英语博客：ESL Podcast 769 – Trying Unusual Foods

 　　Antonio: What is that smell?! It stinks¹!

　　Candace: This is a dish my roommate taught me to make. It’s really good. Want a bite?

　　Antonio: You’ve got to be kidding me! You actually eat that? You can stomach something that smells that foul²?

　　Candace: Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. I admit that it’s an acquired taste, but once you develop a taste for it, you’ll not only like it, you’ll crave³ it like I do.

　　Antonio: I would never crave something that unappetizing. You’ve gone over the edge. I’ve always known you were weird⁴, but this takes the cake.

　　Candace: You need to open your mind to new culinary experiences. You need to wake up your taste buds. Your palate will thank you for it. If you try it, you might like it.

　　Antonio: If I try it, I may puke!
