I will try most of what I was given. There is, however, one I can say with 100% certainty that I won't.
A couple of days ago I was gifted a box of snack foods from around the world, snack foods that not only trace the history of food on the planet, but that also expose you to the different tastes that different cultures represent--
There are some familiar foods in the package, including chocolates from both France & Germany, as well as other items you might normally never get the chance to try, including dandelion pop, pine-flavored hard candies, and hazelnut-carrot Turkish Delight. I'm looking forward to sampling those, as well as, say, the purple yam snack cakes or the Indian-spiced corn nuggets and green peas. But, if I'm being totally honest, there's one I have no desire to sample at all--
The haggis and cracked black pepper potato crisps--
I had no idea that anyone would even consider making haggis and cracked black pepper potato crisps, but a company in England does. I'm guessing you know what haggis is, but in case you don't, it's a Scottish dish made from a sheep's heart & lungs, oatmeal, spices, & suet, all cooked in an animal stomach until it's nice and, uhm, ready to eat. I don't know if there are many (if any) people who would eat haggis.
I'm guessing there are even fewer who would want to eat haggis flavored potato chips.
I have no idea what I'll do with the chips; maybe just hang onto them and, every so often, look at them and wonder to myself “what were they thinking”? But if you have enough guts to give them a try, let me know, and I might slide them your way.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the box. But the haggis and cracked black pepper potato crisps?
Uhm...not so much.
