Only later was I given the advice to claim that anything you didn't fancy you could get away without eating by claiming it was “against to your religion” to eat such things.

Another bit of advice was if you’re chewing on something that seems tasty and not too grisly if a grinning local asks you if you know what you’re eating always say “yes”.

Otherwise whatever it is will be described in the most detailed way making whatever it is even worse by the knowledge of how it was caught / killed / eviscerated / whatever.
