What is disgusting to one person can be a delicacy to another. Sometimes we need to change our eating habits. If we move or travel to a new place with a different culture, our favorite meat, fruit and vegetables may not be available to us. As a result, we have to eat what is different from the food we are used to. Slowly, this strange food may become familiar to us. Our tastes may change, too, and we begin to enjoy eating the food that used to seem unusual to us.2) Read the passage in different ways.
