I think that you are more than adequately opinionated, but you have the 
potential to be truly exceptional. ;-)

That all sounds delicious.   I think you get a lot more out of eating if 
you're willing to try new things.  The best thing to with food opinions 
informed by "ewww! rotten fish!" type prejudices is to tune them out 
entirely.  More for the rest of us.  :-)

(I made 10lb of sauerkraut for the last feast T and I cooked.  I should 
have made 20.)
