Anders' offhanded comment contains a critically important notion.  If you
are going to retrain your mind to eat things you are currently unaccustomed
to devouring, there are two important steps to follow.  First, go light
rations for a couple days before, or very low fat for two or three days, so
that everything looks good.  Then snack lightly on crackers and drink some
beer.  It must be beer, no other alcohol, beer.  It does open one's mind to
new foods.  I don't know why that is, but you will understand if you have
ever been out with buddies on a fishing day, eating things and drinking
beer.  After a day of that, one will swallow anything that comes out of the
water.  That's how I became turned on to raw oysters.  It works.
