[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, a lot depends on how people were raised. If they didn’t eat duck, octopus, carpaccio by a certain age, they just aren’t going to be foodies, they won’t appreciate fine dining ingredients, and they are not going to be adventurous. If you cook bc you like it fine, but you have to know your SO by now OP. You can slowly introduce him to new things when you go out to eat so that he develops a more sophisticated palate. But if he is fine eating basic foods, you need to change your expectations of him.[/quote]

This is really not true.  I grew up in Appalachia and was poor.  I never had so much as lobster until I was into my twenties.

I will eat anything.  Last night I had hotpot with duck blood pate, tendon, intestines, tripe, octopus, frog legs, liver, fish intestines, pork brain….it was all delicious.  Particularly the tendon, the amazing collagen feel was divine.  The duck blood was a surprise hit as well.

Don’t automatically decide people cannot have adventurous palates just because they didn’t happen to be exposed to it young.
