A co-worker had brought in a box of desserts from his recent vacation to India. I've noticed that most people looked at the box and said no thanks. I mean not even a nibble to try before totally rejecting it? Being that I to try new things I tried a piece. Although the flavors were different and something I'm not use to, it was by no means bad or would make anyone want to spit it back out in disgust. I think there are cultural reasons why a person chooses to step out of the box of what their taste buds may be use to. Me being a first generation Asian-American, I grew up having raised to always try this or that and if you didn't you would be looked at poorly.
To me most Americans only want to eat what they know and what they are use to. I say "man-up" its not going to kill you to taste something new. Maybe you will even enjoy it and open up you tastes senses to a whole new flavor.
But I guess for now just means more for me to enjoy. :-)
