Traveling can make you hungry and open you up to new tastes as well. In Italy I tried donkey meat ragu and did not find it something I would order again. Not bad, but lots of things better. I did come back from Italy with a strong appreciation for Italian sparkling mineral water.
Scotland is famous for Haggis and most people like it until they find out what it is made from. I like it. I also like skurely and black pudding.
Ireland has lots of great dishes, but shepherd's pie is almost always a good choice. Colcannon is wonderful.
If you don't like kidney, try any other of the English pies. There is a pub on Rathburn Street in London that is worth the trip. If you need to, lug a small bottle of Tabasco along when going to the UK.
Having grown up working in the Chinese community, I admittedly like some nontraditional dishes. But, I had found it best to try something and enjoy it without asking what is in it. It is like eating sushi.
You don't have to be adventurous, just willing to try things. You know that for generations people thought that tomatoes were poison and did not eat them. And, who cured and ate the first olive?
