you ought to be glad he only tried the ears and not all the other 'bits' on offer (if you look)
:)
erm, glad to say that my other half has a similar world-view to mine and therefore no such peer-pressure applies - we like to try local delicacies but try not to go too far off-beam. We did stray too far once on a trip to Burgundy. Have you tried <a href="andouillettes? " target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andouillette">andouillettes? I quote a small paragraph from the article:
"French andouillette, on the other hand, is an acquired taste and can be an interesting challenge even for adventurous eaters who don't object to the taste or aroma of feces."
I'm guessing the author didn't enjoy them either!
One for Ryan maybe?

he he he!
Not only that, but (s)he uses it several times.
I must point out that the term "faeces" or anything related, was not found on the dishes description on the menu when we ordered it. Although I managed to eat most of mine, I can reflect back on the occasion and recall the sort of aromas they refer to.
Don't worry Gabriella, with time the memory fades. This was only 6 years ago for me!
It's not a wine blog but he does posts on food and drink...
As for the orejas for love: I guess we just don't love each other that much. ;)

I take it from the opposite view actually as I am an incredibly adventurous eater, who pressures others (kinda like Ryan). "If you don't try this, you are severely missing out!! You must!!" -- usually my mantra. But now I am dating someone who is not only very strictly kosher but a picky eater. So I'm learning to not chastise him when he orders his avocado cucumber rolls and adapting to eating in a lot of kosher jaunts. I can save my meals of tripe and foie gras for girlfriends or family, if it means I can share a meal with him.

Also not a wine blog, but this site on Greek wines is done by a local wine distributor and has lots of good info.
I am generally fairly adventurous when it comes to eating. I will try most anything, though there are exceptions. When I was in Spain this past fall, I ate some things I had not had before, including a pig's tail. I loved the Morcilla. I did draw the line though at the lamb testicle. My wife did try it and encouraged me to do the same, but despite my love for her, I just couldn't do it.

O.K. , gang. While most of these foods fall under the list of cultural hangover remedies, I still have an empty stomach here in the California time zone! I guess I fall between Gabi and Ryan; I'll try almost anything, but have learned to resist saying, "Oh. That's good...very interesting...Yes, Si, Oui, Ja. I'll have some more " out of mere cultural sensitivity while my innards churn. My darling wife is as polite as they come, but has nowhere near the undying devotion to my adventurous spirit that the Familia Opaz shares.

When I order 'andouillette' in a restaurant, my other half Kathryn disowns me and sits at a table as far away as possible. Yes, andouillete does have a whiff of something dangerous, but is exciting and challenging (and brilliant with Premier Cru Chablis). The world divides into those who adore durian and those who reject it, with its coffee-creamy flavour and faint odour of rotting meat. No prizes for guessing that I'm among the former, and Kathryn the latter.
What I object to about pig's ears is their blandness. The Portuguese use them for texture. Er, sort of crunchy, since you ask. And I was once led into a tapas bar in Haro, Rioja, with the promise of an unusual speciality. A plate arrived, with three battered and deep-fried, um, objects. You've guessed it, ears. Pig, lamb and calf. To me, a pointless exercise in fat ingestion. I want my food to have flavour, even if it's a slightly dangerous one...
