IIIIIII haven't had ANYTHING from that region.
Growing up I learned to be a complete asshole about food. But it's not about presentation, or smell, or even flavor for me (those things can have an impact on my perception, but they're honestly not top-priority).... but there are certain textures that I just don't enjoy in my mouth. Typically soft/chewy foods with an underlying crunch, like onions. Textures can be a straight up dealbreaker for me when it comes to sitting down for a meal.
I've been making an effort to branch out and try new stuff the past few years, though. One of these days I swear to God, I'm gonna pull up to CAVA and tell Gabby to just hook up whatever dish SHE'D want to eat at the moment.
Don't think I'll go wrong with that method but fuuuuuuuuuuck I'm kind of scared of chickpeas.
One thing that sort of amazes me: I've lived 35 years without ever seeing peanuts cooked in an entree
Fuckin' blew my mind, dude. I thought the only way to eat them was oven-roasted.
