Have you tried all these foods and did not like the taste, or is it a mental thing that after years of not eating them, you find just the thought of it unappetizing.

I tried shrimp and crab and they did nothing for me taste wise. The thought of eating pork is nauseating to me, probably because of my upbringing. I've never tried lobster, nor do I want to. I feel the way the wife's grandmother did - the persons who first tried lobster had to be pretty hungry. It's an ugly creature, not that cows or chickens are things of beauty, it's just lobster looks like a big bug to me. I'm into Bizarre Foods (ironically, Andrew Zimmern is a Jew).
I do eat burgers and such at fast food places and eat at non-kosher restaurants. I guess my taste in food is more towards "kosher style," and to answer your question, after so many years of not eating certain traife (sp.?) foods, why should I try now?
It is a mental and quasi-religious thing; is the best way I can describe it.
BTW Pruzhany, I've been eating Bacos for years, and yes I know it tastes like bacon, the one pork product I've tasted and liked the flavor, but I can't bring myself to eat it again because it comes from a pig.
