i think he said pretty clearly that he does not eat those foods if given the choice and that he does not display disgust to a host. Just because those foods elicit that response in him (and I am right there with him, as are other adults) does not mean he demonstrates the response at a hosts house. And if he said that, why can you not seem to accept it to be so?
I think it is fair to guess that a primary reason why you would not know about those types of food related responses is because you don’t share them so it would not necessarily come up. I have a handful of friends who dread rosh Hashana meals because fish heads turn their stomachs, as do sheeps heads and random other traditional items. We talk about it more then, than other times, and other people probably don’t talk about it at all.
