It's another reason why traveling to exotic places is not very high on my to-do list. The food that is consumed in some of these places is generally disgusting enough to nearly put me off of mine. Ugh.
If I took a vacation to the islands I assume they have fish and coconuts and pineapples and normal things, so that's still on the list. Just haven't made it yet.
Visiting a place where people eat food that one finds strange or disconcerting doesn't necessitate eating that food oneself, you know. Especially these days, pretty much anywhere on Earth has at least some elements of its cuisine that Americans would consider more or less 'normal', or at least interesting and worth trying out if not.
