Woman accused of being 'xenophobic' when she won't eat MIL's pudding.

When this woman is weirded out by her MIL&#39;s recipe, she asks Reddit:'AITA for refusing to eat traditional British food cooked by my British step-mother in law because it&#39;s gross to me?' For context I, Indian-American (28F) who grew up vegetarian, was introduced to meat by my Italian-American husband Massimo (31M)(fake name). So I became a meat eater 3 years ago.  I started out by eating his mom&#39;s home cooked food, which is really good. I only eat chicken, fish and bacon, and have grown quite fond of the texture and taste of chicken and bacon.  My husband&#39;s biological father Arthur (49M) is British and lives with his family in the UK. After my husband reconnected with his bio dad, his dad booked tickets for us to visit him in the UK.  The first day we were invited to join them for breakfast at their family home, and his dad&#39;s wife had prepared all kinds of traditional delicacies for us.  Although the food was bland, I powered through most of them because I genuinely appreciated her hard work and didn&#39;t want her to feel bad. However, when it was time for us to try their family favorite, I absolutely noped out of it.  I did not want to eat black pudding. I know one of the ingredients is blood, and I definitely did not want to eat blood. I refused to. It&#39;s just gross to me.  My step MIL tried really hard to convince me to at least try it, as it was apparently a 100 year old family recipe passed down through generations. When I didn&#39;t budge, my step MIL got really offended and accused me of being xenophobic.  AITA? Let&#39;s find out.weffywoo writes: NTA!
