

I could see this, though. It's still ham and I would consider that to be "normal" food no matter how it's prepared. I was talking about things that don't even sound normal. Brains, assholes, shit like that LOL.
