After numerous compliments on the "yellowfin sashimi", I told them it was little tunny.

Not me but my future BIL.
My future wife was and is a huge animal lover (nothing like that you sicko's). She helped raise a calf named Norman until it was full grown. One day Norman was gone and she was distraught. During a steak supper some weeks later while she is chewing on a steak dinner my future BIL looks at her and pipes up " Dad, this is some really good Norman isn't it?" It took a while to register but she left the meal in tears. She isn't a vegan or anything but if I tease her about Norman while eating beef, I still get a very dirty look. |

One of the biggest mistakes I made in my life was telling my gf that wine had calories in it. She thought that alcohol is a clear liquid, water is a clear liquid, water has no calories, therefore alcohol has no calories. Before that, she would have a glass or two of wine with dinner, and was, shall be say a great deal of fun. Afterwards, not so much.

Nothing good, but it's always fun to tell people mahi mahi is actually dolphin. They usually choke for a bit before you say no the fish not the mammal.

My wife's dad used to tell her all kinds of weird shit to tease her about food. Pork chops were giraffe neck etc. As a kid she trusted nothing they cooked.
When I met her she had barely tried anything. no Chinese, no Mexican, maybe 10 or so dishes and that's it. Until two years ago she never ate seafood and she's 51. |

Never did it to someone but someone did to me. Years ago before I was married I lived alone, one of my Dominican neighbor brought me Mondongo when I was sick. I’m sitting there halfway done with my soup when he tells me the main ingredient is tripe.

When we were kids my grandmother (full Polish) use to make polish sausage for us and I once asked her what was in it, the real stuff not the smoked crap Hormel sells. My brothers were big eaters, I would wait until they were about done with their first helping and then tell them what was in it, there was always plenty for me to eat when I did that.

Andouille, and Boudin sausage.
Told a friend who bought some "You want to kook that thoroughly, it's natural casing". He thought that meant "small intestine" with those sausages. It doesn't |

I had a guy visit from Colombia for a business deal and took him out to a Pacific Northwest style restaurant that served raw oysters. He was really excited to try them, since they cost like $8 a pop in Colombia. He loved them and ate about 6.
I then remarked, "yeah, and the interesting part is that they are actually still alive". He didn't eat any more. |

When my wife and I got married I found a awesome deal on veal, literally cheaper than beef because it was a friends calfs and he had to call his stock.
Wife still wants to hit me when she sees a baby cow, and calls me a asshole for not telling her it was veal chilli and steak. |

I've always had a hard time respecting people who don't like something for irrational reasons. I think it's childish and stupid.
If you liked it before you knew what it was, then guess what? You still like it! |

I've been on the other side of people attempting this to me many, many times. In college I had a half-Vietnamese roommate whose mom taught him all of the "this makes roundeyes gag" recipes, in HS one of my best friends was Indian and his mom would do the whole "curry threshhold/gross out" test on all his white boy friends; I've dated Lebanese, Korean, Norwegian, Swedish, Welsh, Colombian, South African and Amish (seriously, look at my location) chicks to name a few from cultures with questionable (to American tastes) cuisines/ingredient lists and never had a problem with anything they cooked for me even after they said,"Did you know you just ate (whatever)..." Because the way I see it if it's good it's good and knowing it was "gross" after the fact isn't going to change the fact: That it was good. Also I have always been into trying new food so am pretty up on what those things are, so if someone offers me something I've never had before 90% of the time I already know what's in it and they're not really going to be able to "trick" me after the fact. Also because I'm half Scottish (a nation whose entire cuisine is based on drunken dares) and half Sicilian (a people who literally use every part of every animal they consume to the point they make Scots look reasonable in some regards) I was basically bred to be able to eat anything on the planet without being grossed out. In fact, there's basically only one thing I'll never, ever eat and that's Yemeni sausages, because I know how they're traditionally made already and I don't want to fucking die so I'd never accept one in the first place to flip-flop on how I thought it tasted afterwards. |

The yearly Christmas dinner at Boeing years ago on the International Space Station, 4755 building, 4th floor, the ECLSS group. I brought in chili in a crock pot.
One of our teammates was semi-Muslim or whatever and didn't eat pork. Had some of my chili and thanked me for bringing it, he really liked it. I told him thanks in return, glad he liked the wild hog I made it out of . He went back and got a 2nd helping. Go figure. |

My granddad fed my little brother and I fried chicken one night. It was good, but I knew it wasn't chicken. After we kept pressing him, he told us it was the rabbits from his hutch out back. We just assumed he raised them because he liked rabbits. I learned not to treat his animals like pets anymore. Quote HistoryQuoted:

She takes care of chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, goats, and several other critters that are all food. That happened several years ago though. Now it's sorta funny when it gets brought up. |
