Well, to me it's sinful to compare good Greek pita bread to a tortilla, particularly corn tortilla, which totally sucks in my book.
I wasn't comparing tortilla bread to pita bread at all, simply the manner in which it was made and what it looks like -a greek version of a burrito. I also refer to egg foo young as a Chinese version of omeletes even though they don't look like an omelete the concept is the same.
That reaffirms my belief that I'd not like it...most of those things that are "acquired tastes"....I don't go for.
You know, I'm very conservative food-wise and very few things grow on me, but surprisingly enough I fell in love with something here that not only I'd never had growing up, but it's even "good for you" - broccoli! The weird part is I don't like fresh broccoli; I like frozen broccoli! I love it stir-fried with shrimp. Big shrimp and lobster are other things I didn't have in the past. We only had teeny-tiny shrimp sold boiled on the streets. Love them both now!
I'm not much of a cook, but I think you might like my lamb. I believe mint is about the same even though I use imported mint. All I do is salt it, put some mint and paprika on it, and shove it in the oven (350; it doesn't take too long to cook). I like these little loin chops (TJ's carries them) or lamb shanks.
Welll, I keep forgetting that I spent years in NYC...there are so many places there that serve lamb. From street vendors on every corner to middle eastern restaurants. I didn't realize that so many people haven't tried lamb. To me its as shocking as hearing "I haven't tried chicken. I do agree that its an acquired taste. I like my lamb as a kebab or gyro. Otherwise, its too gamey.

I don't do "gamey". However, I have a venison recipe that is out of this world delicious, but that's about the only way I'll eat it.

Too funny. I had a broccoli awakening myself, just a few years ago.
Just the way you described your preparations makes me salivate.
I love lamb, but not all cuts as much these two. The fat gets so crispy and yummy! I started eating it more when I was obsessing about my diet (you know...) and now it's a regular staple at home, even though it is pricey...

Now, Brussels sprouts, on the other hand... That was a one-time adventure!
UGH. No effin' way. I've hated them since I was a child.
Same thing for me. I can't touch brussel sprouts.
Neither can I do peas.
