Back in the early '50s when I was a child, we visited my grandparents in
Olympia, Washington. At a family picnic I had the best steak I had ever
eaten - tender, flavorful. I asked for seconds. A few years later my
mother asked me if I would ever consider eating horsemeat. I made a
face and said "no". "Well," she said, "that's what you had in Washington."
Our minds play a powerful role in how we perceive the food we eat. In
Argentina in the early '60s, my fellow students happily ate "sesos y
huevos revueltos". The latter, scrambled eggs, I would have eaten.
Unfortunately for me, I knew what "sesos" were - brains.
