That’s funny, if I had to guess I’d have assumed if someone had issue it would be with the curds. Squeaky cheese is not for everyone

I once brought home durian ice cream from the asian market and it smelled so strongly that my wife wouldn’t let me put it in the freezer with the rest of the food

Tasted pretty good though, but it really did smell like feet. I thought that was just a meme until I tried it

From Canada I’ve never met anybody who hated poutine, although it’s almost impossible to find vegetarian unless you make it yourself. Maple syrup is also much beloved although whether that’s a food or an ingredient might be open to interpretation

For something more divisive I look at the lobster roll, or probably just lobster in particular. The traditional recipe comes from a time when lobsters were still poverty food, and it’s literally just lobster, mayo, and lettuce served on a hotdog bun. It became popular in fancy-ish restaurants and tourist traps and costs far more than it should. The simplicity of the recipe does little to hide that a lobster is a sea bug, although the flip side is that simple food is often really quite good and homey.

Honorary mention goes to dulse, a type of seaweed. This one’s a fairly popular tourist export along the coast, and while I do like a nori or roasted seaweed, I think this shit is nasty. Although I suppose the tradition is to eat it raw so I’ve never tried cooking with it, it certainly left an impression that scared me off of it

I believe the game is intended to be played without it, but there is a little secret that can give you more time.
