I think every family has its "odd" tastes, things that no other family makes, or at least isn't common.
I've mentioned the Swiss cheese fondue I make. Fondue had a period of real popularity back in the late 60's early 70's. So that's not really all that strange.
However, we've been on a lot of cruises and we've been willing to try new stuff. Now, I've only ordered lobster once in my life anywhere but on a cruise. However...
We found we DID like escargots. I know, it sounds gross to most Americans. But let me be honest here. Escargots don't taste like anything; all you taste is the butter and garlic, really.
So, we got some escargot plates, and we make fauxcargots. What I do is sautee some little button mushrooms, and then put them in the escargot plate with the butter and garlic. Good, and not gross!
