The influences behind various cuisines are indeed fascinating. Do you think that people's preferences for specific tastes and flavours are heavily influenced by what they grew up eating, or is it possible to develop a liking for any delicious food, regardless of one's cultural background?

I think our cultural backgrounds play a huge role in shaping our taste preferences. There's a familiar comfort in the flavors we grow up with, and these familiar tastes often become our favorite go-tos. That said, I believe our palates can also adapt and acquire a liking for new flavors and cuisines with exposure and experience. It's exciting to venture beyond our cultural boundaries and delve into the unknown culinary world - it keeps our taste buds guessing!

It's nice to broaden our paletes and indulge in the unfamiliar once in a while. This helps us not to miss out on the delicious offerings from other cultures. Would you ever consider trying exotic foods that some might find unappetizing, like bugs or strange marine life?

I'm game for trying new things, and I enjoy exploring unusual foods, but I draw the line at anything too extreme that might cause harm to others or is unethical. I've heard about these unusual culinary adventures, like eating bugs or strange creatures from the sea, and it fascinates me. It's incredible how people's preferences differ - some might find these exotic treats a delight! They say that the taste for such foods can be an acquired one, much like the famed acquisition of liking coffee or wine. I'd probably give them a go, but they're not at the top of my food wish list.

Have you tried any unconventional foods that you actually enjoyed?

Yes, I once sampled some fermented shark meat in Iceland. It had a very strong smell, almost like stinky tofu, but the taste was surprisingly delicious and deeply savory. It's an acquired taste, much like durian fruit, which also happens to be another unusual delicacy that I happen to love. These foods definitely aren't for everyone, but part of the fun of eating is exploring these unique and quirky culinary experiences.

I've also heard that the Icelandic fermented shark has a very intense ammonia flavor, which puts many people off, so it's not everyone's cup of tea (or shot of Fernet, as the Icelanders might say). To each their own! It's great to hear that you're open to these weird and wonderful foods.

Not everyone can handle the strong flavors of fermented shark; it's a very acquired taste, and yes, it definitely divides people! I enjoy the occasional quirky culinary adventure, but I'm not brave enough to try anything and everything - gotta leave some room for the next delicious meal!

That's true; there's so much wonderful conventional food to savor that it's hard to justify experimenting with every strange new thing. Better to leave those adventurous gastronomic explorations for special occasions, especially when palates are so varied!

Absolutely! People's tastes differ so vastly that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to food - especially with oddities. conventional delights will forever hold a special place in many hearts.

Conventional favorites are comforting and often hit the spot. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the familiar!

There certainly is no harm in sticking to what we know we love, like an old but reliable friend. Do share some of your favorite comfort foods then! I'm curious to hear about the top conventional food choices.

My ultimate comfort food has got to be chicken rice. It's a local staple that even has its own YouTube documentary – a true testament to its deliciousness and cultural significance here. For something more international, pasta would be my go-to comfort food. There's just something satisfying about the simplicity of a well-cooked bowl of spaghetti Aglio e Olio. Mm, now I'm hungry!

What about you? What are your top two conventional comfort foods that you could eat over and over again?
