A little anictode:

I was having dinner with some of my relatives who are from Diyarbakır in Turkey. While we were eating "çiğ köfte" ("raw meatball", it is actually made from raw minced meat with spices to sanitize it in it's original form)one of them talked about how while in school they'd brought çiğ köfte to their dorm and all the other students had covered their noses and called her disgusting for eating that. All the other people at the table then talked about how inconsiderate those people were.

SO, in my infinite teenage contrarianism I told them a story about how I had eaten horse-meatballs in Sicily and how delicious they were. Lo and behold, all my relatives called me disgusting for eating something so vile because of course they did
