My husband and I are former Air Force Food Service Specialists, (22 years)the
AF actually did some statistical study and determined that a large majority of
people shy away from yellow food. Really. Wax beans, yellow squash, anything.


 Northerners are worse at it, seems in the south they are more willing to eat
strange things? Must explain Okra. ;) (I'm joking!!)

They determined that, given a choice, the vast majority will eat green stuff
over yellow. Actually used it to plan their World-Wide Menu's.

Maybe that yellow/green preference has something to do with it?

Just my Yankee two cents worth!

Food related - One of the few dishes that wasn't a success in our Festival
encampment was "Chickpeas in Saffron" (roman recipe from Mark Grant's book I
believe [will give forth details later when I can find the book amidst my
messy nest]).  The chickpeas had been pre-soaked and cooked up tender , the
saffron was just right, they were truely nummy but no-one wanted to try
them. (it's been suggested that they are all only used to green peas and
thought something evil had occured to them).

Any suggestions on how to introduce this dish around?  Normally these people
will have a go at just about anything that stands still.
