Floss
I first arrived in Taiwan at the start of Chinese New Year, so school was not in session, and I was on my own to explore a culture I knew very little about. One of the challenges when you are in a place where your knowledge of the local language is limited is finding food. Now, I'll try pretty much anything once, but I don't really like surprises. And a surprise is what I got one day after finding a small bakery. I was faced with a shelf of interesting looking bread products, and I selected one that looked like some kind of toasted crumble on top, and when I bit into it, I was expecting something sweet. But alas, tastes in Taiwan are different than in the West, and I quickly learned that "pork floss" - a dried, hairy textured pork with a decidedly non-pork taste - played a prominent role in baked goods, despite the fact that the breads themselves were on the sweeter side. I wasn't prepared, and it was not delicious. I don't mind pork in a meat dish, but mixing sweet breads and pastries with dried pork just didn't work for me. Luckily, I became an expert at identifying the stuff before purchasing ;)
