Don't be so surprised.  My own mother had never even eaten anything like Tacos,
Avocados, Mushrooms, Chinese food....until she married my dad and moved to
California.  My Grandfather....her father always called Guacamole "that green
shit I aint eating".  My father in law was nearly 50 before he tried Chinese
food for the first time ever.....in the early 1990's....lol.  My daughters have
friends that come eat at our house and always want to know what they are
eating.  When I say something like "Mac and cheese" they say....you mean it
didn't come out of the box??"

PS  We love pomegranates too.  Lots of work though!
