"In that case, can I offer you a tall glass of spoiled milk with some everclear in it?"
Spoiled milk is a delecacy in some places. I would find something far more foul. I mean, they do drink BMC horse urine after all.

I have no clue what he once was but now he is reality tv. That's an immediate 3 strikes. Yeah, the weird international foods thing is fun - I'll give him back one strike for some of that.

being a sarcastic jackass. That's like my dream job.
So at risk of going way off topic what are the weirdest things you have eaten or had to drink in out of the way places?
I had a sip of 'skake shake' in Botswana once. Kind of a sorghum beer sold in wax milk jugs. VILE! One sip was enough.

I once drank a bud light. I'm still in therapy trying to forget that traumatic day.
I run a support group every second Saturday

All the time.... "Do you make Coors Light or Miller Light beers?"
Guy was out working on our well this week, and my wife gave him a session saison while he worked. He said it "ain't bad, tastes like Budweiser".
I'm pretty sure he thought that was a compliment. I'm sure he was thinking, "These homebrew Budweisers sure taste weird as hell, but I'll say something nice." Anyway, I told him there's saaz in it, and that's often used in lagers, so I complimented him on his sensitive palette. Felt pretty charitable.
This one from the BMC ppl kinda makes me laugh
(Homebrew club contest winning beer)
Me: "Hey, how you like it?"
BMC friend: "Oh it's really good!"
Minutes later I find the half full bottle hidden out off to the side and there they are with a miller light...

This would aggravate me to no end. When I ask an opinion of somebody I genuinely want an opinion. Well actually this is the case for asking anybody anything. I would rather have somebody tell me that they didn't really enjoy something or that it wasn't to their preference as compared to the pat on the back "good job" when they're not enjoying it. How are we as brewers (or anybody as anything) supposed to improve if the feedback we get is false?
Real life example: Brewed up my first IPA. Didn't look up any recipes for it, looked at the BJCP guidelines, my efficiency, some IBU calculators and off to the races! Ended up at 6.5%, 55-60 IBU, a beautiful darker than amber but not quite red. The first person I shared with (coworker who often gets a 6 pack) sent 5 back the next day. I later got one "I like it" two "awesome"s and one "Absolutely divine." No problems with getting those 5 back, more for the rest of us. Yet if it had of been murdered in the interests of not hurting my feelings, we'd all be shedding tears.
