Although I’ve adopted a generally carnivore diet, I’m not quite that adventurous yet

Actually you just reminded me of something years ago working in China. We had galley for locals and expats. One day, walked in for breakfast and looked round and nearly went to counter on the Chinese buffet. Colleague grabbed me a pulled me towards the door. “You’re still new here, not sausage mate, that’s bulls penis”. Maybe the Chinese have already adopted trying with strawberry jelly!
