I don't get this one. It's not that weird. I'm around Caucasians constantly who don't find this weird either. But maybe it's because they grew up on farms? Same with eating offal. I don't think it's weird. But I've met Asians who thinks that liver congee is the equivalent of peeing in the food.
Fried gizzards with spices. God damn it's a good snack for beers. When I was growing up I was laughed at for eating the Kale on the dish because it was garnish, not food. Now it's a super food.
Hands down for me, the one that gets the most remarks is Durian and then sour cream in borscht. The first one, fair. The second one, wtf, that's the traditional way to eat it!
Most of that has been posted is IMO not really weird at all. Something that I don't get why people get weirded out is how I like eating certain fast food. Mama/Papa/Grandpa burgers dipped in A&W gravy, yum. KFC chicken in the gravy, yum.
Although... I don't know if they actually think that the food I'm eating is grossing them out or if they're disturbed by the thought of the cholesterol I'm consuming per bite...

How is this weird? I love this, especially with a huge dab of horsey sauce on each bite.

Or vice versa, a pinch of salt in a supposed to be sweet dish helps to hide bitterness and enhance the sweetness.
But to be fair, I get your point. I specifically think this is the case with grape fruit as well. Modern grapefruits are sweet vs ultra bitter.
