Oh man, some of the food I encountered in China totally repulsed me. I did eat some of the blood-chunk soup, but I avoided the blood chunks.
Growing up, our food was always very HEALTHY, which often meant boring or gross. I endured a lot of meals by dousing them with ketchup. Thankfully we ate out a lot, often going for Chinese. When I was about eight, we started eating Vietnamese and that was a life-changer. Love that food. I don't eat it much now because a) I'm pescetarian and b) rice vermicelli is no longer my friend, but I have enjoyed it in the past. I am glad my parents didn't allow us to be picky.
