You're absolutely right. "Normal" is just a relative concept.

Japanese cuisine has a substantial part of it built around eating raw produce. Such that many sushi are deemed ok for expecting mothers to eat.

Meanwhile balut is a delicacy in South East Asia.

Scottish people eat haggis, and Iceland eats hakarl (which traditionally used urine)

Asians eat durian while the French love blue cheese. I think all tastes can be acquired.

> Iceland eats hakarl (which traditionally used urine)

I don't think hakarl was ever processed with urine - it just smells like it because of the high urea content. Do you have a source that it was processed with urine?

It’s super popular in France, Spain, and other European countries. While even some meat eaters dislike it, most people love it.

I think "Impossible Tartar" or "Beyond Tartar" was referred to here, not actual beef tartar.

That does sound disgusting, indeed.
