Food and culture / 食文化

Asami wrote about food and culture on her blog. Asamiさんは食文化に関するいろいろな質問をブログでまとめました。Here's a question that I think is related to here question. その関連で、次の質問を考えました。

If horse lover came to Kumamoto and were taken out to dinner to eat basashi, should they eat it to be polite? 熊本にきた馬が好きな外国人が食事に招待され、その場で馬刺が出てきたら、嫌でも食べるべきですか？
